49% OF BRIDES IMMEDIATELY CHANGE FACEBOOK STATUS: A new study has found that nearly half of newly-married women are so impatient, they are changing their status to married before the wedding reception has even begun. The research, commissioned by David's Bridal, revealed that 49 percent of brides-to-be and newlyweds would, or did, update their Facebook relationship status immediately after the ceremony. Melissa Barrad, a wedding planner in San Diego, told Today that she has even seen the status update incorporated into the ceremony itself, explaining, "It's the 21st-century wedding announcement. Instead of sending out wedding announcements, people change their Facebook statuses." Ms. Barrad, who is Facebook friends with most of her clients, said about one-third change their marital status on the wedding night, and another third have done it by the next morning. (Daily Mail)
