Boyfriend, Dean Blanton not only stood by her, he asked her to be his wife and spend their lives together, through sickness and in health. “Winning this contest means the world to me,” says Binh. I want my husband to see me on our wedding day as the most beautiful woman he has ever laid eyes on, and for the world to see that I have fought, overcome, and am a survivor that won’t be defeated.” Beautiful Linens donated by Wildflower Linens, valued at $1500.
