PRE – Ceremony
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome, we are expecting that our Bride will be arriving in the next few minutes, if I could please ask that if you have a mobile phone you now switch it off or put it on silent mode.

I also ask respectfully on behalf of _groomname_ and _bridename_ that you please refrain from posting photographs from the ceremony on any social media sites today, until they have indeed had the opportunity to do so themselves.  Your co-operation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
