Poll of sorts

Do you bring your cell phone with you to a wedding?

I don't. But I imagine those who do, do so because they have children and in case they are needed by the babysitter. 

But part 2: Would you go on FB from your phone and change your status to "At the wedding in XX. Congrats Mr and Mrs GettingMarried" ?

I took my phone to a wedding last year. I took pictures and posted them to FB. I may have changed my status but I can't remember. Mind you during the wedding itself my phone was in the car but it came out for the reception.

I took mine to a recent family, but only because H wasn't with me and was working, and in case anything happened I wanted to be able to be contacted.

Some of my other ridiculous family members took pictures throughout the wedding and posted on FB on their phones. Most of the pictures weren't even of the couple getting married, but of themselves.

I do bring my phone.  I haven't posted anything on fb while at the wedding/wedding reception though.

I guess this is the norm now.

I love my iPhone a lot but I find that people are too attached to their phones now.

I fall into that catergory. I try to use mine too often, but I'll still jump on FB or whatnot and catch up. That being said though, I would only be on my phone at a wedding to possibly "toast" the bride and groom and even then I wouldn't do it except when there isnt something going on, like cocktail hour.

DH posted pictures on his facebook during our reception.

Would I? No.

Would my mom? Yes. And it drives me crazy.  I swear we can't get through a single conversation without her referencing something from Facebook. Often, it's a play-by-play of "So and so just posted..."  Last Thanksgiving we had to make a no phones at the table rule.  Seriously.

I pretty much don't go anywhere without my phone. Not that I'm online with it, or that it takes great pictures, I'm just used to having it. I would think having it out or the ringer on at a ceremony would be pretty tacky, but during the "fun" parts of a reception would be neat to get the guest perspective.

I would take my cell phone, but I take it everywhere. I'd turn it to silent though during the ceremony. And I don't think it's ever a good idea to put up a status advertising that you aren't at home. That's just asking for trouble.

Yes.  Depends on the couple, TBH.

I had a friend update her FB status while in the church for Oisin's christening.

Yes but I make sure he volume is off and don't use it. No, I wouldn't update my FB status but I don't do that often anyway.

My phone goes everywhere with me because it lives in my purse.  I can't imagine taking it out for any certain occasion.  Of course it goes on silent and I'm not ON it or anything.

I probably wouldn't go to the trouble of  changing my fb status at the wedding.  I think people who update every little thing (for ex. I despise the "check in" feature) are aw-y.

I take mine everywhere I go, but I turn it off during weddings or other important things. I don't have internet on my phone yet (August! Woot!) so I haven't done that before either.

However, a friend of mine did just that today - took a pic with his phone of the wedding set-up by a lake, and made his status "wedding in waiting."

I don't really think there's anything wrong with it... it's a new age and technology seems to be everything to people.

I do, whether the kids and/or DH are there or not.  That said, it's on silent (vibrate if the kids are with a sitter and it might be crucial for them to reach me), and I wouldn't update Facebook during the ceremony.  *Maybe* during the reception, or the down time in between, but not while AT the ceremony. 

I also think I've posted on here before about how annoying I find it when people constantly have their cell phones glued to their faces/hands/ears/whatever, so my answer probably comes as no surprise.

This.  I probably wouldn't update FB while I was at the reception, but I might post a congrats like that in my status either on the way to the wedding or when I left the reception.

I always have my phone with me, but for something like a wedding, it's turned off. At the reception, though, there's a good chance I'm taking pictures on my phone. I don't generally update my FB status until the whole thing is over, if even then.
