Mark is dead right. Let the bride take care of it. If I see a host of "photographers" behind me, I will position everyone but not make final corrections. Let everyone get the pictures out of their system and then sit down. The bride will tell everyone to put their cameras away and let the "pro" do their job. It works.
However, I kinda like the approach Padre mentioned.

So you take your shots and then turn and say, "paparazzi get your photos". They are usually amused and gladly enter into the agreement.
