Chicago Area's Cutest Couple: South Suburban Pair Married 33 Years
Who will be crowned Patch's Cutest Couple in the Chicago Area? Put down the chocolates, turn down the Barry White and let's find out.
We asked our Chicago area Patch readers to show us just how cute a couple they make with their significant other. The couples were competing for the title of Cutest Couple, with a giftcard toward a night out in Chicago on the line.
So which couple gave our readers that loving feeling this Valentine's Day?
"If you're looking for the epitome of cute in the Chicago area, look no further than Bob and Eileen Stillwell," one reader wrote.
"Eileen & Bob! Still Angelic today!" commented another.
"Bob and Eileen Stillwell. In love as much today as yesterday."
Congratulations to the winner of Patch's Cutest Couple Contest:
New Lenox residents Bob and Eileen Stillwell.
Married 33 years, Bob and Eileen have lived in New Lenox for 20 years. Check out the photo from their wedding day.
Bob and Eileen will receive a giftcard to Chicago hotspot Gather. Known for its superb wines, scrumptious food and cozy setting, Gather could be the perfect place for a night out with your sweetheart.

The contest was judged by number of comments. Bob and Eileen received the most by far (and yes, I went through and tallied by hand).

Lauren, sounds like buford's not one of the people that you cant please some of the time, they're one of the people you cant please all of the time. Maybe you should do a recount. Did you check for dangling chad?

Well, Lauren, you've heard the saying "Let no good deed go unpunished." What a way to start your weekend. I enjoyed the contest and can't think of a more deserving example. Thanks for your efforts.

Good deed? I mean no offense but how is it a contest when you send in a picture and tell your friends to make comments on it. I find it kinda sad really. No guy would ever do this, you would lose your man card for that. I get that it is just a fun, silly contest, I just seem to find it way more silly than fun.
