Real Weddings Magazine is looking for articles relevant to engaged couples. The wedding articles should be between 750-900 words in length, and need to be first-person stories about some aspect of your wedding that stands out in memory and is story-worthy, something that would make readers laugh, cry or identify.
They do NOT want a retelling of the actual wedding, UNLESS there is a particularly story-worthy angle to it. Rather, this piece will focus on a tangent related to the wedding, something that made you pause and reflect, or brought home some significant meaning.
The bridal magazine has included some links people can read before submitting their articles, so as to get a better idea of the kinds of stories they are are looking for.
