The suggestion that couples have their friends document their weddings 
with their camera phones is little different than those who put a bunch 
of disposable cameras on the tables at the reception and collected them 
to document the reception.   Sometimes to augment the hired 
photographer, sometimes in place of one.  No idea is new, it's only a 
variation of an old one.  The human race is doomed.

Yeah that makes sense. You're a pro wedding photographer, and your one??? DSLR 
is in the shop, so you show up with your phone. That will make the bride happy.

Rich:

You won’t be able to eliminate all noise, but it will help, and some
grain is a-okay in my books. A little bit of grain and even some
motion blur gives photos that old film look.

Candids can be tricky because your iPhone doesn’t work as quickly as
your DSLR will.
Since that’s the case, don’t be afraid of motion blur. You can still
capture the mood, and the blur may make your photos look more like
film, which is always cool.

This is the kind of article that should end up steering more
brides-to-be to professional photogs -- for their second wedding. :-)

Right! We may be screwing everything else up all over again, but at 
least this time we're going to get good photographs.

Offer to shoot my wedding with a phone, and I'll offer to shoot you 
with, uh, well, let's just say, *not* a phone. :-)
