Win a Romantic Getaway to The Anniversary Inn with Your Couple Photos and “How We Met” story.

One lucky couple will receive a FREE one-night stay at the beautiful Anniversary Inn of their choice, in the room of their choice! (Valued up to $289.) In addition to the luxury of spending focused time and attention on each other, you’ll enjoy the relaxing in-room jacuzzi, complimentary cheesecake, sparkling apple cider, and a delicious freshly baked breakfast delivered to your suite.

To enter the drawing, send us a favorite photo of you and your spouse, and/or a wedding or engagement photo, by Saturday, February 14th, 2009.

Tell us the story of how you met, how many years you’ve been married, plus something you do to strengthen your marriage (500 words or less). The lucky couple will be contacted by email, and then announced in our “Straight Talk about Strengthening Marriage” newsletter.

We’re very excited about this fun new effort to strengthen marriages. Everyone enjoys those how-did-you-meet stories! We’ll post the photos on our Couples Photos page, and begin posting the “How We Met” stories (with the pictures) on “Laura’s Strengthening Marriage Blog.” This will be a fun new feature for readers to reflect on the delight of their courtship days, plus glean ideas from others for strengthening their marriages.

You don’t have to have a perfect marriage to send us your story and photos or we’d have nothing to post! So, enter today to win this romantic getaway by sending us:

1. Your favorite couple photo and a wedding or engagement photo (uncropped, 300dpi — either one or both photos would be great!) with your first names, and how many years you’ve been married.

2. Your “How We Met” story, and something you do to strengthen your marriage (500 words or less).

Send your photo(s) and story here. We look forward to many fun photos and stories!
