Description Weddings
Wedding announcements should be submitted within six months from the date of the ceremony. Announcements received after six months will be published in an abbreviated form without a photo. Wedding information must be at the Parkersburg News Society Department no later than 4 p.m. Monday preceding the Sunday it is to run. If more announcements are received than space permits, as many will be printed as possible with others appearing in a future edition of The News.
All articles will be edited to conform to newspaper style.
Do not use abbreviations. Include town and state on all address information. Be as descriptive as possible and only list friends or family members who have made a significant contribution to your ceremony and their relationship to the couple. (Example: Mary Roberts, friend of the bride.)
Please do not include created titles without giving a full and detailed explanation. (Example: Wishing to incorporate the groom's children in the ceremony, they were given the distinctions "Junior Bride and Junior Groom."
To have your photograph published in color, please arrange $25 payment before publication. Black and white photographs are published for free. Both can be uploaded from the next page of the Virtual Newsroom.
Poor quality photographs will not be accepted. Photographs may be picked up after the announcement runs in the paper, or may be mailed back if a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) is provided.
