After months of watching the downward spiral of media company, Get Married, sources are confirming the closure of the company in December. eWedNewz first reported the company owned by the Taylor Corporation was a vehicle to sell advertising to vendors while selling products direct to their consumers in 2010.

After a stellar beginning five years ago, Get Married becomes the latest casualty in the wedding business.

eWedNewz is gathering more details as they become available but has learned the company shed key management and employees over the past several months while denying any weaknesses or hints of a closure. Reports say it’s been business as usual trying to sell ad space to advertisers that are now stunned at the news of a shutdown.

Further details will be covered later in the day.
