One mobile phone too many

 Usually, before a celebrant begins a wedding ceremony he or she asks that the guests switch off their mobile phones. 

At this particular wedding ceremony it was the marriage celebrant who hung on to her mobile throughout the whole wedding ceremony.

Why? Because instead of printing out the wedding ceremony in large, easy to read font, the celebrant chose to read the whole wedding ceremony from her mobile.

How successful was this? Not very.

1...She gave apologies from a number of invited guests unable to attend the wedding. The people she named were, in fact, sitting right in front of her.

2...Welcomed by name family members of the bride and groom attending the wedding. Wrong names again.

3...Mentioned a very close relative who had passed away very recently - except she got that name wrong too.

4...At times, in order to see, she held her mobile so close to her face that she appeared to be talking to the phone rather than the people in front of her.

Either this celebrant was incompetent, or the mobile phone was more of a nuisance than a helpful tool.

Marriage celebrants in Australia are charging fees up to $1,500. A couple should expect a much more professional job than this particular couple received from their mobile-phone-attached marriage celebrant. 

Let me know what you think, and please share this post.
