Completely agree about her public/private life. She perfectly knew the wedding news would make a fuss and would be a surprise, or a shock - if not a disappointment to many, that's why she couldn't announce it during the CDL in the first place. Imagine the reaction of the audience live ? lol I'd prefer not.

I also think that updating twitter and TA is the way (one could say : the marketing strategy) she chose to soften the kind of sudden and surprising news. Ayu needs to keep the situation clear and to reassure her fans in view of this wedding news blast. She wants to show TA and everybody that they'll always be able to trust her. Whatever happens in her own (not always that private, but at least her own) life, she's still there for her fans and will never change -- and even if she wanted to, she would never be able to do so, as she said on twitter.
Keeping us up to date constantly doesn't let much time to question ourselves about her new situation, it may also be a way to digest things faster for those who were sad, and to move on, even if the context is somehow surreal as she said herself. Maybe sharing some news helps her realize more that she (the good ol' and cute ayu) really got married.
