Brides.com and the Rink at Rockefeller Center Launch 'Engagement on Ice' Video Voting Contest

NEW YORK, Dec. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting today, Brides.com visitors can enjoy eleven "Engagement on Ice" proposal videos on http://www.brides.com/engagementonice. The Video Voting Vacation Giveaway allows Brides.com visitors to view all marriage proposals from the Rink at Rockefeller Center and choose their favorite. Then voters can choose which of 6 Sandals honeymoons is perfect for their favorite couple, and be entered for a chance to win their own getaway from Sandals Resorts. Visitors can vote once a day until the contest closes on January 31, 2008. The winning "Engagement on Ice" couple will be determined based on the total number of online votes received. The winning voter will be selected randomly; both winners will be announced in February, 2008.

"Engagement on Ice" is a program which allows prospective grooms to plan their wedding proposals on the center ice at Rockefeller Center, giving them the rink to themselves for the special moment. All "Engagement on Ice" proposal videos were shot by Brides.com from November 29 - December 2, 2007; the couples are from all around the United States. The Brides.com footage of the "Engagement on Ice" proposals gives couples the opportunity to visually share their news with friends, family and other future brides and grooms.

The "Engagement on Ice" package, which runs until the Rink's season closes in April, ensures that everything is smoothly in place for the big moment. It offers front-of-the-line access so the lucky couple can head straight onto the ice for a romantic spin around the Rink. As the session ends, the other skaters disappear, leaving the couple alone on the ice. 'Their song' begins to play, setting the scene for the perfect proposal. Once she says 'yes,' The Rink staff can deliver a bouquet to the newly affianced couple before the couple takes one last "victory" lap around the ice. A celebratory champagne toast completes the experience, where each couple is presented with an exclusive Brides.com gift bag valued at over $500.
