In the new millennium, we have evolved in our social networking with a virtual approach, with Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Crazy stunts and theme weddings have become a give-in for many. Possibly they do it for the chance to be immortalized on the internet and create a viral sensation. Whatever floats their boat right? They have had months of planning and now it’s time to just have fun!
YouTube has a new hit in the wedding genre, and it really reflects the times we are living in. Picture a groom, named Dana Hanna, at the altar in his tuxedo, standing next to his bride, Tracy, as they complete their vows and exchange rings in front of the minister. So far seems like a normal wedding ceremony, right? Until Dana pulls out his cellphone to change his relationship status on Facebook to ‘married’ right there at the altar. The groom, knowing his bride would be surprised, had her phone ready for her to do the same.
She had no idea this was going to happen, as the groom only included the minister in the plan. He says that they have a lot of family scattered about the country that couldn’t attend the wedding, so he wanted to make sure they were up to the minute. The minister, being aware of this trend many have adopted as a staple in their day-to day lives, was more than happy to play along. He added, after the couple were done updating their status’, “If it’s official on Facebook, it’s official in my book”.
While this stunt went over well this time, we wouldn’t recommend everybody to try it. It takes a special person to find this funny and play along, too. Dana is a lucky man to have such an easygoing woman like Tracy. Good luck to this modern couple, with many more fun times ahead!
