But I recently went to a modern wedding where the bride & groom asked people to take lots of pics and Instagram them so the texting I am not so serious about.<br /><br />Q2. YES! I do read everything! Sometimes I get itchy and can't wait for the next book so I placate myself with the excerpt. Otherwise I try not to read the excerpt so as to not ruin the surprise. The rest, I read!Life's Simple Pleasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13356934474620583688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-46404135638841982072013-10-21T22:18:27.139-05:002013-10-21T22:18:27.139-05:001- whoa.. that is so rude.

I've seen lots of couples with cell phones on their hands, they should be grabbing hands or something, not looking at that thing! It's useful, but is killing our sensitivity :(<br />2- Well, I read everything that's in the book. Even the editor's note if there's one. If I love it I reread it all over again lolLiss Martzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05296707055130348001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-16788799218749066602013-10-21T15:21:55.545-05:002013-10-21T15:21:55.545-05:00It is nice to see that I am not alone with this ce...It is nice to see that I am not alone with this cell phone thing.<br />I always read the front and back material.Marjorie/cenya2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08308328561121202507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-76933056784897856442013-10-20T21:09:17.184-05:002013-10-20T21:09:17.184-05:00I think it rude at any event to talk and text.

Texting is acceptable once or twice, as long as I'm not in conversation with anyone at the time.<br /><br />2. I tend to read the book summary, before reading a book. If I'm unfamiliar with the author, then I'll also read a few reviews and maybe skim the first chapter in advance.Elizabeth T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16196757202726853097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-11219452000640820482013-10-20T09:27:09.559-05:002013-10-20T09:27:09.559-05:00Q1.

I don't see anything wrong with sending off a cute pic you just snapped as long as nothing important is going on at the minute with the wedding (dinner, first dances, cutting the cake, etc.).<br />2.
