My boyfriend recently proposed to me. He kept it a secret for 2 months, my parents knew, his parents knew and…Facebook.
When our relationship hit the 2 year mark, Facebook was giving me more nuptial pressure than my 90-year-old grandmother. 
Every day, my Facebook pages were inundated with ads relating to engagement rings, engagement 101 magazine and blogs “to help ease that ever-present pressure to wed.”
The visual evidence of Facebook’s targeting capabilities was intriguing, so I started doing screen captures of the ads.
It’s ironic that a recent blog post I wrote was about my dislike for PDR (public display of rings) via Facebook pictures. I still feel that way, regardless of the fact that I am now starting to “like” all of the bride to be fan pages. However, you will never see an album on my page titled, “The Ring” with 42 pictures detailing all the intricate angles and facets of my engagement ring.
My boyfriend’s fiancé’s proposal was completely unexpected but Facebook was prepared. When I changed my status from, “in a relationship” to “engaged” my ads went from pressure to stress. According to Facebook, the day I got engaged, I was already behind in planning my wedding.
