Welcome to Blog Brides 9

Thanks for stopping by BlogBrides 9.

I started this blog three years ago when I wrote a column called Marriage & Money. Now I continue help couples stay under budget for their weddings, as well as teach them basic personal finance tips, so that their marriage can have a great fiscal start. But this blog is designed for all things bridal. Not just finance. So stick around. If you know of any bridal expos coming to town, or any new products, let me know. If you are a bridal blogger and would love to contribute to this site, let me know. Also brides, scroll down to the bottom to peruse our bridal shop.

Thanks,
Dee
