Twitter’s Vine app prides itself on capturing small, intimate moments in zero to six second videos with one tap of your finger. It’s storytelling in a snapshot, just like Twitter with its 140 character tweet limit.
Vine did, indeed, catch one of those fleeting moments Tuesday night when Curt Buthman proposed to girlfriend Marsha Collier using the app! In six seconds, the L.A. business consultant presented her with a ring and asked her to be his bride.
Once Marsha accepted, pretty much the entire Twitterverse blew up with congratulatory tweets. While we wish them the best, Curt’s proposal also leads us to wonder how digital media will evolve to grow even more intimate. Clearly, digital media and social media networks have revolutionized the way we interact with one another, so how is it now transforming our traditional ideas of marriage and engagement?
Sound off in the comments! In the meantime, congratulations to Curt and Marsha!
