Hitched Goes Global: Hitched Ltd Extends its Global Presence With the Addition of a Further Two Countries to its Expanding Portfolio

LONDON, January 30, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Hitched Ltd has been rapidly expanding, celebrating the New Year by adding two new,
eagerly awaited wedding websites in South Africa and Canada.

    First established in 1997, http://www.hitched.co.uk is the UK's number one wedding
website. The website is the UK's leading online authority on all things wedding related,
attracting over 723,000 visits per month. The site also boasts a highly populated wedding
forum and issues a monthly newsletter to over 50,000 dedicated subscribers.

    In 2010 Hitched Ltd first expanded by launching hitched.ie in Ireland and
hitched.com.au in Australia, both of which have proved a big hit with brides across the
globe, who regularly visit the sites to access a range of planning tools and advice, all
in one central location. http://www.hitched.ie and http://www.hitched.com.au have
grown rapidly since their launch and have more recently expanded to include a wide range
of features on bridalwear as well as detailed planning articles with advice from leading,
local wedding experts.

    In December 2011, Hitched Ltd launched a further two brand new wedding sites,
http://www.hitched.co.za in South Africa and http://www.nuptales.ca in Canada.
While both sites are currently just a few weeks old, both have received a fantastic
response from their individual wedding markets and the company has ambitious plans to
expand these sites over the coming months.

    Managing Director of Hitched Ltd, Dean Yardley says: "This is an exciting time for the
business. Despite the current economic climate, the wedding industry continues to thrive,
with engaged couples still keen to achieve that perfect wedding day. Since the launch of
our UK site, we have experienced a big following from brides keen to access the range of
advice and guidance available on the site. As a result, we decided to expand the Hitched
Ltd brand globally, allowing us to provide locally specific, tailored advice to brides
across the world."

    Hitched Ltd helps couples to plan their big day, using a range of advice and expertly
developed wedding planning tools. The site is also packed full of wedding ideas and
inspirations, as well as an extensive list of wedding venues and suppliers. Visitors to
the site can access a range of planning articles as well as wedding inspiration galleries
with thousands of images; all provided to ignite the creative side of newly engaged
couples. Newlywed couples can then share their big day in the Real Weddings section, which
currently boasts over 140 weddings from across the world.
