Twurch Marriages – ur vows on teh intawebs

love-on-twitterFrom the “world has gone crazy” basket, US resident Dana Hanna takes out his mobile phone during a wedding service to update his Twitter followers and Facebook friends of the proceedings. Where’s the twist? Dana was the groom!

As the minister presiding over the wedding said: I now pronounce you husband and wife. It’s official on Facebook … and it’s official in my book.

Thinking back, for those of you have already taken the plunge to tie the knot, was there anything ‘out-of-the-ordinary’ you did for your wedding? I was plain and boring for the most part but, in hindsight, if Twitter was around you may have found my updates something along the lines of:

Obituary: Farewell Common Sense

green-funerals-green-coffins
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

Humour: some crazy vids

Ok … now for something a little more light hearted. I do believe that if you’re not prepared to poke fun at yourself every now and then, then you’re just too hard up and devoid of any true joy.

What’s your view on ‘some-sex’ marriage?

No, it’s not a typo – I actually did intend on typing ‘some-sex marriage’, not ‘same-sex marriage’. It’s the caption to the otherwise hazy picture of this cartoon that was found in a random mag of a doctors surgery waiting room.

Given I’ve been reading a bit on the controversial topic of same-sex marriage in recent weeks, my wife thought she’d send this for a laugh while waiting to see her doctor this morning. And a laugh it got!

By the way, what's your position on some-sex marriage?
