25 Marriage Tweeps You Should Follow
If you're on Twitter, these are the people and institutions who discuss marriage that you need to start following.

For those who follow us on Twitter (@hitchedmedia), you know how much we tweet. We recently surpassed 10,000 posts, which got us thinking, who do we look forward to tweeting with on a daily basis?

This list was difficult to put together since there are so many great marriage supporters on Twitter (stay tuned for a follow-up list in the future). To help narrow it down, we decided that only those who tweet very regularly would be considered. We also tried to include tweeps who don't just post, but also engage on Twitter.
