My Wife and My Wedding Hashtag Story When my wife told I needed a wedding hashtag, I thought ‘this is going to be easy’. So I Googled hashtag generators . Both of us having Punjabi names, this wasn’t as easy at all. The generator gave us names like

For example, my wife and I decided to use my first name, her first name, and my last name, to craft our hashtag.

Come up with a list of words that rhyme with the name(s) you choose in the tip above. Then pick the words that you are willing to use.

For example, if the groom’s last name is Gill, and you both love memes and Netflix, you can use #NetflixAndGill (a play on Netflix and Chill).

Pick themes that represent your and your partner’s interests – Themes could be related to common taste in music, movies, food, the place where you met, and many other ideas.

For example, if the groom’s last name is Gill, and you both love Bollywood movies, you could do #GillTohPagalHai.

Try finding puns or plays on words. This is a great option for cases where rhyming isn’t working for you, see if any of your names can be used as a play on words.

For example, if the groom’s last name is Siddiqui, then you could do #TheSiddiquiToHerHeart (a play on “The Key to her Heart”).
