Brides Decide!

BridesDecide.com is a new concept site developed by the folks at Wedding Channel and The Knot. It's a unique way to get the word out about the 2008 election and do it in style. It's a forum of free speech and it's meant for all parties (no, not bridal parties, political ones)...

Why? Because it isn't ALL about our weddings...plan for the kids the future too!

The purpose of the site is to encourage engaged women and new brides to get engaged in the 2008 presidential election. With this relevant spin, Brides Decide helps women compare the presidential candidates and issues, talk politics with other women, find voting information, and even see real wedding photos and stories of the presidential candidates.

Our favorite photo?

Here's the official 411 on BridesDecide.com:

Compare the Presidential Candidates & Issues — Pro-choice or pro-life? Supports the war in Iraq or not? Find out how candidates measure up on big issues by selecting up to three candidates from the homepage and then clicking the “compare candidates” button. You can also compare where candidates stand on specific issues ranging from immigration and abortion to health care and education.
