Back in December, we had a Pay It Forward giveaway and I was offering a floral package from the amazing Lynn Lucente. The winner needed to either live in or be getting married in Orange County. We chose a winner on December 16th. We never heard from her. :( I normally would give a winner 3 days to contact me and claim their giveaway...but because of the holidays and because of the value of this giveaway ($1265!) I wanted to give her more time. The other problem...and let this be a lesson to everyone who enters my giveaways....the winner did not leave me a way to contact her. She left her blog info...where I have posted messages asking her to contact me. I have waited for so long, but now it is time to move forward. Another winner has been chosen.

I ordered this same color too, Light Gold, can't wait to see it!!! Oh yeah, did I mention I haven't seen it in person? Well, it's a little hard to shop from here BUT I tried on wedding gowns in the past and I knew I needed an A-line with a corset top. I think I have a winner. Don't you think?

Please keep in mind, we only did this for fun and since it was well requested from fans for us to make a music video to this song. We are not claiming it's our song in any way, we know that the original song and music video is a lot better than what we did and we do encourage you to follow and check out Taeyang's music. Shout outs to Pat Lam from SoRealCru for taking part in the video. We wish Taeyang a happy birthday!

Lyrics:
(Verse 1 - Tommy C)
Never should've let you go
Never found myself at home
Ever since that day that you walked
Right out the door
You were like my beating heart
That I, I can't control
Even though weve grown apart
My brain cant seem to let you go
Thinking back to the old times
When you kept me up late at night
We use to mess around
Laugh and play, fuss and fight
(Pre-Chorus)
I guess its too late, Im dancing this dance alone
This chapters done, the story goes on
(Chorus)
Baby
Can't believe that you are not with me
'Cause you should be my lady
All I want is to set your heart free
But if you believe that you belong with him
Promise me, you wont let anyone hurt you
Remember, I will always be here for you
Even if it kills me to see you
In that wedding dress
Oh see you in that wedding dress
See you in that wedding dress
Oh see you in that wedding dress
(Verse 2)
Snappin out this misery
Depression this aint me
But I always turn around
180 degrees
You got control of me
And I, I cant explain
Somebody call 911 Emergency
Before I go insane
Since youve moved on
You took a piece of me give it back
So much pain in my chest
Blacking out, heart attack
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Verse 3 - J.Reyez)
And I see you with your man and it's hard to understand
If we belong, if I did you wrong, where we even began
We would always fuss and fight and it seems nothing was right
But I loved you girl and you were my world but you'd never trust this guy
'Cause the things I do when I'm on the stage, they say I'm a superstar
You couldn't understand all the female fans and then we grew apart
And I just don't get when you're acting like some other person
But I try my best to hold on at the times when it ain't working
And everytime that you say it's over it breaks my heart and I don't know why
'Cause you've done it a lot of times in the past but I get back up and try
You said we could work it out, how could you hurt me now
And you moved on to the next, I'm left with an imperfect smile
(Chorus)
