Having spent the last 18 months as Shopping Editor at Shop ‘Til You Drop, where she read her weight in ‘figure fixer’ books and saw everything (seriously, everything) the Australian market has to offer, Alex’s mission is to keep Knotties updated with all the latest styles and fashion ideas, ensuring the perfect wedding look for you can be found on The Knot ‘wedsite’ – from the dress down to the lingerie, whatever your shape, size or budget.

Carley Roney
Cofounder and Editor In Chief, The Knot Inc.

Motivated by the excruciating process of planning her own wedding, Carley Roney made it her mission to find a fun, hip, user-generated resource for couples planning their weddings. The wedding world was in dire need for a new voice, and the web was the perfect place to break ground. In 1996, Roney founded TheKnot.com with her husband (CEO of The Knot Inc., David Liu) and two other business partners.
The Knot has since transformed the wedding landscape as the leading wedding resource and most-trafficked online wedding destination with over 3.4 million unique visitors a month and more than 125 million monthly page views.
