A recent New York Magazine?article "When The Engagement Gets Its Own Photo" by Chole Anygal addresses the scary side of Facebook, more specifically, Engagement Sundays.
You know, when you sign on to Facebook Sunday morning and there's a new engagment alert on your homepage that never seems to go away. And it's not just there, above the reminder about your long-lost friend from middle school's birthday. It's in the statuses congratulating the couple, in the relationship story that Facebook creates, chronicling the couple's interactions over the course of Facebook, and lastly, in that picture of the ring that has hundreds of likes and comments.
It's everywhere, and it's all your newsfeed can talk about.
"Still, the focus on the ring ? not the couple, not even the bride ? is approaching fetish-levels of fixation, and Facebook is only fueling the fire," says Angyal.
While engagement rings certainly take the spotlight (and in some cases, a bride-to-be's cover photo) when the couple makes their modern day wedding announcement via the social network, it's not only the duos to be married who are participating in the oversharing trend. What about the other people in relationships ? dating and already married? Facebook is becoming relationship-obsessed.
