Just wanted some other people's thoughts on this video that shows the bride and groom actually pulling out a cellphone during their vows to update their Facebook and Twitter status?! Seems awkward and I bet most of the older guests thought it was rude. Thoughts?

Wow. Yeah, I love Twitter, but that's ridiculous. That's up there with woman posting to Facebook that they're in labor. Random people on Facebook DO NOT need to know you're having contractions!
If this was just meant to be funny, it was pretty darn funny! Hopefully the older generation understood the humor.
I just hope it doesn't become a trend. :P
if my hubby did that I'd be so annoyed, but hopefully it was supposed to be funny!
during a religious ceremony though, like mine, do not think it is appropriate at all
... I think... it's overkill. I mean... twiter and facebook are fun and all, but come ON!!!
I would personally find this pretty tacky, but I guess whatever works for them + their guests.

It appears to me that they were trying to be funny by the way the groom gestures to the guests like wait one second. But honestly I think they ruined a very special moment for themselves. They could have turned after the ceremony and pulled out their phones and gotten a cute response similiar to doing a cute dance down the asile but this goes too far IMO.
I agree that it was probably supposed to be funny. But I have to bet the older generation didn't get it. I can't even explain Twitter to my parents or boss, let alone a grandparent. ^_^
hahaha wow. talk about taking our technology obsessed generation to a new level!
Wow really? I didnt update FB til the day after I would never pull out my cell during the vows!
Sounds like I'm in the minority here but I thought it was hilarious. I don't know the couple, but the impression I got was it was very "them". Maybe they met on facebook and it has a special meaning to them or maybe the groom was just so overjoyed that he wanted to share his news with the world, either way their guests seem to get quite a laugh out of it. Now I'm not saying I hope this becomes the new trend, but I am all for couples making their wedding their own.
At first, I thought, TACKY! But when I watched it i thought it was cute, and memorable for the guest. Most ceremonies are sooo boring!
At my friends ceremony the pastor read aloud the first conversation the couple had ever had, and it was through facebook. Very cute, and funny.

^^I totally agree
It seems like it was completely planned out. I wouldn't do anything like that at my wedding, but it was pretty funny
My fiance WORKS for Twitter, and he would never do anything like that! I'd probably kick him :)
At first I was like...wha?! Technology is too much!
But it looks like this couple planned it and it was kind of a joke. Definitely not my style for the ceremony..but at least it was for entertainment!
i wouldn't do that but i thought it was kind of cute. especially because he kept her blackberry in his pocket too. but i think the pastor added to the levity by adding it was official on facebook and in his book. haha.
I think it's kind of funny - it was definitely meant as a joke, I'm sure.
I wonder if they stopped at midnight to update their twitter posts...you know, while consummating their marriage 
I feel like that's pretty funny, kudos to them for being themselves. But I wouldn't do it lol!
Hehee... if they did it as a joke, then props to them! I don't think our guests would have thought it was that funny...
I saw another couple do this awhile back. While I get theyre trying to be funny, I do not really like it when couples try too hard to be funny during their ceremony. Like that wedding party dancing to chris brown, blah.
Oh my gosh. THAT WAS AWESOME! It's like that one guy who had "HELP ME" written down on the soles of his shoes. Ah, I may be one of the odd one's out, but I am SO for people doing things their way during a wedding. Kudos to them for having a good time!
Lol. I think it's hilarious! I would never do that (at the alter, for that matter), but it was funny nonetheless!
If they were doing it as a joke (as it seems), I guess it's kinda funny. Personally, I don't do any of the social networking sites, so I don't get the fascination.
It says a lot about our generation....I am undersided as to whether it is a good or a bad thing how electronically obssessed we all are....says me typing on a forum lol.
not a fan (arent the important people there, not needing an update via electronics, bc they are there!?!)
stiginkgo! You make a really good point.
I shared this with my manager last night and she thought it was really dumb.
I think it's pretty hilarious, but I doubt we'd do it at the altar. Maybe at the reception! lol
I think it's cute! My photographer captured the moments when a couple updated their facebook statuses during their ceremony.
We probably won't be doing it, but I think the trend will start spreading (like every wedding trend), haha

I thought it was funny. I kind of feel like it would spoil the moment for me, but if it works for them, and they wanted that kind of lighthearted ceremony, great!
Personally, I think it might be better if it was done at the reception. Could be cute to have the MC hand back the blackberries and make it official on facebook, if one was so inclined.
Funny, but I agree that it is supposed to be a special moment. I am all for technology, but sometimes I think we as a society let it get in the way of too many simpler things.
@ddubzz - cute pics, but i am still not sold on the idea, hehe =)
I think that a good majority of the people at our wedding would so not get it, but it would not be happening during our ceremony anyway.
@ddubzz- I agree with the next new trend. Soon we'll be seeing wedding pics of the happy couple with their phones/computers updating their status for everyone to see.
Oh gosh...talk about taking away from the magic.
One reason technology bugs me a little bit! ;)
