Today's Giveaway Prize
John of Chattanooga, TN has been a Slickdeals user since 2004. On what seemed like a typical day in November 2007, John saw a deal for a free iPod if he started an engage.com account. With the incentive of a free iPod, he didn’t hesitate to sign up.
A few days later, John found Liz. Liz was a more than 100 miles away in Atlanta and had also always been smart with her money. It started with a few emails, which progressed to phone calls and months later, John and Liz decided to finally meet up in Atlanta.
Though the couple didn’t use a deal for their first date (they went to a fancy seafood restaurant and John paid full price), John and Liz are now at the stage where they never go out without a taking advantage of a deal. In addition to looking for Slickdeals, John and Liz have also leveraged their enthusiasm for photography to get into festivals for free...and that’s how John knew.
Nine months ago, John got down on one knee and asked Liz to be his partner for life. The April 28th wedding includes a dash of deals here and there including a coupon for their honeymoon cruise, a discount for the house where the wedding will be held and of course, John’s bachelor party shirt that says, “Brought to you by Slickdeals”.
When asked what advice they would give fellow Slickdeals community members, John and Liz say that when dating, “Planning is essential. Don’t go anywhere without coupons!” and of course, “Bond over your love for Slickdeals!”
Congratulations and Best Wishes from the Slickdeals community!
Update: Here's a picture of John and Liz at their wedding!

It had to do with following the Slickdeals advice
You sure do assume a lot

"MOM! I don't care if you want grandkids and you are concerned because I'm 29 and you think my life is slipping away... IM NOT GETTING MARRIED"

Again, it had to do with the S-L-I-C-K-D-E-A-L-S aspect of that whole message that was originally presented; and how I have encouraged two people to come onto this site to save cha-ching - get it yet
Another person ASSuming a lot
The n00bs are in town

It was hard to read exactly where you were coming from, once attacked by one n00b, over something that I had already explained, and it seemed you were heading the same direction.
My apologies

Exactly, now if we could get other people, especially young people to understand the concept of SLICKDEALS and all that it offers them, I would be thrilled beyond words
As for the person trying to tell 2 others she knows... - please don't. The "really amazingly nice guy" stopped taking his anti-psychotics 2 yrs in and started beating on himself and everything else in sight, and I lost my best friend who meant more to me than he did. You never really know someone...well you don't ever really know someone.
Chill everyone. No one is arguing that marriage sucks; all that is left to debate is the why.
Focus on what matters.
