I heard this topic discussed on the radio this morning & found it quite interesting, as I never really thought about it. The gang was trying to decide why brides/grooms would want to ban cell phones at their wedding & they came up with these reasons:
1. texting/tweeting during a wedding is rude & tacky
2. the bride doesn't want pictures to show up on facebook/Internet before she okays them to be released
Is this true? I totally agree that I think it would be 100% rude to be a guest at a wedding & text/tweet during the ceremony - out of respect for the bride & groom, just put it away. However, I don't think I would go so far as to ban cell phones from the entire wedding. With #2, I think I'd be okay with people posting pictures before I did because it's your wedding & who doesn't want to "show off", IMO.
