I really want an unplugged ceremony. At every wedding I've been to with our guests, they all have their phones out for key moments. I'm spending a fortune on photo and video and really don't want anything blocking the shots.
FH's family are obsessed with avoiding conflict, so if I put it on our website, they'll think that's super rude. My plan is to have our officiant tell everyone to keep their phones silent and out of sight before the ceremony begins. We also are not having a hashtag. Is that enough? I'm willing to print a sign too, but our photographer says people ignore signs and we need to do it via our officiant.
My FH and his parents say "There's no way to stop people, they're going to do it anyway" and that I should just give it up. FH thinks even his dad might try to take videos while he's standing at the altar with us.
Any advice? Maybe already married folks have seen what works?
