Rich and Lauren got married about a month ago...wedding on the beach, reception at my church. As I'm stuffing my face full of most excellent wedding food with some friends and family, my wife mentions that the happy couple will be soon updating their Facebook status from "engaged" to "married".
If you know anything about Facebook, you know that it's basically THE communication method of choice for us 20-somethings, and changing your relational status ("single" "in a relationship" etc.) is just about the biggest thing you can do. Most couples have to wait until after the wedding or honeymoon for internet access to change their profiles to let the world know they are indeed officially married, but I immediately realized I could help make a memorable 21st century wedding moment right then and there! I grabbed Rich and whispered to him that I could allow he and Lauren update their Facebook live during the reception, on the big screen in our church that had been playing videos and pictures that evening.

I'm a genius...I only wish we had done this at MY wedding...but, of course, Facebook was only a pipe dream at that point...
