You may now Tweet the bride.

A tech-obsessed groom Tweeted from the altar and updated his marital status on Facebook before he kissed his bride.

Dana Hanna of Abingdon, Md., pulled out his BlackBerry at his Nov. 21 wedding and texted his way into YouTube history.

Hanna, a computer programmer said his bride, Tracy, was as stunned as the guests. "No one knew about this except the minister, and myself," he told TechCrunch.com.

After their vows, Hanna let go of Tracy's hand and started texting. The minister informed puzzled guests that "Dana is updating his relationship status on Facebook."

In his Tweet, Hanna announced, "Standing at the altar with [Tracy] where just a second ago, she became my wife! Gotta go, time to kiss my bride."

Thinking the same thing .... Tweeting is so rampant, I think it has become an epidemic.

I find this kinda humorous. It seems the bride is laughing.

Good night nurse.

May I ping you both every time a story I post first, is repeated again and again so you can do your thing?

A search was done. Function did not pull up matches.

It's too early for cabin fever. Chill. ;)

I spent a lot of time at the public pool this past summer. Observed many moms and dads totally absorbed by texting.

Also observed their kids saying,”Mommy! Look at me!” [and the usual] and the parent saying “Yes” but not even looking up at the child. We’re going to have a generation of kids who were ignored. Truly sad.

Man is apparently married to technology, why did he want a bride? Or better yet, why did she want him, knowing that she is #2 in his life, already?

So much for any respect for the institution of Marriage.

The carnival has not only come to town, it has set up permanent residence:

Man probably got married because his mother was tired of all his dates being inflatable, and he felt concerned about what to do when his inflation device failed to function.

I don't have an answer on the woman's motive because, after all, no man understands what women want or why they do what they do. I wonder if it involved a pre-nup.

It would be even worse to have (or not have) a generation of kids who drowned because their parents were distracting themselves from staying aware of the kids while they were in the pool!

We’ve already seen what happens when you drive and text. It’s just a matter of time, IMO.

I dunno...and a tad of a Luddite (well...relatively speaking. I don’t tweet, have no crackberry, hate laptops, criticize Facebooking) and I think it’s kinda cute/funny.
