Theresa Thacker and Heather Thomason of Douglasville, Ga. arecompeting to win Crate & Barrel's Ultimate Dream Wedding -- and with 14 kids between the two of them, they've earned their dream come true.

"Believe it or not Heather and I met online," Theresa writes in the couple's introduction. "We exchanged emails, which gradually brought us to talking on the phone. We clicked right away and talked for over an hour before setting up a date."

With nine adoptive children, Theresa writes that she was certain Heather "was going to put her car in reverse and drive away quickly" the night of their first date. "Although I had informed her I had adopted kids she had no idea they would all run out the house to meet her once she pulled in the driveway, despite my telling them to stay in the house."

Heather has five kids of her own, though only two are school-aged. "Talk about a busy household," Theresa writes. "Heather takes care of me and ensures I don't lose sight of the fact that I am more than a mom of nine kids."

The two are planning to get married in April, 2012, their second anniversary of knowing one another. "I entered the Crate & Barrel Ultimate Wedding Contest so that we could possibly win the wedding of a lifetime," Theresa writes. "Having such a large household and expenses it would be very difficult for us to afford the wedding we both dream of."
