This is not an April Fools Post but Should Be April 1, 2014

(CNN) — Sure, the wedding was stunning. The doves were released on cue, you didn’t stumble on your vows, and your aunt Caroline stayed sober until after the toasts. But something was off: Your special day didn’t play as well on social media as you were hoping.

Where were all the RTs for that hilarious bouquet-catching Vine? Why didn’t anyone Instagram the handmade Mason-jar floral arrangements in the restrooms? And only 10 likes for the first blurry picture of the new couple? Please.

The W hotel chain is here to help. For a mere $3,000, couples getting hitched at any of the four W hotels in New York can hire their very own “social media wedding concierge” to make sure every moment of their special day is properly immortalized in tweets, Instagrams and Facebook posts.

This concierge will be involved with the wedding from the very beginning, acting as an amateur Instagram-ographer, documenting bits of the planning process such as cake tasting and dress shopping. He or she will even help create inspirational Pinterest boards.

On the wedding day, the concierge will live-tweet and Instagram the entire affair. They’ll make sure your guests all use the same hashtag while posting from their phones during the ceremony and reception. (Is there anything more embarrassing than sloppy cousins using #ashleyandbrock instead of #ashleyandbrockforever?)

When it’s over, the hotel will compile the best posts into a book.
