Awards were handed out to persons who either received the highest number of votes for certain categories or who won the category based on factual data they submitted.  For the awards presentation, we narrowed it down to the top 3 contenders in each category, the Nominees.  Each winner received a trophy engraved with the winning category name along with gag gifts related to the category.

Lisa Render was the "true" Newlywed classmate.  She and Brad were married in August 2002.  This was discovered after we learned Allison Miller should have won the prize as she was married in February 2002. Brad had heard the month, and realized he and Lisa should have been the winners. So somehow James Cope ended up “sharing” the award, which included  the trophy and edible undies, between the three of them.
