Good luck to my dear friend Pamela and the luckiest man, Jarno! Love you guys!

Pam and Jarno need to win this one. They deserve it the most. Heck they trekked all the way up that mountain and he proposed on the mountain closest to the sky and on the Forever Snow to be close to her recently deceased mother. They felt that Judy brought them together.
How much more romantic can this get? well she has moved to Holland to be with him after such a short whirlwind courtship and familial opposition.
These two lovers are twin flames- soulmates. it doesn’t get anymore intense than this. Why else would this opportunity open up to them? I love you guys. I pray that you wil, or else it’s the backyard and the ducks!
Love, Auntie Nina
October 20th, 2009 at 7:10 pm
GOOD LUCK, Lindsay! I hope this helps make your day even MORE beautiful!
October 20th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
Linds – Good luck, Big! You deserve the weddings you\’ve always wanted. Love, Kerry

I met Lindsey one summer as we waitressed at the “BarN and Grille” in New Hampshire. Both her and her sister are two of the kindest girls I have ever met. While I may not know Jason, I do happen to know he is a very luck guy. I wish them both the best, regardless if they win! (but I hope they do )
October 20th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Good Luck Lindsey and Jason. I know Joining Team Johnson will be great for the TEAM…

I voted for a couple with a real, true love story, and they live in the US! It’s ironic that the rules state contestants must live in the US, yet a comment above clearly shows that one couple lives in Holland, not anywhere near the US…
October 21st, 2009 at 8:39 pm
I want to sit next to Uncle Davib!!! Best of luck Lindsay and Jason
October 21st, 2009 at 8:45 pm
