Wedding Guide: Material for Matrimony

The Express Wedding Guide, on newsstands today, isn't just an action-packed compendium of ring-shopping tips, stunning gowns and scrumptious cakes. It's also worth $35,000 in wedding goodies for some lucky couple out there. (And it's the reason you may have seen our street team of Express brides at Metro stations during rush hour today.)

If you've got a wedding in your future, head to our contest page, click on "Wedding Giveaway" and answer a few questions. We'll pick five couples based on how creative and compelling their answers are, and profile them in our Feb. 9 issue of Weekend Styles. Express readers will then choose a winner from the Final Five, who'll be crowned in our Feb. 23 issue. May the best pair win!

Speaking of weddings, don't forget that it's free to appear on our B.I.O. wedding announcements page, which appears in every Friday's Weekend Styles. All you need is an upcoming union. Send your names, contact info, date of ceremony and a photo (wacky is fine, but please don't send us any professional engagement pics) to weddings@readexpress.com. For the best chance of appearing, we suggest submitting at least a month before your big day.
