OUR STORY<\/h2>\n

Our story begins when entrepreneurs Charles Eide and Mike Danielson started a wedding videography company called Forever Films. As their business grew, so did their families. So, to spend more time with their wives and children, they sold Forever Films in 2010 to start something new!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"owners_of_forever_bride_minneapolis_eidecom.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With a passion for filming and all things wedding, Charles and Mike began making videos for their friends in the industry and created a YouTube channel<\/a> called Forever TV. <\/p>\n

In 2011, they met Ashley Hawks while filming a segment at her mother’s bridal shop, Mary Kay’s Bridal. Her drive, creativity, and love for the wedding industry was what they needed to take Forever TV to the next level. <\/p>\n

As the company grew, the brand evolved into Forever Bride. The word forever was kept to represent strong, long-lasting, beautiful marriages. <\/p>\n

Forever Bride is now one of the top online communities for wedding planning and inspiration. Follow Forever Bride on Instagram<\/a> for the latest trends, behind the scenes looks, and advice from the best in the industry. <\/p>\n
