Groom Whips Out Phone at Altar to Switch Facebook Relationship Status

Take this couple in the video posted after the break, which we found on Mashable. The groom, Dana Hanna, is dressed in his crisp, black tuxedo. The bride, whose name we don't know, is glowing in her white dress. Looks like a normal wedding ceremony, right? Well, it was, until Hanna pulled out his phone and changed his relationship status on Facebook to 'married' right there at the altar. Quick on her feet, the bride follows suit, and the crowd gets a good laugh out of it. But it's the preacher who delivers the punchline. "If it's official on Facebook, it's official in my book," he says.
While this stunt went over well this time, we wouldn't recommend everybody try it. It takes a special person to find this funny and play along, too. Hanna is a lucky man to have her. [From: Mashable]

I agree with Poot-- everyone needs to calm themselves and lighten up--it was a joke--they obviously enjoyed it-- most likely planned it-- their wedding- they were good with it---- so CHILL

I don't think you guys really read the article. They BOTH did it. Pretty sure this was planned.
And like others had said, he was changing his status, in excitement that he is now married. He wanted to do it right away to let everyone know. He didn't take a phone call, he didn't start playing a game on his phone, he didn't text anyone.
I personally think that's awesome and really cute. It just reflects the world we live in. I'm surprised he didn't stop to tweet it either. Maybe he tweeted when she walked down the aisle.

Oh my goodness it was a joke.
How is he not putting his wife first, it was a facebook update not a phone call.
I mean seriously don't take it so seriously no one told you had to do it at your wedding but they chose to do it at thiers. the audience didnt seem too concerned seeing as how they are laughing.
this doesn't make the world a sad place, the fact that people actually use the word "dat" for that and "da" for the word the is sad seriously!

Why do you all care? They were the ones getting married. Let them do what they want.

While this clearly would not be for everyone, this couple remembered to make their day memorable for themselves. For all who say he wasn't putting his wife first--hellooo, he changed his status to include her! I have known people who don't change their statuses for months after a change. Marriage takes a lot of things to make it work, humor with each other is a biggie in my book! 23 years would not have been possible if my husband and I weren't able to get silly and find things to laugh about with each other.

I see your point,Whitney,but apparently you think that violence is okay and normal and the acceptable way to solve problems.You're not someone I want to tie my boat to.

I have to agree with one of the comments below. I mean, I get it, it's their wedding and they can do what they want, and I get that both of them planned it that way, but that's another example of how technology is ruining everything these days. I love technology in some ways, but what they did was just immature, rather unnecesary and not funny. Their wedding looked way too pretty and formal for them to have brought something stupid like that into it, not everything has to involve social networking sites or technology, just my opinion.

It's always nice to see heterosexuals preserving the sacredness and validity of "traditional" marriage.....

Now Gays should really get married

Oh my gosh you guys are so dumb. It was obviously PLANNED. Did all of you fail to notice the fact that he had TWO cell phones, one of which he gave to the bride? That MIGHT just mean that the two planned it out. No guy would be douchey enough to do that spontaniously. Obviously the couple thought it was a cute thing to do, and i honestly think it was, especially if they both planned it. For those of you out there saying this is a sign of the husband having a big ego or whatever, i feel bad for your spouses cause' you know, this is obviously a big sign that you are missing a sense of humor or can't read or have the smallest attention span not being able to watch more than 20 seconds of the video. -.-
On another note,I honestly thought it was cute! Very witty of him.

It was THEIR WEDDING! theyre obviously both ppl who r clever and witty and FUN!! lol i think theyre totally awesome for doing this, perfect timing!!! CONGRATS ON THE MARRIAGE i hope it works out perfectly!!! :)

Holy cow, people. Everyone is complaining about the wedding, but it's the marriage that's important. I'd rather someone start their marriage off with a little laughter - the couple that laughs together stays together.

ya know what Babygirl, i did watch and read the whole article thank you very much but you need to pay attention cause apparently you didnt see the ROFL i am as crazy as i want to be! and sorry for not writing anything about the BRIDE, it was all in a joking matter to me they did something funny so i thought of something that would have probably made it funnier,sorry you cant see that i wasnt trying to be serious. If you felt that i was being serious well now you know,and well your right though people need to watch what they comment on and say especially if they didnt see or read the whole thing! LOL!
For the rest of you that was crazy, cause he all putin his finger up! like hold up we almost done! LOL LMBO! i bet evrybody in the audience was like wat the heck?! lol!
