Are you a wedding guest this summer? If so this post is for you!
Yesterday I was reminded of the importance of switching my phone off. It wasn’t a wedding but my son’s sports day, No Phones where Allowed.
Everyone was present at sports days watching and cheering the children on, not just their own but those who fought to get to the finish line. No hiding behind the screen capturing a moment instead of being in the moment.
You have been invited to celebrate the wedding of your friends or family. The couple truly want you to be at their wedding and be fully present especially at the ceremony.
The couple will have booked an amazing photographer and videographer to capture the every moment of the ceremony from when the bride enters the ceremony. Unless you have been asked to take photos or video, you don’t need your phone.
Hiding behind your phone you miss the moments you are there for. The first time the groom sees his bride, I still cry even today after all the weddings I have worked on. The vows, the exchanging of rings, the waking back up the aisle now a married couple.
The photographer will thank you, as they look down the aisle and see everyone watching and not phone screens.
Oh and just on the point of the photographer, they are there to do a job and capture the day. If they have just set up a shoot please wait until the photographer has finished before take your own picture.
No Hiding Behind Phones be Truly Present and Enjoy Every Moment In Real Life!
