It’s been a big year for the world, and for social media alike. The World Cup, Sochi Olympics, iPhone 6 announcement, death of Robin Williams and missing Malaysia Flight 370 attracted significant attention on Twitter, Facebook and, social media at large. Social media today is increasingly used as a way to rally communities around common causes to inspire change. This year, everything from the Ukrainian Crisis to the Ferguson jury decision has triggered enormous social and global conversation, something that just wasn’t possible even a decade ago.

Support meaningful interactions: the number one reason why social media is thriving on a narrow scale.
Couples talk to others about their wedding questions, dilemmas and options to get feedback. Having extra opinions outside of immediate family and friends is a good avenue for couples that don’t necessarily want to share all of the details of their day in advance. Couples like to post their speeches, pictures and ideas, or weigh in with their opinions on other members’ weddings.
