WeddingWire Kicks-Off Second Annual #justsaidyes Campaign with Dancing with the Stars Champion Shawn Johnson

CHEVY CHASE, Md., Nov. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- WeddingWire, the global leader for online wedding planning, today launched its second annual #justsaidyes campaign during the most popular time of year for engagements,"Engagement Season." Shawn Johnson, the recently-engaged Olympic Gold Medalist, "Dancing with the Stars" champion, and ESPY Award Winner, joins the campaign as she plans her own big day and inspires other couples to share their own special engagement celebrations.

"I'm thrilled to be partnering with WeddingWire to launch their #justsaidyes campaign!" said Shawn Johnson. "Andrew's proposal was so special and I was overwhelmed with happiness-- but the moment flew by in an instant!
