LOS ANGELES, July 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Minds + Machines (LSE:MMX), the publicly quoted owner and
operator of Internet top-level domains, is delighted to announce
that WeddingWire, the wedding industry's leading global online
marketplace, has joined Minds + Machines as the latest
'.wedding' pioneer. As the wedding industry's most
influential platform with over 5 million unique visits per month,
WeddingWire has registered a portfolio of forty
'.wedding' domains that will expand their brand and
services online.
Amongst their portfolio, WeddingWire has secured valuable, short
and memorable wedding-specific premium domains. Furthermore,
WeddingWire will create three brand new interactive websites with
their new .wedding domain extensions. The content-based
portals will be designed not only to inspire couples and help them
plan, but also to help further educate wedding professionals about
industry trends.
Antony Van Couvering, CEO of
Minds + Machines, says, "WeddingWire not only sees the value of
building a larger digital footprint on the web, but also
understands the importance of having short and memorable generic
top-level domains, regardless of how successful a corporation
already is. I am excited to see these websites grow and become the
leading sites in the .wedding web space."
"We are thrilled to begin a new era of wedding websites with the
domain name that expresses exactly what we represent and have
passion for," said Sonny Ganguly,
CMO, WeddingWire. "Having multiple .wedding domains enables
us to provide couples and wedding professionals with the
