Do you take this iPhone, to have and to hold?
So you're the groom at a wedding this last Saturday. You realize, 10 minutes before the ceremony, that you forgot to print out your vows. You try to get an HP printer to plug and play with a Windows Vista laptop, but no dice-- they're playing "Here Comes the Bride," and Windows is only telling you "Found New Hardware." So what do you do?If you're bob.blog, you just email the document to your iPhone, and voila-- the groom reads his vows right off of the gadget of the year for 2007. Pretty darn nifty. No word, however, on if the bride sent her "I do" via SMS.
Now, it's not the first time an iPhone has made a wedding possible, but it is, from what we can tell, the very first actual iPhone-assisted wedding ceremony (Update: Not true-- see below). Just think what we'll be able to do with wedding software when the SDK hits. With this ringtone, iTheeWed!
Thanks, Ben!
Update: It's not the first time this has happened-- TUAW's own Mike Rose tells me that he can personally attest to this having been done before. He attended a wedding where the groom read his vows right off of the iPhone. Looks like a burgeoning market of vow-reading software to me.

Can't you people memorize your vows? How well does it bode that--
Wait a minute, back up. The bride and groom only say "I do." The priest reads the vows unless...
Hippies! My beloved iPhone is being used by dirty hippies!

TUAW is garbage now, and this is a great example why. Seriously, does this site have an editor?

Actually a lot of people find this entertaining, and thanks to the magic of RSS you can just not read this article, so shut it.

I would lol so much if the app crashed while the person was reading their vows.

Typically .Mac... it took approx. 3 minutes to load.
Incredible. TUAW, how 'bout a piece on that, how long it takes the galleries to load, at least here in Europe? It's bloody disgraceful. I uploaded a gallery for my colleagues and I ended up distributing the pics on CD as nobody got to seeing them after waiting 15 minutes for the page to load.

Or if the person got a call during the vows, that would be pretty funny also.
Especially if it was after the part where the priest asks if anyone objects to the marriage......Mrs. Robinson for the 21st century.
