05-08-2007 - mywedding.com and Warner Bros. Pictures Tie the Knot

Seattle, WA May 8, 2007 — mywedding.com is proud to announce that it is the exclusive online wedding guide promotional partner for Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Village Roadshow Pictures’ new comedy “License to Wed,” starring Robin Williams, Mandy Moore and John Krasinski. The film opens nationwide on Wednesday, July 4.

“This promotional partnership around ‘License to Wed’ is a natural fit for us as our community of brides and grooms continues to grow,” said Rob Johnsen, CFO of mywedding.com. “We’re excited about the opportunity to give back to our loyal users through contests and promotions, and look forward to growing this aspect of our site.”

From now through May 31st, couples may visit www.mywedding.com and enter to win a trip for two to the Hollywood premiere of “License to Wed.” Winners will be announced on June 1st, and will attend the premiere on June 25th.

“This summer, as couples across the country take their first steps towards a happy union, many will realize that getting married involves more than simply finding a delicious cake and the perfect DJ,” said Nicole Kraft, editor for mywedding.com. “We encourage couples to explore such big-picture questions as ‘Do our ideas about spending and saving mesh?’ and ‘How are we going to divvy up the household chores?’ mywedding.com offers a vast resource of wedding and marriage tips for both men and women that are designed to prepare them for a lifetime of commitment.”

“License to Wed” follows newly engaged Ben Murphy (John Krasinski) and his fiancée, Sadie Jones (Mandy Moore), in their quest to live happily ever after. The problem is that Sadie’s family church, St. Augustine’s, is run by Reverend Frank (Robin Williams), who won’t bless Ben and Sadie’s union until they pass his patented, “foolproof” marriage-prep course. Consisting of outrageous classes, outlandish homework assignments and some outright invasion of privacy, Reverend Frank’s rigorous curriculum puts Ben and Sadie’s relationship to the test. Forget happily ever after—do they even have what it takes to make it to the altar?

Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Village Roadshow Pictures, a Robert Simonds/Phoenix Pictures production of a Ken Kwapis film, “License To Wed.” The film stars Robin Williams, Mandy Moore, John Krasinski, Christine Taylor, Eric Christian Olsen and Josh Flitter.
