Is it me or do people really huzzz when they get engaged?

Dont get me wrong this isn't the second coming of Andy Rooney here. Im all about finding the one, trying to make it all work, and living happily ever after or whatever you want to call it. I'm also more than happy for people who have found that in their lives. My problem is this... Do you really need to overly broadcast your engagement on social networking sites like facebook and let the whole world know with a sappy/impersonal status messages like "happiest day of my life" or "thanks everyone we're so happy"... This is huzzing to the fullest extent. I mean c'mon what are you really trying to prove by posting on your status to the world that your fiance proposed to you last night?!?! What? Are you fishing for "congrats"? Cause you know thats what you are gonna to get...Or are you looking for people you havnt talked to you in ages to write some idiotic line like "wow you are engaged?" "who is the guy/girl?"..... You're really gonna write back to all those inquiries and explain to them what happened?! Doubt it. Instead you have to take the time to go back on facebook at the end of the day and change your impersonal status from: "I got engaged last night" to another impersonal status that says: "Thank you so much we're so happy"... Then what? Are you gonna invite all those people who said congratulations to you on facebook to your wedding? Doubt it. I mean cmon this is so huzz to death... Basically what you're doing is creating a medium for yourself to braodcast to the world what happened to you...Its almost like a football player thanking his fans for voting them into the probowl... except the football player doesnt tell his fans "i made it to the probowl", then wait till the end of the day to collect his congratulatory statements and then tell everyone "thank you, I am so happy".

I mean are you really that important to need a medium to broadcast your special day?
Their is a simple solution to this, tell the people you care about that you got engaged, its called a phone call or "hey lets meet up for coffee i got to tell you something..." Like the olden days. When things were more personal and actually meant something... But now-a-days people just huzz like there's no tomorrow.

Untill we huzz again.....
