Vote for your favorite Finger Lakes love story!

We recently put out a call on our Facebook page in search of love stories from the Finger Lakes.  We were  looking for stories of love that might include a marriage proposal, a wedding overlooking one of the lakes, a first kiss, or a special anniversary celebration.  In total we received over 40 submissions over a few days.  Last night our office narrowed down the stories to our favorite three.

Now we need your help with the final voting round to find the favorite Finger Lakes love story.  From now until Sunday, February 14th at 9PM all of our Facebook fans will have the chance to vote once for one of the following love stories.  You will need to be a Facebook user and a Finger Lakes Wine Country fan to be able to voite.  The writer of the winning story will receive a Finger Lakes Bubbly! Box and a glass heart paperweight from The Corning Museum of Glass

#1 Peg McMillen French and her Keuka Lake love story ~
Fell in love with Keuka since I could walk...grew up on Keuka at family cottage just south of Snug Harbor on W Lake Rd. Met & later married a Hammondsport guy, lived on Keuka-walked her beaches, watched her sunsets, watched her wildlife, drank her wine..swam, power-boated, sailed, scuba-dove, and cruised on Keuka...spent wonderful moments with our son boating, soaking in the sunshine, skipping stones, and feeding ducks…he is buried just down the road after we lost him in ’97…a lifetime of great memories…will always, always, no matter where I am…come back to restore my soul in Keuka’s waters…

#2 Jannica Moskal and her Seneca Lake love story ~
I fell in love in the Finger Lakes!!! Mark made us a fire on the shore of Seneca Lake; we enjoyed a simple dessert of vanilla ice cream topped with fresh blueberries. We finished our dessert and walked to the end of the dock. Together we sat, letting our legs dangle over the edge; talking for hours and watching the fish swim beneath our feet. Once the June sun set, we laid on our backs gazing at the stars and the moon, pointing out the satellites floating through space. Later that night, he held my hand and walked me to my car. We said good-bye, kissed our first kiss, and I knew…

#3 Mj Challen-Kircher and her proposal on Cayuga Lake story ~
My husband sent me on a scavenger hunt through the Cayuga Wine Trail. I got calls from loved ones along the way. A dress was left waiting for me at Swedish Hill - when I got to Cayuga Ridge he was down on one knee, with candles & a bottle of Cranberry Frost!
