"The holiday season traditionally attracts more proposals than any other time of the year," says OneWed VP of Marketing Jennifer Napier. "As soon as these couples get engaged, they are anxious and excited to start researching for wedding dresses, venues, wedding vendors, honeymoon locales, and everything in between. OneWed knows that January 4th is a pivotal day for online research and we're ready to help as their ultimate wedding resource."

To celebrate the whirlwind of wedding planning activities, OneWed.com is thrilled to treat brides-to-be with a special wedding giveaway, with a grand prize featuring items that typically aren't included in traditional wedding budgeting charts. The "Off-the-Chart" Wedding Giveaway, running through the month of January, provides future brides with the opportunity to win approximately $15,000 worth of wedding essentials like a honeymoon from Sandals Resorts, wedding bands from Whiteflash.com, dresses from The Dessy Group, and many more wedding essentials. Brides can automatically enter by simply creating their own Wedding Pre-Party, OneWed's social wedding planning tools and platform connecting the couple, wedding party, wedding guests and vendors.

Just in time for Matrimony Monday, OneWed is excited to launch several new offerings:

    --  Wedding Websites: New free wedding websites that can be easily
        customized and personalized to reflect any couple's personality and
        their specific needs for information sharing.
    --  Wedding Flowers: A partnership with Weddings by FlowerPetal that brings
        bridal and bridesmaid bouquets, centerpieces, corsages and boutonnieres
        direct to brides or their venues. With OneWed and Weddings by
        FlowerPetal, couples can browse hundreds of wedding flowers and styles,
        purchase online, and ship directly to you and your venue.
    --  Wedding Venues: A partnership with VFM Leonardo, a technology leader in
        online visual content management and distribution for the hotel
        industry, offers couples access to photos, videos and virtual tours of
