An Indian couple who met on Twitter decided to have a Twitter-themed ceremony during three days of wedding festivities. Sumita Dalmia met her future groom back in the year 2013 after she reached out to Anuj Patel on Twitter.
"I wanted to attend a local event at the zoo, but tickets were sold out so I decided to search Twitter," she told to ABC News of their first encounter.
"When I came across Anuj's tweet stating he had an extra ticket [to Jazzoo Atlanta], I didn't think much of it."
Dalmia, aged 28, added that she "just reached out to him asking if I could have it, but then his profile caught my attention ... Before we knew it, we were exchanging almost 75 emails in the first day of chatting!"
The couple got engaged two years later on 19th December, 2015. Of course, Patel, aged 27, proposed on Twitter and the proposal went viral.
When the tweet-hearts wed in last November at the Marriott Evergreen Resort in Atlanta in front of approximately 450 guests, they decided to use their favorite social network as a theme in their wedding festivities, which included six wedding events over three days of festivities.
The photos of their wedding have recently gotten attention online.
"Twitter is an integral part of our relationship. We wanted our wedding guests to experience our love story and understand why it is so important to our relationship. Plus, you can't deny that the little blue birds add a nice touch," noted Dalmia.

Along with having a customized wedding, the couple also had graphic designers add the Twitter logo to their seating charts and also welcome bags.
The couple also had blue-hued specialty cocktails, a cake topper and a SnapChat filter which was a nod to Twitter.
Dalmia said that her wedding guests "absolutely loved it."
The two have not gone on a honeymoon just yet and are deciding instead to save for a house first. But still, the couple plan to trek to Hawaii when the time is right.
"We are looking forward to just building a life together and starting a family," added Dalmia.
