Should You Have an Unplugged St. Thomas Wedding_

http://www.weddingstheislandway.com You're standing in the sunshine of the gorgeous outdoor wedding of your dreams. The flowers are draped in a beautiful altar arrangement. Your partner is looking lovingly into your eyes, saying vows that will change your life forever. All of your friends and family are sitting and…staring down at the LCD screens of their smart phones. After the wedding, you get your photos and excitedly flip through them…only to find that in many shots, your favorite friends and family are staring at their devices. People are smiling when posing, but other than that, mostly seem distracted. You wonder, with all the people, expense and lead up to get to your wedding…were the people that attended even present at your wedding? Welcome to the modern day wedding. While being completely unplugged may feel like too much for you, consider requesting that devices be turned off during the ceremony. Allow the photographer to do their job, or ask one or two relatives to handle photographs to keep everyone else free to enjoy your ceremony. That way, you won't end up with a lot of photos of your guests looking at their phones or cameras...and your guests will be freed up to enjoy the wedding ceremony.
