"I was flipping through my virtual wedding album for this post when I noticed one of my guests partaking in some annoying wedding behavior. Why, for the love of God, do wedding guests try to snap pictures on their cell phones during the ceremony? I can sort of forgive the people with cameras&amp;amp;#8212;my mom on the right and my friend Melissa on the left&amp;amp;#8212;if they&amp;amp;#8217;re in the front few rows. Sure, I had a professional photographer, but maybe they&amp;amp;#8217;ll catch a blink-and-you&amp;amp;#8217;ll-miss-it moment. But really, unidentifiable guest with the cell phone? Put it away already! Even if something priceless happens, you&amp;amp;#8217;re not capturing it on your stinking flip phone! Can&amp;amp;#8217;t you just sit there and watch the ceremony? And I&amp;amp;#8217;m not just annoyed because it was my wedding ceremony. (I wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t taking stock of my guests&amp;amp;#8217; behavior while saying my vows!) It&amp;amp;#8217;s actually more annoying at other people&amp;amp;#8217;s weddings, when I can&amp;amp;#8217;t see because some spaz is waving his cell phone in the air. Right below the cell phone waver on the annoying wedding guest list is the guy seated halfway back who&amp;amp;#8217;s sitting down but raising his camera in the air and sort of aiming it toward the people getting married. He&amp;amp;#8217;s not looking through the viewfinder, mind you. Just clicking away with his arms straight up, hoping to catch something more interesting than the heads of the people in the front 15 rows. Why can&amp;amp;#8217;t people just let the professionals do the work?! I&amp;amp;#8217;m not saying wedding guests should never take pictures&amp;amp;#8212;some of my favorite wedding photos were taken by guests. (See below.) I&amp;amp;#8217;m just saying, if there&amp;amp;#8217;s no chance of you getting a decent shot, sit back and enjoy the moment! As a guest, do you find it annoying when people are waving cell phones and cameras during the ceremony? Or am I the only one Type A enough to even notice this?
