More and more couples are opting for an ‘unplugged’ ceremony- where guests are asked to turn off their cell phones and refrain from taking any pictures. Through my 2 years of wedding planning, I would say about half of my brides choose to do an unplugged ceremony, while half choose to let guests be.
