Second Finalist Announced - Greatest Love Story Video Contest

Sandals Resorts has announced its second finalist in the company’s Greatest Love Story Video Contest, a worldwide search to find the most romantic, inspirational and unique tale of love.  The lucky couple this month is Jeb and Ashlee Cleveland of Raeford, North Carolina.

“We feel so blessed to be picked as a finalist in the Sandals Greatest Love Story Video Contest.  We truly believe that we a have wonderful love story and are happy to be able to share it with everyone,” said Ashlee Cleveland.  “We are looking forward to going back to Sandals Resorts... and hope that we will win the grand prize so that we can renew our vows in paradise, where we spent our honeymoon!” 

Jeb and Ashlee first met on a blind date in college, but didn’t see each other again until fate brought them together five years later. They have been together since that fateful run-in and committed themselves whole heartedly to one another as Jeb serves in the United States Military and is often deployed for long periods of time. The couple is blessed with a beautiful little girl and is expecting another bundle of joy in August 2011. As a finalist in the Greatest Love Story Contest, the North Carolina couple are eligible to become the grand prize winning couple of an eight-day / seven-night Luxury Included ® Vacation to Sandals Montego Bay plus more, or as a runner-up receive a four-day / three-night Luxury Included® vacation land package for two to any Sandals Resort, located in Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Antigua, and The Bahamas.
