updating your FB relationship status

Hmm I won't have my phone near me, but I am sure I will think about it at least once! I will probably change it the next morning during our family brunch =)

Well my fb name is a pseudo name which became a running joke with all of my friends and family. so i have been contemplating using my fake first name and changing the last name, or just changing to my real new name. either way probably wont mess with it until a couple days or week after the wedding

Ha that is kind of ridiculous, mine probably won't change until after I get back from the honeymoon, there are better things to be thinking about than a facebook status change right after getting married!

@ kris - I know! It's like if you aren't updating and taking messages on FB then you are such a bad person...I like FB for the same reasons you do....to contact friends I haven't seen in a while once in a while

I actually asked my guests not to post any pictures on any social networking site until we've posted ours as well. I can't stand when people post unflattering pics of me on FB and think it's so great or funny....or check me into some place...I don't want everyone to know where I am all the time...it's annoying

I also asked them not to take pictures at the ceremony so that my paid professional photographer can get the shots she needs to get without a bunch of people standing in her way with their cellphones and digital cameras...

I guess I'm mean...lol..but oh well!!

My friends would place bets on whether or not I would do it...

But I don't plan on it. I'll wait until after the cruise up the river. We're having a shorter reception, so I want to spend ALL the time with my guests

Ha Ha Cydney, we weren't even FBO at all until we got on Facebook to find peoples addresses and kids names and what not for invites. Went from no status to engaged. Changed to "married" the day after the wedding because friends--even though I had begged them not to, posted wedding pics almost immediately. I too, thinking of deleting facebook from my life. It was crucial in the miracle of reconecting with my long lost love who is now my husband, but now everyone I needed to find is found, so I don't need it anymore. And I really don't want to play slots or farmville, and I really don't give a shit what you're cooking for dinner, and don't want your policital and religious views crammed down my throat friends. Thank you very much.

Not only will we not be updating but we will wait until we get back from our HM.

We will also be asking guests not to post pictures on FB or any other media until after the wedding day.

We did this for my daughters wedding, at her request, as we were worried that the younger crowd would be posting pics like crazy. Funny thing her uncle posted a pic during her walk and her other uncle scolded him to a hilt.

I am sure we will update ours after the ceremony. Not at the altar though.

@Yardiegirl-we did the same thing. We asked people to not take pictures during the ceremony and almost everyone cooperated. There were a few taking pics with phones but that's because they got there right before it started and didn't see the request. We also asked that they not post any pictures on FB until our pro posted theirs. Worked out very well.

Neither of us are terribly facebook addicted, so I don't think we'd be doing that. I think the next day would be the best time to do it at least for me!

That screams crazy to me, but not as bad as my FSIL who changed her last name on Facebook a YEAR before the wedding.

I think this fits lol

I kept my phone in my emergency kit so I had it during the ride to the reception. It didn't even cross my mind to change my status right then though. The people who mattered the most to me knew I was married because they were there. I simply have facebook to keep in touch with my family all over the US. I have a love/hate relationship with facebook .... lol

I think that, with t he advent of smart phones, it is so easy that I can see why some brides are doing it. You don't have to take 5 minutes for your computer to start and 10 minutes for dialup to load anymore, it take like 20 seconds to get on FB from your phone and update your status. I hadn't really thought about it, but I will probably wait until the next day too.

We changed our status on the Monday following the wedding. We're not slaves to the internet (we don't even own cell phones!) and liked being away from any technology for a couple of days.

I will definitely have someone take my phone before the ceremony because I don't want to be tempted to miss anything during my day. That is definitely one day that FB and any social networks can wait. I will update my status the next day. I'll want to enjoy my new husband and the fact that I'll be a Mrs. My emotions will be running too high to update a status during my wedding.

I would between ceremony and reception but now I will wait until the next day

FB has taken over the 'fun' of just enjoying the moment/life. People go to places/do things for the sake of a PIC or update. If I update mine at all, it will def be after not during.
