twitter wedding!

Hi y'all!

There are a lot twitter actions these days. Yesterday there was a new event added: a twitter wedding, in Holland. The twedding
, as the wedding has become known soon in twitter language, has become a big event that - and that's the most special - is funded by donations. Or in other words through crowdsourcing, or crowd funding, as mentioned in the same trendy language.

At an event where tweets were displayed on a big screen, he asked his girlfriend to marry him. And that went with the very simple question, "@jandor Will you marry me 'and the answer was obviously yes.

Power Social Media
The idea of the wedding to fully-fund crowd sourcing and using social media came naturally after that. The couple is very active in various social media networks through their twedding sees as an opportunity to show how strong connections online can be.
"It's really unbelievable what has happened in the past months. Social media started in the first place to share and give, them we were well aware. But that so many people, who we have never really met together, so much can do for each other, we would have never dreamed that,"said Jannetta Dorsman.



Big party
Besides the wedding and the cake, the location of the wedding was arranged through social media as well, include a party where one thousand people attend. Several artists performed and for the occasion they made up a 'tweddingband'.
