Wedding Dash's fast-paced game play gives brides-to-be an opportunity to prepare for their big day while playing this whirlwind wedding-planning adventure. Wedding Dash is the fifth title developed and published by Glu through collaboration with PlayFirst, Inc.

"We are thrilled to ring in the wedding season with Wedding Dash, our latest title developed and published for mobile through our partnership with PlayFirst," said Jill Braff, senior vice president of global publishing, Glu. "Wedding Dash couples fast-paced, engaging game play with a humorous storyline and charming cast of characters to create a game that people everywhere will enjoy, whether they are planning a wedding or not."
