I know its illegal to use it but bridezilla (thank god not mine) wants to make sure no cell phone goes off during her wedding.

Sounds stupid but it does make sense, when its your moment and someone's phone goes off.

Have you been to a wedding when you're asked to check your phone ?

Have the usher people make a comment when they seat people to please put their phones on vibrate or silent.

Make sure to have the record scratch/skip noise for when someone's cell phone DOES go off. And ensure everyone in the pews, and at the altar, just stares at the person screwing around with their phone.

Seeing as she knows its illegal, sounds like she just wants a last minute lesbian fling, jail style!

Honestly not even sure how much it would cost to get a jammer with that kind of range. I think it easier just to ask everyone to shut their phones off as they enter.

pretty much zero, unless she's stupid enough to say "HAY I PUT A JAMMER OVER THERE!" and even then i doubt anyone's going to do anything.


has she considered letting someone's go off and she can be angry at that person for the rest of her life?

Make sure you say, 'The bride has requested all guests to turn their cell phones off' if you want people to take you seriously.

The best thing to do is plant a fake guest at the wedding, pre-arrange with the bride that you will call this plant's cell phone just before the ceremony begins, then have the plant loudly and forcefully ejected from the ceremony. Bonus points for fake-tazing and fake-pepper-spraying.

That should prevent anyone else from leaving their cell phones on.

I'm pretty sure you can't even find one if they're illegal.

I'd do this.
Just get ushers to warn everybody.

I'd think it's common sense to put it on silent anyway, ringing phones during formal or religious events is a no-no.

There will always be a slim chance though.

That'll likely be about as effective as the "please silence your cell phone" message in the beginning of movies. People are lazy and rude. The best you can do is hope that everyone is considerate enough to double-check that their phones are off before sitting down.

Just make plans to completely single out and humiliate anybody who yaps on their phone and completely halt everything while you wait for them. Problem resolved.

Let the guests know that if their cell phone goes off that she'll send the videographer's bill to them.

The little ones work for a few feet, good for bus or maybe the theatre. No way they will cover a church.

Why not have live music and have a musician like this one instead?

That would be hilarious to have in a wedding video forever, embarrass the dumbass as the same time! :cool:

No one is commenting on how CRAZY this bride sounds? Holy hell. Who but some crazy control freak does this?

I just went to a wedding. The DJ kindly said, "Please shut off your cells." That was great. And no phones rang at all the weddings I've been to without such announcement.

Even if it does ring, who gives a fvck? No big deal.

Or how about "the couple has requested", since I would assume there's going to be some guy there getting married to her.

Doesn't sound crazy at all. You've got a videographer that you spent a few thousand dollars on, you've got thousands and thousands of dollars tied up in the wedding. One take, that's it. Who wants an obnoxious ring tone going off in the background. Any time they watch their wedding ceremony, they'll always have to listen to that ring tone in the background.

I'd say the bride is intelligent enough to realize that people are rude, and people like you think that it's no big deal, when it IS a big deal.

I'm with Dr. Pizza on this. Sounds like he, also, had to foot the bill for a wedding.
