This one made me laugh .. a lot. I can only image the hole I'd be in if I dared to pull out my Berry on the altar (not that anyone would be surprised). Check out this couple who are true BlackBerry addicts. In the middle of the ceremony not one, but two devices pop out as the couple updates their relationship status on Facebook.. The video is good for a laugh or two. Would you pull out your Berry on the altar? Do you think its awesome or completely rude? Drop a comment and let us know your thoughts. Thanks to CJ for sending this in!

cause he had her Blackberry in his jacket

but if he just took his out and started texting

she would have flipped on his ass

But oh my... I love it! What a unique thing to do. Hopefully, there's no symbolism going on here of what their relationship will be to come lol. LOVED it..very cool.

THAT WAS AWESOME

I know this couple, they live across the street from my wife and I and my son and his son play together. They are cool people and this is just them. Dana loves to do a little crazy every now and then. Their wedding was the bomb.

hahah that was AWESOME :D

Posted by Jonezed7 Sunday, Dec 06, 2009 797 days ago

That was my favorite part too.

Posted by TexPearl Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

These people need to get a life.
"updating my relationship status" - how gay.

Posted by Dr.Boost Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

I may agree with you a little on this, but truly, these people seemed to enjoy what they do. Who are we to judge.

I'm not saying, I'm just saying. :)

Posted by STEVES STORM Sunday, Dec 06, 2009 797 days ago

They just wanted to do something off the wall and different. People do it all the time, I've seen way worse. They were having fun. After all its THEIR Wedding. I think people who spend the lonely lives trashing people in these forums are the real GAY ONES. Leave them be, they didn't ask for alLthe publicity their getting, I guess the news has nothing else more important to report like obamacare and the deficit and all the thousands of dollars real Americans will be paying for horrible health care while we help pay for all the illegal immigrants who are taken over our country. All I can say is load up now and be ready to lock and load. God bless our troops and their families .

I just wanted to take a second to say "thank you" for the second half of your comment. I feel a little less crazy when I see others finding problems with the "Messiah's" plan. And yes, thank you to the troops and their families for sacrificing so much for this great country. Let's HOPE that after all this CHANGE, we remain the free nation our forefathers created.

Posted by NetCedric Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

You said it. Not to mention unbelievably crass. Some people just lack any class whatsoever.

Posted by es_bih Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

Agreed.

Posted by 312 Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

How trashy.

Posted by somuchgreater Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

its a joke. have aa sense of humor. every both wants something that sets there wedding apart for the boring regular. its meant to be funny, not serious

Posted by clubprocjc Sunday, Dec 06, 2009 796 days ago

You're a tool! Let people have a little fun and a laugh!

Posted by aoclemmer Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

Is it rude that he pulled out he blackberries? Absolutely not!!! Its a reflection of their personality. Plus it sounded like nobody had a problem with it. In fact, almost 4 months ago, my husband and I tied the knot. And on for our wedding cake toppers their was a bride and groom holding, yup cell phones.

Posted by andy957 Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

isn't the plural of BlackBerry "BlackBerrys"? This forum especially should spell it correctly. :)

Posted by cenloe Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

"The plural of Blackberry is "Blackberries." The plural of Blackberry users is "Dingleberries.""

Posted by cenloe Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

...Apparently RIM doesnt want anyone to use "Blackberry" or "Blackberries", the correct plural usage is "Blackberry Smartphones". Check it out directly from RIM's website

BlackBerrys for the devices, Blackberries for the fruits.

Posted by ed29550 Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

Rude Rude RUDE. Turn the darn thing off for five freaking minutes. How old are they? Guess soon it will be BA meetings. (Blackberry Anonymous) No wait, thats for quitters.

Posted by jaeyang9 Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 797 days ago

rude in what way? it's THEIR wedding. they could do as they please. lol

Posted by gallagherm1993 Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

well i guess it was sweet that the guy wanted everyone on facebook to be updated about his new wife.

but rly, what's next? answering PIN messages during sex???

Posted by Xopher Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

Maybe vows by IM? Have the projector screen down and display the "I Do's" via text message....

..of course, that could work for a deaf couple... interesting thought...

Posted by ayoria Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

Excelente!! totally loved the video!

Posted by swade86 Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

Of course itz awesome....if my bride's into tech like me we'd do it on our wedding day....itz funny

big up CB

Posted by bsdbytes Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

What a tool.

Posted by tediprude Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

At least they both understand each other's addictions. And - if, in fact, that is their only addiction - then they should have a long and happy life together.

Peace...

Posted by bigmac05 Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

I thought it was cute. If they both don't have a problem with it, then who are we to judge. In the end, it's THEIR wedding and as long as they both are happy, that's all that matters. Good luck to them, and I hope they have a happy marriage! :)

Posted by miguel11691 Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

that is just too funny lol... not rude at all...

Posted by s2by10 Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

Awesome! Very cool way to add a touch of today's society in the wedding. Something everyone at the wedding and anyone watching it will remember for a long time. Not rude at all either. I would probably die if I did that since my gf's whole family knows I'm a CrackBerry addict!

Posted by mjbesen310 Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

that was great!!

Posted by birtsg Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

I Agree with miquel11691 and s2by10. This was done not to be disrespectful but just to put a little humor in the ceremony. I also wish them many years of happiness and BlackBerry bliss! :-)

Posted by ilovemileyyy Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

It was deffinetely planned, just because they wanted to be funny and put some humor in their wedding.

Posted by dmcgrady Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

If that phone is so much more important to that guy than his Woman, then she should have gotten the signal load and clear.

I bet this marriage wont last 6 months........

There is no excuse for that at the alter, turn it off for 10 minutes while getting married for Christ Sake.

Posted by somuchgreater Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

thats how my wedding will be one day. me and my gf love are blackberrys and facebook. thats cool that they both have a sense of humor

Posted by beri Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

Regardless of planned or just plain spontaneous I think this is pretty cool, something unique and not the plain old ordinary/traditional thing. Personally don't think its rude at all thats pretty cool of them, creative!

Posted by Jmosack606 Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

now the fact that his head wasn't thrown across the room shows true love. Blackberry bringing couples together since 1999. Beat that e harmony.

Posted by ADberry Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

Haha good one...nice sense of humor there.

Posted by Laureanne Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

okay. That's just weird. Is that REALLY the first thing they had to do???

Posted by marker580 Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

I don't think it's rude, I think it's sacriligious.

Posted by gohan_bcc Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

Anyone who has complained about what he did and saying he should have turned off his phone. IT WAS PLANNED.

KEYWORD THEY DID IT TO MAKE THE CEREMONY FUNNY. AKA IT WAS NOT SERIOUS. PLEASE READ THE FINE TEXT IN THE VIDEO BEFORE MAKING JUDGEMENT...Idiots...

I thought it was clever and funny, and to whomever said the marriage won't last six months, I feel sorry for whomever you marry as since you can clearly not read fine print you will find yourself with nothing.

Posted by colinh810 Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

I guess you guys havent seen the jk wedding video or are all old foagies sticking to "tradition". The wedding is a celebration of this couple's marriage, they should be able to celebrate it however they like.

The JK wedding video.

Of course when I got married, there were no smart phones. I was introduced to the cell phone via the walkie talkie type Motorola. It was basically the size of a brick! Has anyone ever had one of those? They were heavy, and was probably frying my brains out, but it got GOOD reception, even for an analog phone....

Posted by howardlerner Sunday, Dec 06, 2009 797 days ago

Todd:

I thought this was very funny too. I don't think my Wife would be a Fan of doing this at our Wedding ( Although the technology didn't exist in 1988 ). Yes, I have used my share of Analog Cell Phones ( Brick, Bag, and Flip ) were my favs. Go PATS!!

Posted by ChuckH0308 Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 798 days ago

It's awesome, but only because it was planned and because BOTH of them were on the same page. It was done for entertainment purposes. Had he just pulled out his BB at random without a care in the world then it would have been pretty rude. Cell phones in general can be relationship killers...I would know. Nothing is worse than trying to have cuddle time with someone on the couch while watching a movie and have them sit there with their phone in one hand ignoring you. We actually have a bit of a problem in our house now with the iPhone. It gets pulled out when we go out to dinner and then it becomes me fighting Twitter on the iPhone for attention. I haven't figured out yet how to deal with it, but it's not a happy situation. And no I'm not jealous of Twitter, I just believe there are times and places for doing that crap, and a nice dinner out does not qualify. Yes I consider it OK to google something on your phone at dinner if it comes up in conversation or such, but just sitting their entertaining yourself and ignoring your dinner date is an absolute no-no!

Posted by sk8trix Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 797 days ago

nothing wrong w dat theyre just trying to add some humor besides dat shows also that not only they love their phone but theyre facebook addicts hhahahaha

Posted by Coraya Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 797 days ago

I think its great. they weanted to make their marriage a one of a kind memory. they sure did that :)

Posted by Nomad6677 Saturday, Dec 05, 2009 797 days ago

that's great! both of them did it so i think its acceptable, and they probably couldn't care less what anyone else thought of it.
