The sites allow couples to post information about how they met, display photos, provide details on the wedding and track RSVPs.

Earliest Citation:

But the wedding was a victim of its own pre-publicity. So many thousands of people tried to access the site that it became permanently engaged. Eventually the line was restored, but by then the media in Istanbul headed to the ballroom for real-life pictures of Handan and Sam.

Back on the Net, the 'Wed' site has pages of photos of the bride and groom.
