In August of 1989, inspired by their own recent marriage, Jim and Denise Frericks started Jadlyn Wedding Consultants to aid fill the need for knowledgeable wedding planners in the Akron/Canton area. In September of 1990, they had grown enough to incorporate, becoming Jadlyn Incorporated. Contact with local brides and bridal-related merchants led them to realize a greater need for a local informational resource for engaged couples. Thus, Today's Bride Magazine and Bridal Shows were born.
