Any 140-character loving guests attending the April 29 wedding William and Kate will be sorely disappointed, as signal-blocking technology will be installed at Westminster Abbey to nix cellphone use.
According to Yahoo, the idea was suggested by members of the royal family and confirmed by police and security. They hope nixing phones and tweeting will cut down on news photos and videos featuring cellphone-toting guests, distracting ringtones and info about the wedding getting out ahead of the ceremony.
The absence of Twitter at the actual event doesn’t mean the web will go silent, obviously — in fact, talk of the Royal Wedding is growing rapidly on Facebook and Twitter.
And, hey, at least no one will be fired during the event — a Buckingham Palace guard was already sacked from his royal wedding day duties after calling the bride-to-be a “stuck up cow” and “posh bitch” on Facebook.
No Tweets Allowed at the Royal Wedding
