Print- ed in the USA. akron/canton Let’s get married in ® WEDDING SHOWS 2019 H Being engaged is supposed to be one of the most ex- citing phases in your life. But we know that sometimes planning your wedding can get a bit stressful. That’s why my wife and I started Today’s Bride 29 years ago. When planning our own wedding, we realized that there were a lack of resources to find inspiration and vendors in Northeast Ohio. Though our format and de- sign has drastically changed over the years, our mis- sion has stayed the same: to make wedding planning easier for engaged couples. With this edition, we’ve structured each section in order, based on your planning timeline: Green for 12+ months Pink for 8-12 months Orange for 3-8 months Blue for 0-3 months Our hope is that you’ll take advantage of every resource in these pages to make your wedding dreams come true. Though the checklists and articles are helpful, the amaz- ing experts inside each page are who you’ll rely on to get you through this exciting and overwhelming time. From all of us here at Today’s Bride, Congratulations on your engagement, and happy planning!
