Man Updates Twitter and Facebook Accounts During His Own Wedding

By John Farrier in Blogs & Internet, Video Clips on Dec 2, 2009 at 7:27 pm

Dana Hanna of Abingdon, Maryland updated his Facebook relationship status at the altar, immediately after the presiding pastor declared the marriage. In The Los Angeles Times, W.J. Hennigan writes:

Hanna explains on YouTube that he did it for laughs and that the gag was a surprise to everybody in attendance except the minister. This would explain his wife’s look as he pulled “his” and “hers” cellphones from his tuxedo pockets.

“This was just done to be funny — we really don’t Facebook THAT often ,” he wrote on YouTube. “I have a lot of family scattered around the country and we all use Facebook a lot to keep in touch.”

You can read Hanna’s full explanation at the YouTube link.

Next up: rigging the coffin at his mother's funeral so she screams "BOO!!!" as the mourners pass to pay their respects. Stay classy!

Not funny - just stupid. Weddings are serious business. Oh well, he got his 15 minutes.

Get over yourselves. This is no more stupid than the British tradition of signing the marriage certificate during the ceremony.

ugh. That's revolting. I'd ask for an annulment if I were his wife.

I agree with Geekazoid, but disagree with Peetie Marie. It was actually kind of cool, I somehow see him being ironical, and perfectly laying the foundation of their particular marriage.

I'm all for people doing whatever they want to celebrate their marriage, so on one hand, I say, great, if it's something you wanted to in order to lighten things up, that's your business. That doesn't mean that I don't think it's utterly tacky.

This would be hilarious if it were done on a TV show such as Curb Your Enthusiam, but here it's just classless.

Gail Pink, you've hit it on the head. Funny on TV, immature in real life.

having watched a lot of wedding shows on tv, and having been to redneck weddings, this isn't that bad.

all you people who say a wedding is serious business: Only if the bride and groom want it to be. It's their day, get the hell over it.
