WeddingWire and Minds + Machines Say 'I Do' to a '.Wedding' Partnership

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 opportunity to navigate the planning process in a unique, organized way - from education to inspiration."
