The night before the grand October 27 wedding of vice presidential candidate Mar Roxas and broadcaster Korina Sanchez, frequent tweeter Roxas posted, "Tying the knot in this age of Twitter is certainly something." Their honeymoon was certainly something too, since the newlyweds kept local Twitter followers abuzz (or, well, embarrassed) with the latest updates on their escapades in Japan.
SPOT.ph compiled some of the lovebirds' tweets, mush and all:
