And if one does decide to take gear, again, the respectful thing to do would be ask the paid professional.

Quite wrong! The respectful thing to do would be ask the paying couple!

Why, I think one should ask both the couple and the pro. For the couple, it is their show; for the pro, it is his/her workplace.

The last time I checked the couple hires and pays the pro. As you said it is their show so they have the final word. Pro has a workplace only because the couple decided so...

As i said before, as a working pro, in my contract and in most of my competitors contracts, we stipulate that we are to be the only photographers there. We ask the wedding party to inform the guests... I dont get bothered about the guests taking cell phone pics, but I do get bothered if it interferes and or degrades the quality of my work or previewed value of my work. That being said, the wedding party would have signed the contract, they would know, to some extent, what's allowed and whats not. If all else fails, find the photographer and ask.
