NEW YORK (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) March 5, 2008 --
The Knot Inc. (NASDAQ: KNOT), creators of the #1 wedding website
TheKnot.com, announces the launch of the first annual The Knot Real
Wedding Awards—the first-of-its-kind social
network and showcase of the best real weddings across America. This
groundbreaking, interactive contest connects the site’s
massive audience of recent brides with its millions of brides-to-be.
“Real weddings are amazing,”
says Carley Roney, editor in chief of The Knot. “We
are continuously in awe of the level of creativity of real couples
across the country. This incredibly addictive photo gallery highlights
the amazing talent of our millions of members and wedding professionals.
We wanted to give them the chance to showcase their wedding day details
for all the world to see.”
HOW TO ENTER THE KNOT REAL WEDDING
AWARDS
Already generating tremendous buzz, The Knot Real Wedding Awards invites
recently married couples and top wedding photographers, videographers,
and wedding planners from all 50 states to upload photos, videos, and
personal wedding websites from their 2007 weddings to a gallery on
TheKnot.com.
With the thousands of creative entries from across the country pouring in—like
a bride and groom whose first dance included an Irish step dance; a
punk-rock circus themed nuptials; a couple who literally “races”
to the alter as they say their vows during a marathon; a bride and groom
pastry chef duo who made two gorgeous wedding cakes and all of the
delectable desserts; and a videographer who turns a couple’s
wedding day into an actual movie trailer—the
bar has definitely been set high for all the contestants.
The fun online application allows couples and wedding professionals to
showcase extraordinary ceremonies, receptions, flowers, design details,
personalized websites, and more creative ideas. It also provides
inspiration for the millions of soon-to-be brides logging on to
TheKnot.com each day.
All weddings are available at www.theknot.com/realweddingawards,
where editors of The Knot, real brides, and wedding enthusiasts can vote
for their favorites in the following categories:
-- Best Wedding Photos
-- Best Wedding Videos
-- Best Wedding Web Pages
