re: Weddings that "ban" cell phones

It's their wedding. If you don't like it, don't go. Simple as that.

What if you have kids at home and there is an emergency, but your phone was banned? Now you have a dead kid and the blood is on the hands of the bride.

I went to one last year that had a sign up at the reception with a hashtag on it, and asked people to add that to any pictures they post. Seems that would be the more normal thing these days, instead of an outright ban. But last I checked, this was America, and we can do whatever we want. I'm not leaving my phone in the car for some bridezilla on a power trip. I have two kids that would be staying with a sitter or my mother in law. Even if my wife doesn't take her phone somewhere, which happens a good bit, I always have mine in case we need to be reached.

And it can't be said enough, fall weddings should be banned, not cell phones.
