Hashtag Hell: #SomethingCatchy #GottaBeUnique #ThisSucks

March 23, 2017byRothman

It’s ridiculous when I acknowledge the fact that the first hurdle I tried to jump was nailing down our wedding hashtag. I just knew we wanted the hashtag to match the website and I knew that once we had that it would somehow seem more real. To make things more difficult, I was really hung up on Germain and his now-wife Jayne’s excellent play on the #meant2b tag: #JandGmeant2b.

#RandTmeant2b (a death knoll for my creative reputation).

So, I turned to Wedding Wire’s generator.

#RobinlovesTaran (Indeed, but vague)
#TaranWedsRobin (True, but on the nose)
#RothmanandLopezGetHitched (True, but boring)
#tandrSayIDo (We do, but boring)
#TheLophmans (LOL!)
#BonVoyageRobinandTaran (Pleasant, but inaccurate)
#AdiosRothman (Ominous!)
#LopezandRothmanForPresident (Wait, what?)
#AllAboutTheLopezes (It’s really not)
#theLopezes (You have no idea)
#HappyToBeALopez (No name change)
#LopezItUp (I said, no name change!)
#CheerstotheLopezes (This is ridiculous…ly misogynistic since they assume I’m marrying a man and taking his name.)

So it was totally up to us. A (shower generated) brainstorm list ensued including variations of wedding, marriage, nuptials, hitched, vows, i do, tie the knot, as well as Robin and Taran and our portmanteau Ropez.
