No photos on social media?

Elizabeth, I am sorry to hear about the first 5 years. I hope that those in your life recognize the love between you and your fiancé and celebrate that. Best wishes.

Thanks @Kathleen.

No, it's rude of people to be presumptuous and post photos from someone else's private event.

I asked that no one post photos of us until after the ceremony. I didn't want to spoil my dress to DH or guests prior to ceremony. Only 1 person didn't listen but people will do what they want even if you ask :-/

Whether they tag you or not the info will be out there. But why do you care about what others think?

I am having a "small" wedding and only those close to us are invited. No I don't care my Aunt, uncle or cousin find out and get upset. They don't talk to me all year, so why coming over at my expense?

You are hosting an intimate wedding not the state fair. Just my opinion.

OP, I get it. I'm estranged from my father and didn't really want him or his siblings to see my photos.

I asked those connected with his side on social media to block them from any photos they shared and they understood totally. Absolutely nobody found it odd.

Not everything needs to be shared on Facebook, and it doesn't give you a Beyoncé complex to prefer that your life not be shared out that way.

I wasn't a diva because I didn't want to share the joy of my wedding with my asshole father. I shared photos on my own private account.

My friends and I have a etiquette rule that you don't post pictures of the bride until she does first.

@Jay Farrell....couldn't have put it better myself! You don't have to be Beyonce to want privacy

I tell all my couples that their privacy level is theirs to decide and control. The mere fact that your second cousin decided to bring a cellphone and post your photos doesn't make it right, nor does it give them the right to post your pix before you do. It's YOUR event and YOUR call.

I hate digital shit, I really do.

I don’t want my private life on social media. Didn’t announce my engagement. Mother in law did. So annoyed and posted shower pics when asked not too. The thing was u couldn’t tell was shower but was a pic of my fiancé and I at a table with her. What did you decide to do at your wedding? Because I really don’t want my church pics posted as I’m getting married in a different church than I’m from and family won’t be there and the next day the other ceremony and reception. I mainly don’t want pics of the bride and groom or nieces and nephew on social media. Some ppl that I’m friendly with but couldn’t invite haven’t been invited or know since not on social media. I got engaged and we are getting married three months later.

I've been toying with this as well...but to a slightly different degree. I hate going to events and seeing a see of cell phones blocking my view. Or viewing wedding photos where there's an overzealous relative with a cell phone (or worse, ipad!) in the shot.
