Local Couple Needs Your Vote To Win Free Wedding

July 29, 2013

A local couple is in the running to win the Pensacola Block Party Wedding Contest — a free wedding held on the streets of Pensacola with everything donated by various vendors.

Jessica (Jessy) Killam and her fiance Jarrett Swearingen are top ten finalists, and they are asking for North Escambia readers to vote for them to win the fabulous free wedding.

Jessica grew up in Byrneville and graduated from Northview High School. Her fiance Jarrett grew up in Jay and graduated from Jay High School. He’s now an Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy.

The couple met on a blind date in December 2011 and almost immediately fell in love.

“Marriage is important to both of us, Putting God first is definitely a must,” a poem penned by the couple says. “We both have divorced parents, no one’s willing to help. We’ll be paying for our wedding all by ourself. Winning this wedding would be a dream come true, The future Mr. & Mrs. Swearingen saying I do. We go together like two peas in a pod, Can’t wait to begin our marriage blessed by God!”

The couple has gone to great lengths to garner votes for the contest — from painting a campaign message on Pensacola’s famed “Graffiti Bridge”, to handouts with an easy to scan QR code for smartphones, to campaign t-shirts, to asking for this article on NorthEscambia.com.

To vote for Jessica and Jarrett in the Pensacola Block Party Wedding Contest, click here and choose “Jessica  Killam & Jarrett Swearingen” from the drop-down menu. Voting ends at midnight today and is limited to one vote per email address.
