         The Knot and Macy's Engaged in Registry Relationship

      NEW! Lifestyle Service Gives Engaged Couples a Quick, Fun,
               Personalized Approach to Wedding Registry


    NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 12, 2007--The Knot Inc. (NASDAQ:
KNOT), a leading lifestage media company and #1 wedding Web site and
Macy's Wedding & Gift Registry announced today that they have signed a
two- year agreement making Macy's the exclusive retail partner
providing products on TheKnot.com registry.

    Through this partnership, The Knot and Macy's have launched The
Lifestyle Registry, a unique registry tool located on TheKnot.com,
designed to help couples jump-start the overwhelming process of
crafting the perfect wedding registry.

    The tool includes a short, interactive quiz that allows couples to
define their personal style within six different characteristics (the
Happy Hipster, the Jet-Setters, the All-American Dreamers, the True
Romantics, the Independent Spirits, and the Connoisseurs) in an effort
to make registering easy - and a bit more fun!

    The Knot team of style experts have handpicked best-in-class
products from Macy's unparalleled selection of top-name brands. The
results include hip, coordinated designs for every lifestyle featuring
preselected registry items.

    The Happy Hipsters registry includes the Cuisinart Smartpower
Blender for the perfect Margarita and Kate Spade "June Lane"
Dinnerware for stylish entertaining, while the True Romantics registry
includes Lenox "Vintage Jewel" Flatware to help impress guests, and
Ralph Lauren Bedding with 400-thread-count sheets. The Lifestyle
Registry provides today's modern couple with the practical products
(with suggested quantities) they need, all with the convenience of a
one-stop-shopping experience.

    "The Knot remains committed to providing innovative tools that
make planning a wedding and its surrounding events easier for millions
of couples across the world," said David Liu, CEO of The Knot. "We are
thrilled about our partnership with Macy's Wedding & Gift Registry
that will now allow us to deliver our audience the most customized
registry service dedicated to their lifestyle needs."

    "The Lifestyle Registry provided by The Knot and Macy's Wedding &
Gift Registry is designed to not only help couples explore who they
are, but help determine how they will build a life and a home
together," said Susan Bertelsen, SVP of Macy's Bridal. "We are excited
to provide couples with online convenience, expertise, and the same
quality brands as our national retail stores."

    The Knot also announced that Peter Sachse, chairman and CEO of
Macy's.com has stepped down from the Board of Directors of The Knot.
In October 2006, Mr. Sachse was elected to The Knot Board as a
representative of Federated Department Stores. Mr. Sachse will
continue to be Federated's representative to attend meetings of The
Knot's Board as an observer.
