From the GBG Office...
GBGs Little Helper

This issue, we thought you'd like an inside look at the GBG office. We just moved into our new digs, and have recruited some extra help. Here's Cooper, son of  Content Director Stephanie, cleaning and caring for our office plant.

It's been so much fun for us to set up shop with some great finds, like the cool red chair that Kate discovered on craigslist.

Obsessed with the Dress
SmartBride logo

Our friends over at SmartBride are having a hilarious photo contest! The Obsessed with the Dress Photo Contest is so much fun, we're not sure how Kate and the other judges will ever choose the winners. Here's the idea:

Where's the strangest place you've ever seen or been a bride? Start digging up photos of yourself, a friend, or even some random bride on the street - we don't really care who it is as long as it's weird, wacky, funny, cute or surprising.

Read more about the contest, including the fantastic prizes, and send in your photos now! And while you're over at SmartBride, check out the hysterical tongue-in-cheek Obsessed with the Dress videos.
Upcoming Bridal Shows
We hope to meet some of you at these events. GBG will have a table, and Kate will be signing books. See you there!
