Looks like the fix was in....

originally the rules said the judges would choose from the top 3 vote-getters.... at the last minute it was changed to the top 5.

Amber & Tyler got 12,000 votes to the second place couple who got 7,000, the third place couple had 3,000 and the couples after them were in the 2,000's and way below.

Amber just posted this on Facebook:
Happy Valentine’s Day! Although we did not win the So Cal Dream Wedding, we still feel like winners. Thank you all for the support, votes and kind words. We feel so loved and you truly have lifted our spirits. We look forward to having our own dream wedding one day.


I'm thinking they probably are lucky not to have their wedding in this company's hands.

Thank you all for all of your effort and support... I know it meant a lot to Tyler and Amber.

They have something worth much more than $100,000 and it will last long beyond one Dream Day.

Oh Tara...I am so upset!!! I know the judges had final say, but WOW!!!

Tyler and Amber have a beautiful life ahead. The two of them truly have a fantastic outlook and I wish them all the best.

When I read the part about the judges having the final vote, I kind of felt like it was over. Best wishes to Amber and Tyler. How did his surgery go?

I haven't heard yet.. Amber did say that this was their second consecutive Valentines Day spent in the hospital ~ hoping it's the last.

What a shame.

Got an address they wouldn't mind sharing? Let's send them cards!

GREAT IDEA CB!!!

Share it, Boom!!!

You can send them to:
Tyler Gilliam & Amber Kolb
c/o Pacific Rescue
22 Anacapa St
Santa Barbara, CA 93101

I know that they will be touched deeply.
Thanks everyone... I was so upset when I saw her post but I truly do believe that it's a blessing in the end.

AWWW man! I like CB's idea, I am off to get a wonderful card for them.

I do hope Tylers surgery went well, I will keep them close in thought and continue sending good thoughts.

I'm putting one in the mail...

Some things just aren't right. I'm just saying.

I'm with Timmy, what a shame. If you say that it's going to be who gets the most votes. How could the judges choose someone else? I read all the stories, and theirs was certainly the most compelling IMHO...but you are right boom, maybe a dream wedding with this company would have been a nightmare.

Not right - last minute changes by those in charge because it isn't going their way - oh I don't think so.

But yes - great idea CB.
