GetMarried.com Launches America's Top Bride Contest

ATLANTA, Oct. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- GetMarried.com makes it super-simple for brides (and voters!) to win big with a fun contest that's easy to enter. Starting October 10 through December 12, 2011, we're asking the question "What makes you America's Top Bride?" Brides then create a short profile on www.GetMarried.com/americas-top-bride, including their "5,000-dollar" answer, and use their social media networks to get friends and family to vote. (The contest is designed so that ballots can be shared virally via Twitter and Facebook.) The bride with the most votes wins! This contest is open to both currently engaged and recently married brides.

That's not all! Voters, who are allowed to vote once a day, also have a chance to win a great prize. Chosen at random throughout the nine weeks of the contest, six voters win $500 gift cards to Michaels. The more you vote before the December 12 deadline, the better your chances of winning!

"We are thrilled to host a contest that rewards a very deserving bride, and thought it would be fun to open it up to the entire GetMarried.com community to lead the voting and ultimately decide who wins," says Karina Timmel, editor-in-chief, Get Married magazine.
