Asking for no social media pictures help

Hello

I hope I don’t sound like a bridezilla we got married last month. I don’t have any social media and my husband has only very close friends.
I asked prior to my wedding if it was ok for people to not post pictures of us on social media at all but that we were more than happy for them to post pictures of themselves etc just not of us and not name us. I know this sounds ridiculously controlling but I have a real anxiety around social media I don’t want any aspect of my life on it and I don’t want the people who use to bully me at school or people I knew years ago etc knowing everything about the most important day of my life or total strangers. I know it seems ridiculous to some people but it’s important to me. My husband can share a photo and we know exactly who will see it, whereas we don’t with a guest.
Unfortunately a guest has done just that and has taken great offence when I asked if they’d mind deleting the photos of us and our full names but keeping everything else they said I’m being unreasonable. I’m now so upset I’ve upset this guest and just wanted to see if other brides think I’m being totally unfair.
Thank you

I don’t think you are being unfair at all. It’s really disrespectful of your guest to put pictures on if you have asked them not to, however, they were probably excited and got “post happy”. Try not to be upset…. It has become a huge part of society to post every occasion online and some people just do not think x

You are absolutely not being unfair! You respectfully asked them not to do it and the fact they did is simply rude and disrespectful, you should not be upset by upsetting them, they should be mortified and be apologizing to you for this lack of respect. If it was me I would seriously consider my relationship with that person. We have the same concerns as my H2B ex wife just loves snooping at our lives, which I hate, to the point she even asked in their mediation that I unblock her on Facebook! I rarely post anything on there, but it got me thinking she has mutual friends with me who will be at our wedding and I am now paranoid about her seeing, judging and making comments about me, which I know I shouldn't care about but as women we do! We are having a sign at the venue, mentioning it in invites and asking our registrar to re confirm no photos on SM, but sadly there are some people who just don't think, I am sure it is not malicious and as Kirsty said they probably got caught up in the moment, but still, now you have asked they should remove it. Please don't waste any more time worrying about it or their feelings, enjoy your married life and concentrate on each other X

Not unfair at all. Everyone has their own wishes for social media. Unfortunately, these days people don't even think before posting on social media.

Try meeting up with your friend and explaining face to face, sometimes things get lost in translation otherwise.
