    Most of my FB friends have updated their status and changed their names that very night. I'm not surprised that people would do it at the altar.
    I must admit, I am a little tired of people wanting to make their wedding SOOO unique and funny that it ends up a youtube sensation. (I'm an enabler, though -- I'm already sending this link to other friends. Gah!)

    Anyone who even peripherally gives a shit about these people's wedding is obviously going to be there already.

    I guess I really am officially now old and no fun at all.. but are there no occasions left (funerals included) that people take seriously anymore? Aside from just being tasteless given the circumstance, one assumes if you go to the trouble and expense to have a wedding ceremony in an actual church you're taking the ritual seriously on some level. At the reception? Sure that would be amusing, but at the altar?? I hope their mother's collectively gave them an ear full.

    @Dorawithanattitude: You just know other couples are now going to try and trump this with an even more ridiculous stunt to upload on to Youtube. I bet the happy couple would have been furious if others at their wedding had been busy texting away and taking phone calls all through the ceremony.

    @Dorawithanattitude: its their wedding. their choice. sorry that you didnt like it, but im sure that they didn't get married for your sake. a lot of people get married/have these big weddings in order to please family and fulfill societal expectations. if either of them were really sticklers about tradition or "taste" they wouldn't have planned it in advance. some stunt like this is a way to put a little bit of yourself into a ceremony that can sometimes be so overwrought with tradition and formality that it doesn't reflect you as individual. at first i thought it was going to be some internet-obsessed geek boy, but it was clearly planned by both bride and groom.

    personally, i enjoy such irreverence.

    @KATE!: No doubt they did not get married for my sake- I have no idea who these two kids are.

    My point- and somewhat yours- is that more often than not weddings are either staged for reasons of faith or family. The entire reason I eloped. But my point is that if you do buy in to either the religious aspect or the family pressure- fine that's entirely your choice. But if you do you also have an obligation to go along with the fact that either you are in the church of your choice you are placating your family- respect that.

    The best wedding I ever went to (and there have been MANY) was a combined Jewish Methodist ceremony with an awesome rabbi and minister that blended both faiths and the two people being married beautifully.

    Once the actualy ceremony was done and they were walking down the aisle the best man yelled "Now that you're married what are you going to do?" and they both hollered "We're going t Disney World!" it was hysterical!

    A time and a place for everything.

    @Dorawithanattitude: i just dont think that there is a singular way to have a wedding nor do you (or i) have the authority to tell someone what they can or cannot do in their ceremony. every wedding is a combination of tradition and personalization and just because someone breaks from the script in a way you wouldn't doesn't mean you should be so quick to judge. i mean this whole "during the ceremony/directly after the ceremony" distinction is so absurd. some people don't revere tradition or pomp and circumstance as much as others. i dont know why people consider it such a big threat or offense that there are people out there who hold different values and express them. because i mean really, who are you to say what the time and the place is for everything?

    It looks like all involved enjoyed it-- so power to you!

    On a pure sappy level, however, I have to admit that little split second before the kiss is often very romantic and magical. At least their moment will be memorable! Congrats to the Facebook/Twitter couple.

    wow the anger! everyone in the video was laughing, and I thought it was pretty funny too! he's clearly a geek (see twitter handle), and they are just playing off that.

    not my cup of tea, but i would have chuckled if i had been in attendance. i wonder how many of their friends whipped out their phones and "liked" this?

    I find this delightful because to me it shows someone who is able to take a boring stuffy tradition and put a joke into it. I would die laughing if my groom did this.
