Five years ago this very week we launched the very first issue of Salt Lake/Park City Bride & Groom magazine.

The concept for the publication—a modern wedding magazine for the Wasatch that followed in the footsteps of our Portland and Seattle predecessors: with a focus on fashion, style, and all things good taste, plus the very best local weddings and vendors—was born in January 2011. After seven months of getting the word out, dreaming up editorial shoots, collaborating with vendors, writing articles, fact-checking and copy editing every last detail and word, not to mention many laaaaate nights and copious cups of coffee (and wine), we finally debuted our premier issue that July.

Flash forward half a decade, and this week we welcomed our Summer/Fall 2016 issue to local newsstands—the 11th edition of SLPCBG we've produced. To celebrate our 5th anniversary, and the release of our fresh ink, we're giving away five copies of our new issue!

To Enter:

• Follow us on Instagram
• Tag four of your friends (besties, brides-to-be, sisters, coworkers, you name it) in a comment on this post.
• We'll randomly select the winners, and announce them on Monday, 7/11. Easy as pie!

It's been a helluva beautiful ride the past five years, and we can't wait to see what the next five bring. We're sending virtual hugs and heartfelt thank-you's to our readers and to the many creatives and vendors who've contributed to our pages over the years. Cheers to you, and cheers to us. Clink, clink!
