“Bodas USA La Revista(TM) will hit the newsstands and retail stores on January 2008 throughout California with a cover price of $4.99 and via subscriptions on its website www.bodasusa.com. The initial circulation is slated for 15,000 copies for its premiere issue and 30,000 copies for the June and December 2008 issues. Thereafter the 104 plus pages magazine, gloss cover and perfect bound will circulate biannually.

“For the first-time brides and grooms to be that are monolingual or that are bilingual will have access to a Spanish-language brides magazine that is relevant to their culture and their language, and that is our motto: Your Wedding, Your Culture, Your Language,” said publisher Lilian de la Torre-Jimenez, a former senior newspaper reporter, editor and magazine writer.

Each edition will also be available as a digital magazine via Nxtbook Media. To view the 16 page demo please go to www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/jimenez/bodasusa-nxtd/ “We invite everybody to view our digital demo, where we provide the line-up of our talented contributors, a preview of our content pages and four sample stories,” said De La Torre-Jimenez.

“Our cover story reflects that of many Latinos, a true love story and two successful individuals,” added De La Torre-Jimenez about Univision host Argelia Atilano and husband Omar Velasco, both lead the popular morning radio show “El Show de Omar & Argelia” on Univision Radio K-LOVE 107.5 FM.

“The Latino weddings featured in our premiere issue will definitely shed a light on the bride and groom as an important consumer, it will showcase that Latinos “Tiran la Casa por la Ventana” or the equivalent of “no expense spared” when celebrating a wedding. We want to guide the couple in planning their wedding but we also want to empower them with columns on relationships, nutrition and finance so they can plan a successful life together and with their families,” said De La Torre-Jimenez.

“Our editorial team is made up of Latino professionals who are experts in wedding planning, cuisine, travel, relationships, nutrition, entertainment, photography and in many more areas, but most importantly our stories are not translations but rather written in Spanish with a cultural touch that only Latinos can relate to,” said Bodas USA La Revista(TM) editor Katia Ramirez-Blankley, former editor of La Opinión, the largest Spanish-language in the nation. “We are happy to be part of the Latino wedding celebration.”
