Love moved slowly for these two...initially. It took 10 years and a push from Cami's matchmaking cousin to finally bring them together earlier this year.

Cami had her heart set on a tall NBA star, but when she took a long hard look, realized Barry fit "the profile of my perfect man." "I knew before the first date...I waited for him to ask me to court him."

"It's the best decision I ever made...an incredible thing," Barry adds. "It's like I never experienced love before."

Cami entered the couple in the "Wedding of Your Dreams" contest...without telling Barry. "I didn't waste any time," quips Cami. "Reality is still setting in for me...oh yeah, the contest ...we won!"
