I think lots know now that I've recently got married and am currently on honeymoon. I would like your opinions on this - we haven't had the official wedding photos yet obviously as we are still abroad however my SIL who came out for the wedding has posted wedding pictures she took on Facebook. I'm a bit miffed and feel she should have asked first. I have absolutely no intention of saying anything but don't you think this is a bit off? maybe I'm wrong?
awww she's probably really exited for you and didnt think about whether you would mind.
Enjoy the rest of your honeymoon & dont let it cross your mind ever again.
Your SIL took the photos and as she owns the copyright, legally she can do as she likes with them. But you will have proper professional photos which should be far better. What ever you do, do not put the official photos on facebook.
Facebook is often a problem, I posted on here a while back where there was a serious accident near me. A lot of people saw it but no one called 999 they just posted it on Facebook. Luckily a shop keeper heard about it and called 999.
EDDIE51: It's probably best they didn't call 999, if they did have the brain to think of doing that I don't think I'd want to trust them to relay the correct detailed information - location, severity and once again the location which you always repeat at the end of the phone call.
Everyone knows that in a situation like that you always call them - they'd much rather have to repeat to loads of random people "Someone has already reported that sir/madam" than attend a scene late and lose a life. Not only that, it's a way of gathering witnesses (call tracing) if they leave the scene after making the call.
Carakeel and myself often post pictures on FB but we always ask each other before posting!
Nothing wrong with FB, it just needs respect from yourself and your friends.
it isn't the site that is the problem, its the problem of who you have on your friends list. I have used FB since its launch, I have never had a single issue or problem with it.
1st of all, congrats to you both and 2nd, yes, I think she was in the wrong. I would never do FB or that Twit lot. Your life is your PRIVATE affair. If she wanted to post pics of herself then ok I suppose , but not pics of you.
I'm not going to say anything and am at most niggled not bothered. I know they're her photos to do as she wants I just think it's poor etiquette. Thanks for all replies, I had expected a cross section of views.
Well that's interesting, I would have posted them and not for a second even considered that it might annoy someone. Maybe sister in law is the same as me, she would prob be surprised and horrified to learn you are upset.
She would be surprised Iggy. We are talking pictures of our ceremony, before we had seen a single one, on FB in the UK. If you'd do it and others then I'm just a bit old fashioned clearly. No big deal :-)
jno jnr and bride are honeymooning, and both have sworn off FB and Twitter while away, for precisely the reason VHG mentions: it's not a good idea to tell the world your house is empty.
I used to know a newspaper columnist who always wrote extra columns in advance to have published while he was away on holidays, because he didn't want the paper to aplogise for his absence by saying "McGillicuddy is away for three weeks". Same reason.
