A new survey has revealed that while most people are glued to their social media channels on a normal day, a quarter said they would consider a social media ban for guests on their special day.
The study by One4all compared wedding traditions with new trends including social media habits and changing names.

Almost 60% take on their new spouse’s name while just under a quarter apparently opt to keep their own name. Ten per cent said they would take a double-barrel approach while a mere 2% would merge theirs with their other half’s, Dawn O’Porter-style.
And it’s not just the bride and groom who are enjoying the romance, with 24% of guests admitting to having a romantic encounter at a wedding they attended. Almost three quarters of these said it was with a fellow guest while 21% admitted to wooing a member of the bridal party.
More than half of those asked said they would happily attend a do without a plus-one.
Three in four people said they would be willing to leave the kids at home for ceremonies with a no-children policy while only 2% would consider not going to a wedding if it meant taking a day off work.
