Surprisingly, not all users that received the email even had a wedding board on the site:
Funny story.... Pinterest thinks I'm getting married... And I don even have a wedding board... pic.twitter.com/DFZDZXCH1i — Adrienne McKinney (@Adrienne_Faith) September 3, 2014
And then, of course, there's the Pinterest users who actually are getting married, but didn't get a congratulatory email from Pinterest:
I didn't get one and I AM. Pinterest send congrats emails to people who aren't getting married. https://t.co/j7hBntARYp @marketingland — Tara Crum (@Tarakins7) September 5, 2014
However, Pinterest did apologize, releasing the following statement to New York Magazine:
"Every week, we email collections of category-specific pins and boards to pinners we hope will be interested in them. Unfortunately, one of these recent emails suggested that pinners were actually getting married, rather than just potentially interested in wedding-related content. We're sorry we came off like an overbearing mother who is always asking when you'll find a nice boy or girl."
