ATLANTA, January 19, 2010 - In the midst of prime engagement season, Get Married magazine hits newsstands nationwide, filling the void for brides seeking a fresh voice in bridal trends and shopping. For brides who have yet to experience the new shopping and wedding trend guide, Get Married — a tri-media wedding lifestyle resource — is offering a single free issue of Get Married magazine as a one-time special offer.

The January issue highlights 2010's best bridal trends, while giving brides an interactive guide for wedding shopping. With URLs featured alongside every product and as the first bridal publication to use Microsoft Tag, Get Married magazine enables brides to instantly shop and explore its vast selection of stylish wedding products. In an effort to streamline brides' shopping experience, nearly 80 percent of the magazine products are available in its online wedding shop (shop.getmarried.com), including free samples of wedding invitations.

“Get Married magazine keeps it real for brides. With an all-things-possible attitude and a down-to-earth point of view, the magazine showcases a diverse selection of unique ‘real bride' stories while offering accessibility to its trendy and affordable wedding product assortment,” said Stacie Francombe, CEO and founder of Get Married Media. “We not only offer brides the latest bridal trends, we let them know exactly where to buy the very things that inspire them.”

In addition to gorgeous real brides' weddings, the January issue of Get Married magazine showcases celebrity brides and star wedding experts who offer insight into what's hot in bridal fashion, designs and food:
