Picking my battles - mom is posting our "getting ready" photos...

I'm not into social media that much aka I don't need validation from internet friends or the need to show off pictures. In fact, husband and I didn't announce or engagement nor did we post any wedding pictures. My mom (on the other hand) is opposite. We had an unplugged ceremony & she still had someone take pictures and tried to sneak it on facebook by posting it through my dad's account. I asked her to take it down and she's upset bc she really has to show it off. I just saw her upload pictures of my bridesmaids and I while we were getting ready (she's only in like 2).

My sister told me to pick and choose my battles... is this one battle worth fighting over?

And again, I find it weird that she has to post these pictures when she's not even in them and she's not the one getting married? It's embarrassing, actually. Who wants to see pictures of us at 5 in the morning, looking like zombies?

    I personally don't care who saw pictures and didn't limit who posted what. But we posted a lot of pictures too.

    Honestly I think you should let her have it. I understand that you want your privacy, but in the grand scheme of things no one really cares about your pictures. The reward of your mom’s (albeit silly) joy is greater than any harm IMO. People will just know you got married, they won’t inspect the pictures. People frankly don’t care.
