I signed up to see what all the hype was about and then deleted my account the same day. I heard on the radio Ashton Kutcher was trying to get the most fans. So we tweet for popularity? To obtain a feeling of self worth from complete strangers? Are people really so bored they need to "follow" others? Is their life that unfulfilling? I also have to ask myself who are these individuals who think that what they are doing is so important they have to fill the world in on it? I mean, no offense, I like the Dr. Phil show and find it entertaining and educational, but I don't care what Dr. Phil is doing very hour of the day just as he doesn't likely care what I am doing. I think if I were standing on the alter and my spouse to be felt it necessary to stop the ceremony to twitter, I'd be questioning his sanity and may be taking back my "I do." If his "followers" suddenly are more improtant than the moment with me, what life am I headed for? Every time I hear about twitter anything I honestly kind of shake my head.

Who did he forget to invite to the wedding that needed such and intimate and immediate update? If I had been the bride - I'd have pitched his blackberry instead of the bouquet.

How true this can be. As for tweeting during the marriage ceremony. ABSOLUTELY NOW WAY, NO HOW.

He showed total disrespect to his wife-2-b as well people in part of the ceremony. Unless it was an emergency I think it was selfish of him. This is a huge step for some expecially if it being the first time, but my thoughts is that if you have waited to get to that point (the alter) you could of waited to do any of that some other time. Like maybe if he had to go to the men's room or something. I have been married one time in 1983 and had I had any brains in the first place back then I would of saw the signs before hand and not stood at the alter in the first place back then. Since I have not been (not because I don't want to or that I haven't found the right one till about a year and 1/2 ago but God saw to it that he have a second chance with his 3 children and reconcile with his ex. I can't compete with God's work nor ever questioned it. I have had a tough time of this break up and am still very much in love with him to this day. I just know that no one in this situation was in the wrong and I pray that they are all happy. But, for this man I think he has an addiction and needs to get some kind of counseling for it. It is an epidemic this texting etc. and no one has values anymore to sit face-to-face and talk it is sad. Good luck to this couple and hope that this at the alter was just a fluke and he makes amends to her for it. Even though it will be something he can never take back and she will as well all that witnessed it remember it in the back of their minds forever. Cell phones should be off during an event like this.

His behaviour (and hers too if she was doing the same twittering) would be a good indicator of how technology has affected us to the extreme. If it was not staged, I would find that if I am not the center of his attention at a moment that was very important to our future, I am not sure if I would want to stay by his side. I realize that there is no way I would be the center of his world all the time in our everyday world, but on the day that we are exchanging vows, he would be the one I would be focusing on and I would expect the same treatment.

Alexandia and katherine should stay away form her until she fixes herself.

Ofcourse I am no psychiatrist but really, who does that? I am however, more shocked at the bride for going through with it! I mean if nothing else it was inconsiderate not to mention inappropriate. its also a clear sighn as to where his prioritys lie-if he even knows what that entails. Jesus!! This really is original, talk about selfcentered. One question comes to mind though. Why do such people want to get married? When clearly they would rather be single and be free to do as they please-whenever, however and with whomever they please.
