FH and I have decided we would prefer to have an unplugged ceremony, for all of the typical reasons (hired competent professionals, don't want iPads in my face as I'm walking down the aisle, etc.). I want to let our guests know about this via a small blurb on our programs. The programs are the last thing they see before the ceremony begins, and I feel like the vast majority of guests sit and read whatever's on programs to kill time before the ceremony.
The wording we currently have is:
"We kindly ask that our guests put away all electronic devices during the ceremony.
Our ceremony will be short and sweet, and we don’t want you to miss a thing!"
Is this enough, or do I need to explain WHY we're asking this of our guests? Do I need to explicitly say that guest photos are perfectly acceptable (even encouraged) at any other time during the day, except for during our 15-minute long ceremony? I know people have strong opinions on this, and I don't want to offend our guests.
