I'm not suggesting they eliminate it. Obviously there are some people who are interested. I just think if it's been years since you've last contacted someone then you probably don't care what's going on in their life. There are people from highschool I used to be friends with, but we grew apart and moved in different directions. I don't want to be mean, but if I haven't made the effort to stay in contact with them, their lives don't mean much to me.
I think what I'm trying to say is that you don't need to make an announcement to everyone and their mother because the important people in your life, and most likely the ones that will be sharing in your happiness will already know.
Also, I think the use of the term "commitment" or "marriage" should be up to the people making the announcement, not the editors of the paper/magazine/ whatever.
