Get Married and Bloomingdale's have teamed up to bring you some exciting events! And, if you are lucky enough to be a bride in any of the cities below, get yourself there!! Expert advice, the best registry ever and contests galore!! What are you waiting for?! Here are the details:


The best in registry pairs with the best in wedding planning, offering brides a fun-filled evening, meeting industry experts and participating in registry-themed contests. Get Married, the only multi-channeled wedding resource with the most sought-after industry experts online (www.GetMarried.com) and on Lifetime Television, partnered with Bloomingdale’s as the exclusive media partner for select “Pre-Wedding” Wedding Party events. Kicking off at Atlanta’s Lenox Square Bloomingdale’s location on May 7, 2009 from 6:00-8:00pm, Get Married will bring a camera crew to capture fresh content of brides and vendors. Get Married will sponsor three additional events at various Bloomingdale’s across the country through June.
Special guests for each event include DeAnna Pappas, co-host of Get Married’s show on Lifetime Television, who will facilitate the contests, which will focus on key registry areas—from bed and bath to tableware and travel accessories. Pappas will mingle with brides throughout the evening and offer personalized signed photographs. In addition, select Bloomingdale’s vendors will offer brides the latest registry tips and trends and showcase some of their most popular products.

“Get Married’s mission is to connect brides with the industry experts, and by partnering with Bloomingdale’s on these unique and inspirational in-store events, we are giving brides the best in registry and the best in wedding planning,” said Stacie Francombe, founder and president of Get Married and www.GetMarried.com.
Each “Pre-Wedding” Wedding Party event will include two contests, and participants will be selected among the event attendees upon sign-in. Contest winners will receive gifts from select vendors, as well as items provided by Get Married, including an autographed copy of Wedding Chic by Colin Cowie, celebrity wedding designer and host of Get Married. All brides attending the events will receive a gift bag.
“Our Wedding Party events have always been a huge success, and by partnering with Get Married, the experience for brides will be even more exciting. We invite all brides to attend and discover the latest bridal trends, explore our vast product assortment, and perhaps be profiled on Get Married’s show,” said Joanna Kartalis, director of The Registry for Bloomingdale’s.
