We just want to take time out of our holiday break to say Happy New Year to all of our fabulous brides-to-be, newlyweds and "old married ladies". As we look back, this has truly been a momentous year. But of course we are already lining up more great things for our readers in 2011. We heart you more than words can say. Let us all make this year a great one!

Happy New Year!
Christmas & Engagements
As our regular readers have probably noticed, we are now on our holiday posting schedule. That means there will be slightly fewer posts until after New Year's Day, but that does not mean that we aren't still cranking out juicy content. Wedding experts tell us that Christmas marks a prime time for couples to become officially engaged. What about you? Are you expecting to become a bride-to-be on Christmas Day? Or are you a married lady who received your proposal on Christmas? If so, please tell us all about it!
Oh, Happy Day! Part Deux
For today's installment of Wordless Wednesday we give you more pictures from the beautiful wedding of our planner-turned-bride, Brittiny from Amour Toujours Event Design. Enjoy!

Alfred Angelo Dress Giveaway!
- by Brittiny
This year has marked two very personal tragedies and life changing events for me. I have decided that I should live by a mantra that I have believed in for a very long time: Do onto others as you would have them do unto you. Therefore, I have decided to give away my second wedding dress that I bought on an emotional whim :D. It is a size 12 Alfred Angelo designer destination wedding gown that retails for $1199 and was on sale for $640. The dress was a store sample and will need to be cleaned. It is a discontinued sample, but the stock number is 755. The dress is white. The only caveat to my giveaway is I would like a story in 100 words or less of why you deserve to be the winner of the dress. Shipping expenses are not covered in the win and will be $75.00.
E-mail your story to me. Don't wait! The deadline is Black Friday (November 26th), which is also known as the day after Thanksgiving.
