QUOTES

"It has been a wild trip going from 4 guys working away in a 200 square foot attic making enough money in a day to buy dinner, wondering if this site would ever catch hold, to now supporting over half a million visitors a month and almost 20 employees. The key to our success, besides being in the right business at the right time, has truly been our family of employees. They believe in our brand as much as the owners and take just as much pride in our end product." said Rob Johnsen, co-founder of mywedding.com.
