Welcome to the Money or Love Share Your Love Story Contest!
From August 12th through September 4th I will be posting entrees to the contest on this blog, in both video and written formats.
On September 5th, I will select three stories from all submissions as winners of signed copies of Money or Love .
Those three will then be posted across social media where people can vote for their favorite.
On September 12th the votes will be tallied and the #1 vote getter will will win a $100 gift certificate to Ristorante Lombardo, a Buffalo, NY landmark Italian Restaurant that plays a significant role in Money or Love.
(If the winner is from outside the Buffalo, NY area, a gift certificate from the restaurtant of their choice will be awarded.)
Thanks to every person who takes the time to share their love story in this contest. You are an inspiration to all of us looking for love ….at any age.
Money or Love Tell Me Your Story Contest Entree #3

It was my cousin Ann’s 19th birthday, and the whole family was together at her house. As was typical, Ann and I decided to leave, she wanted to rent tandem bikes. Her boyfriend Larry was at the gathering, but I was alone. Ann decided to call Michael Sullivan as he enjoyed outdoor activities.
Michael came into my aunt’s house with hair to the middle of his back, driving a van with a mattress inside. My parents were thrilled of course.
Off we went to Elliott Creek Park. I went home that night and told my friend Patti “I met the one”. She told me I was crazy.
Three years later Michael and I were married, Ann and Patti stood up for me.
We’ve been married 47 years. We have two children and 4 grandchildren and had good times and bad times. Through it all we are still best friends and wouldn’t have it any other way.
