FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THE KNOT COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF WEDDINGCHANNEL.COM

NEW YORK – September 11, 2006 – The Knot, Inc. (NASDAQ: KNOT, www.theknot.com) today announced that it has completed its acquisition of WeddingChannel.com, Inc.  Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated June 5, 2006, The Knot issued 1.15 million shares of its common stock and paid approximately $61.7 million in cash, which includes an estimated working capital adjustment of $3.8 million, in exchange for all of the capital stock and stock options of WeddingChannel.  The Knot funded the cash portion of the purchase price with cash on hand and the net proceeds of its follow-on offering of common stock completed on August 15, 2006.

“This acquisition consolidates the two leaders in the online bridal industry,” David Liu, CEO of The Knot, commented. “By uniting The Knot’s content, local resources and community with WeddingChannel’s online bridal registry services, we can deliver the most complete online wedding planning experience for our audience and offer additional advertising opportunities to marketers seeking to reach them.”

“Our advertisers are increasingly recognizing the buying power and value of our audience of couples in the “nesting” lifestage -- the five year span from proposal to pregnancy,” Mr. Liu continued. “Our continuously replenishing audience is truly a unique consumer group characterized by a predictable spending patterns, finite deadlines, and tremendous thirst for information, products and services. With weddings we are the gateway to the process, signing up over a million newly engaged couples every year who can now stay with us through becoming a first time parent via The Knot and The Nest.”
