Isn’t it a perfect moment to walk down the aisle toward the man and car of your dreams at the same time? And isn’t it that Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to celebrate love and start your whole lifetime together? I tell you, I’m not dreaming!

At approximately 7 a.m today, Valentine’s Day, Blake Humphrey and Jackie Rohner, winners of the Dodge “Journey of A Lifetime” contest, exchanged their marriage vows in front of 100 of their closest family and friends and around 1,000 cars on display at the ongoing 100th Chicago Auto Show, North America’s largest auto show. The couple also got the ultimate chance to win an all-new 2009 Dodge Journey and an all-expense paid wedding with the “Infinity” band giving an exclusive entertainment during the reception.

According to autoblog.com, Humphrey was a fireman while Rohner was an educator who met each other on St. Patrick’s day and were engaged On December last year. The lucky couples were chosen among 63 couples who joined the said contest.

According to Mike Acavitti, Dodge Brand and SRT Marketing and Communication Director, the 2009 Dodge Journey is the perfect vehicle for single individuals who are about to crossover to married life.

“Dodge is offering Blake and Jackie the chance to start their journey together at the auto show. Dodge wanted to help this couple start their journey on the right road with a bold wedding ceremony and a new set of wheels that will help them meet life’s changing demands - the all-new Dodge Journey,” Acavitti added.

The 2009 Dodge Journey, unveiled at the 2007 International Motor Show, said Michael Manley, Chrysler International sales' Marketing and Business Development Executive Vice President, is an entire package of car that delivers safety, quality and reliability. It features flexible seating, spacious cargo room and a fuel-efficient and powerful power train. Its Manufacturer’s Suggested retail Price (MSRP) is pegged at $19,985 (including $625 destination).

The couple’s Valentine wedding was a dream come true as stated in their winning essay which chronicled their love story and their mutual passion for adventure - the greatest of which is winning the Dodge “Journey of a Lifetime” contest and tying the knot at the Chicago Auto Show.
