Congrats to our ‘My Valentine’ photo essay contest winners who won some bling

GretchenandKelly

First-place winner: Gretchen Lewis of Roanoke, who had lost touch with her Valentine, Kelly, for 13 years before reconnecting again.

Congratulations to the winning couples in our “My Valentine” photo essay contest. We received 48 submissions, and the winners were chosen by popular vote.

The first-place winner, Gretchen Lewis and her Valentine Kelly, received a 14-karat chocolate diamond ring provided by contest sponsor Henebry’s Jewelers. Here’s a fun fact: Their friendship grew while watching “Jeopardy!” every evening.

Find all of our winners (and their inspiring stories) here, and read all 48 photo essay entries here.

Thanks for entering … and voting!
