About Offbeat Bride
Offbeat Bride is the friendliest place on the web for couples who are daring to walk off the beaten aisle. What began as a book (Offbeat Bride: Taffeta-Free Alternatives for Independent Brides; Seal Press, 2007) has grown into an online magazine and community, becoming the top destination for nontraditional wedding planning. Offbeatbride.com is updated five days a week with photos, stories, advice, tools, and nontraditional cheerleading from Seattle author Ariel Meadow Stallings. Focused on entertaining and empowering content, Offbeat Bride wants to hold your hand and help you stave off that impending bridentity crisis. Doesn't matter if you're goth or gay, punk or prim, hippie or Harvard grad, rockabilly or raver, Jewish or Pagan, square or streampunk ... as long as you're looking to create a wedding that's a true authentic expression of you and your partner, Offbeat Bride is here for you.
About Nearlyweds!
Getting Married does rock. We really believe that here. Finding someone who you truly love and want to spend your life with, and make a life with, is at once both exhilirating and calming. And a ton of fun! To us, the best thing about a great relationship and a great marriage is that it enables and challenges you to be who you really are, to be authentic.
So when we thought about what we'd want in a web site for a couple preparing to marry, it came down to making something that lets the couple show who they really are. And since the web is a great way to interact with people near and far, and doing so amidst the hustle and bustle of life (not to mention wedding planning!) is often challenging, we wanted to make something as interactive and communal as possible. A site that looks great and is personalized to represent you.
We've created and are continually working to create something that we would want to use, and something our friends would want to use. Sure, other companies provide similar services, but none that we found particularly compelling, or truly cool. Hopefully you'll find Nearlyweds! to be both fun and useful - and we really hope you'll let us know if you do or don't by dropping us a line.
Congratulations on your commitment, Nearlyweds! Love rocks, and so does getting married.
