Wedding etiquette: Leave your tweets at the door

Do you remember this viral video from last year when newly minted husband Dana Hanna of Abingdon, Md., shared the happy news from the altar with the rest of the world via Facebook and Twitter? He was called out for it on various comments sections, but apparently it would have been really bad form if one of his guests were tweeting a play-by-play of the event.

Now that Memorial Day is behind us and we look forward a lot of white dresses until Labor Day, WeddingChannel.com points us to proper digital etiquette for wedding attendees in the social media age.

Besides tweets, manners no-nos also include checking in on Foursquare so much that you beat out the bride or groom for mayor of the event and not complaining online about the bride’s diva behaviors, whether she deserves it or not. And, shamefully, I know I should get my hand slapped for this error in judgment: posting party photos to Facebook without getting approval from the couple, who may want to cherish memories of shoving cake into each others’ mouths through rose-colored glasses instead of high-res digital.
