Publicly declare your commitment to hosting a stylish wedding soiree with today’s side deal: for $10, you get admission to Wedology 101: The Reality of Being a Bride (a $20 value) on Sunday, August 15, from 1 p.m.–5 p.m. at Wyndham Virginia Crossings in Glen Allen.

Wedology 101 is a one-day seminar that will give brides-to-be an honest, no-nonsense look at the trials and tribulations that go into planning and pulling off a successful wedding. Professional wedding planners Jennifer McBride and Meghan Ely, with experience planning more than 700 weddings between the two of them, share tips on handling high-drama bridesmaids, negotiating the needs of two sets of families, and navigating the murky waters of undefined etiquette. A panel of wedding experts will be on hand to offer advice, with a post-seminar cocktail reception showcasing the latest trends in wedding lighting, linens, and more. You’ll walk away with information that's alternately old, new, borrowed, and blue.

Please arrive 30 minutes early to the event for registration.
