COLUMBUS, Ind. — Brides who are planning a trip down the aisle this year or next will want to make a planning stop at the 2023 Republic Bridal Show Sunday at The Commons, 300 Washington St.

The show, from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, will have its first special event at 1:30 p.m. with a cake tasting opportunity from Original Party Mart and Sweet Escape Cake Co.
