A UNITY MEDIA GROUP PUBLICATION 201-850-1300 Visit www.vuenj.com for our exclusive blog. December 22, 2018 was one of the happiest days of my life. On this day, I brought my future wife to the Rockefeller Center Ice Rink, where I got down on one knee in front of thousands! With omas Rhett's "Die a Happy Man" playing in the background, I asked my now fiancé to marry me. (Luckily she said yes!) I'll be honest, quite a bit of this issue's inspiration came from my recent engagement. Going through such an amazing chapter of life has made it so exciting to work on our very first bridal issue. As you can imagine, my fiancé has already started looking at dresses, shopping venues, and everything in between! is has made putting this issue together that much more satisfying for both her and I. In this issue we've highlighted leading dress designers like Galia Lahav, Berta and Lee Petra Grebenau; exotic wedding destinations such as Maui's Haiku Mill and California's Santa Lucia Preserve; and of course, the best honeymoon getaways for you and your spouse curated by Naya Traveler. And while our bridal section features the industry's best, the rest of VUE is also filled with luxury content including everything from fashion and design to travel and dining. I invite you to enjoy the first-ever bridal issue of VUE Magazine. It's time to get inspired and say "I do" as you uncover the best of the wedding world as we know it. Cheers!
