With so much of our lives captured online, it\u2019s no surprise some couples are actually incorporating Facebook status updates into their ceremonies, making use of those three magic little words: \u2018Is married to\u2019. It\u2019s a little cheesy, but it\u2019s a lovely way to share the day with people not there to witness your vows.<\/p>\n
