Dear Queenie,
I was at a wedding recently when somebody’s cell phone started to ring right in the middle of the ceremony. The preacher just looked at the person and asked if they wanted him to wait while they answered the call.
Afterwards some of the other guests thought it was all a big joke, but there were some who said the preacher should have just ignored it.
Queenie, what do you say?—Wedding guest
Dear Wedding guest,
I say the person whose cell phone rang owes everyone a big apology. The phone should have been turned off during the ceremony, or, if its owner is someone like a doctor who has to be on call at all times, it should have been set to vibrate quietly instead of ringing. And I hope that if the person actually took the call, he or she had the courtesy to leave the room to do so.
