Someone mentioned in a board post that they had to hassle their FI to change his relationship status... that got me wonderin'.
What's your SO's relationship status on Facebook? Did you have to remind your SO to change his/her status? :-)
lol.. he "confirmed" our relationship, so they were linked--as soon as I updated mine to "engaged," his was updated, too! (Maybe he had to confirm that again?)
Engaged. We changed our facebook r'ship statuses about 2 hours after he put the ring on my finger. No joke. :)
He's listed as engaged. I had to nag him to confirm that he's engaged to me, since he rarely uses facebook. ;)
My FH doesn't have a facebook. I remember reading a blog (can't remember if it was on WB) where at the end of the ceremony the newlyweds pulled out their phones and changed their status to "married."
Neither of us have anything in the relationship box lol... but we both are FB friends if that counts :D
He just got a FB account a couple of weeks ago and when he signed up he put that he was married all on his own.
Actually, he changed his status. Mine prior to engagement did not say anything. But we had to hold off the *change of status* to tell parents and people who would have been offended if they found out via facebook and not us we were engaged
Neither of us changed our status (it was "in a relationship") but then people kept hassling us about it so finally I changed mine and like someone else said, once he confirmed it, it changed his too. After that I started getting lots of wedding-related advertisements on my page - and my friends did too! How annoying.
@marigold- Yeah, ours was after my parents stormed the beach with champagne, we drank the champagne, then we ran back up to the house and got on our lappies and changed it. :p
(He proposed on the beach in front of our beach house on NYE with fireworks. My parents were waiting for the signal to come down. lol)
Nope, didn't have to nag him, it was more like the opposite. We changed our status together, but he was the one who was waiting and urging me to change mine so he could change his, too. He couldn't wait to tell everyone. lol As for me, I am not a big FB user.
At the beginning of the relationship I had to nag him to change it to 'in a relationship' but he actually changed his to being engaged before I did mine.
My FH doesn't have a Facebook account so none of it matters to him. I don't have anything down in the relationship box on my account and none of my family or friends have commented on it either, even though they have chosen to do so for theirs, so it's all a matter of personal preference in the end.
My FI actually sent me a request to be his fiance on facebook from his phone right before he proposed! So it was waiting for me when we got home and went to update our facebook statuses. I took a screen shot of it before I accepted so I still have it! :)
@ JoJo - That's cute!
He changed his status first, I didn't even know engaged was an option- I had used facebook only in its early days then stopped using it for a few years. He started using facebook as a way to get back into touch with friends we wanted to invite- very helpful!
Definetly had to bug him to get to engaged and then reminded him to confirm the married status! It doesn't automatically change relationships until the other person confirms.
FI changed his first! He was definitely excited to announce our engagement via Facebook, and we reveled in the online congrats for weeks!
He changed his to 'in a relationship' and I was the one to confirm it - he was super excited to tell everyone...lets hope we'll both get to change it again soon...
Like Crebre, neither of us have anything listed as our relationship status. I imagine we'll update when we're married. But for now I don't need facebook to validate our engaged status, those who really know us, know.
i was the one who requested to 'confirm' as i was soooooo excited when i got engaged. FI doesn't go on facebook much, so i told him to confirm me. =)
We changed our status together, a couple of days after we got engaged! It was a really nice moment.
We made an amusing big deal over the change. Called necessary relatives and friends first, then we said in serious tones, "Darling, it's time to update Facebook." Laptops were set up side by side. Chaos ensued :)
He doesn't have a Facebook. He just hasn't done it, but I'm sure, eventually he'll sign up.
My status is engaged and when I'm on, he always makes a comment about how cute it is (that engaged is my status). Should be no big deal.
BUT - I keep a pretty clean page - meaning, not any specific wedding info, or too much info about anything really. Pics here and there and random status updates, but that's about it.
same, i couldn't wait to put it up (even though i'm not crazy about facebook). he was like, "um...let's tell some of our friends personally before facebook tells them"...3 days after he proposed, we had relationship status updates :)
We changed it after we called all of the family & drove to all of their houses-then we put it up!
haha facebook is kind of funny for us. It is how FI "asked" me to be his girlfriend. We had been on a few dates and then one day there was a request in my inbox asking me to confirm that I was his girlfriend! I was like UMMMM this is not an appropriate way to tell me that you would like to be exclusive dear!
Then we had a joke that he was going to ask me to marry him by just changing his fb status to engaged and waiting for me to confirm haha. He did not, luckily :) But, it was not hard to get him to change his status. I did it first and he confirmed the next time he was online.
I honestly don't know...he has a facebook, as do I but he RARELY uses it and I maybe do once every two weeks or so...
But this reminds me of after we moved in together...now grated we moved in together after only 4 months of knowing each other...
But I found his yahoo profile which well - yeah the screen name was almost pornographic and still said "single and looking"...that ticked me off - but I asked him about it and he removed the profile. :) it was just one of those old one's he hadn't used since meeting me.
nope he changed it after we got back from the beach after he proposed
He changed his status and sent me the "engaged to" request a few hours after we got engaged!
We got engaged, called/emailed/texted/facebooked everyone, then went to dinner to celebrate. When we got back from dinner we briefly checked voicemail/email/texts/facebook and that is when he updated his status.
Mr Spin was all for changing status immediately, but I made him wait so we could make sure all our family members and close friends were informed via phone first. His friend C announced his engagement to his buddies through facebook, and I thought that was kinda tactless. I wanted our important peeps to know firsthand. ^_^ I think we waited till that Monday (engaged on a Saturday night).
We both changed our statuses right after we got engaged :o)
I changed my status to engaged within MINUTES of the engagement. I love facebook. FI was happy to "accept" the change lol
My aunt emailed to yell at us that we hadn't changed our FB status!
Haha we changed ours to "engaged" as soon as we got home from our celebratory dinner!
It's engaged, but only because I logged into FB (with his permission!) and changed it. He doesn't care.
I do remember back when we both used MySpace and had just started dating, we went in and changed our relationship status to "In a relationship" independently of each other the same weekend. So romantic ;)
