Facebook stalking of friends, friends wedding photos....

Yep, at the moment, I facestalk photos of weddings... I am always curious about the kind of wedding other people have

Completly guilty of this hehe

Yup guilty as!

Ha ha, i thought it was only me that done that!! ?

I read an interesting little article in a mag recently, about whether a bride would request that guests do not post any of her wedding photos on Facebook/etc, even to the extent of including a note in the invitation to the effect of "We politely request that you do not post digital images of our wedding on social networking or photosharing sites".

I had mixed feelings. Initially, I thought it ludicrous - surely the person who takes the photo is free to do with it as they wish? And then I remember the times I have "untagged" a less-than-flattering shot of myself posted by a friend and began to wonder if it there was something (albeit motivated by vanity) to it?

Thoughts?

*Proudly holds hands up*

Guilty!!!

I too am guilty of stalking not just wedding pics but any old occasion. It's a standing joke if im on the PC and my OH walks in the the room he says "Who are you stalking now" , , ? My answer is that they are put there for people to see.

I won't mind people putting our wedding pics on but I would like to have chance to put mine on first, , , ,

(double standards I hear thee shout), , ?

Totally guilty!

I'm also guilty as charged!

Yes seems perfectly normal to me to be curious. ?

Me too!

Im going to have a polite word with my guests, since there is only going to be around 26 of us it shouldnt take too long, I am going to ask them not to put pictures of my wedding on Facebook, there are certain people who would have access to them and I dont want them to see them. If I had wanted them to see my wedding I would have invited them!

OH doesnt even have facebook so I know he'd be furious if he knew our pics were on there!

That said, I love looking at wedding pictures from everyone else even people I dont know haha! hypocritical I know but its my day so what the hell!

I look at everyone's - friends of friends etc. I even found myself wondering about buying a wedding mag today so I could look at some of the dresses in there *obsessed*

I didn't want my official pics on fb, but haven't got a problem with other ones. Actually unusually for me I liked all the pics people up of our wedding - perhaps everyone was judicious about which ones they put up!

Yep, guilty as charged! he he

I am a primary school teacher who routinely has to turn down friend requests from pupils and parents. The last thing I want is for my wedding photos to be a discussed on the playground by the parents neither do I want my children to see me. With this in mind I included this in my invitations

Could I please ask that photographs are not uploaded onto Facebook or any other networking site unless you have the highest security settings as I have no doubt that my extremely resourceful, curious and computer literate pupils will do their best to find 'Miss *************'s' photos on line.

Having said that I am completely guilty of looking through other peoples. TBH it's not other people I have a problem with it is just the pupils and parents but I can't block one lot without the other.

I am guilty of it too!

However I too would not like my photos on facebook unless I could limit who could see them as there are a group of people I would not like to be able to see any part of our day.

So I guess its more of a personal thing really but I have to say I had never even thought about it until now.

I have put a mention in our information sheet that i don't want pics of us on facebook as we very rarely if ever put pics of ourselves on facebook..... and i don't know i don't want the world and his wife to see them!

I'm 100% guilty of the facebook stalking of other weddings.

At first I thought that I definitely didn't want my pics on facebook - but then I culled all my friends down to only those I know and see and my internet weirdie acquaintances who are mostly from Hitched anyway. I'd like my old friends who I couldn't invite to see my pics and I don't mind if others want to stalk my wedding. But it sounds like I'm in the minority!

Ooh, totally guilty of doing this!!

I'm not bothered if pictures of our wedding end up on Facebook, though I hate it when people put mushy, or twee captions with the photos! A friend had been to a wedding and the photos she took were lovely, but the captions made me want to stick my fingers down my throat ?

Guilty as! I may have added a few hitchers to nosey at their wedding photos! (I do blatently tell them my purpose of the friend request and say who I am on here! - In my defence I have had hitchers do the same in return!)

Tinks - that is the wholeeeeee reason why I will not join facebook, my friends dont understand but its just something I dont want to get involved with.

Our guests posted pictures of our wedding on their page and I wasnt comfortable with it in the slightest but being the netgeek I am they would have just laughed in my face had I asked them to remove them...

Everyone is different but I for one have no problem with my photo's being on Facebook, i'll be the first to upload them! ?

Facebook is a social networking site so i've never really understood the people who are on there who don't then wish to use it for their own social networking and sharing? I also work in a school so understand all those implications.

I do believe you can if you want to spend the time, actually choose who can see your photos from your friends and who cant- my friend has done this with pictures of her kiddies. I can see them but someone else who is 'friends' with her cannot.

I We are getting married abroad, and then we are having a party the weekend after we get back with all our full wedding attire etc... So i have asked all the guests who are coming abroad to not post anything online until after the event, as we want everything to be a surprise and we are having a slide show of the photo's too. So although people are free to do what they like with photos they have taken, It would only be fair fro them to wait a while if you asked them.

It's one of the main reasons I stay on facebook LOL

If I know one of my friends is going to a wedding I make sure I check back to see the photos, most of the time I have no idea who the B&G are but I love having a nosey at the pictures!

Day after my SIL2B's wedding I was busily uploading and tagging as a way to distract me from my raging hangover ?

I'm not on facebook anymore - I was sick of being dragged into domestics and I got sick of hearing myself moan about what ppl were using facebook for. H2B also deleted his facebook account as his ex kept sending him messages and trying to add him as a friend. We're asking guests not to put any photo's on facebook - don't want friends of friends (who we don't know) seeing pics of our wedding day! We're only havin about 20 guests and that's the way we want to keep it. But each to their own I suppose...!

Oh yeh thats a given!

WSS and i love a good nosey at peoples pics when im bored ?

Guilty as charged !!

Lightmachine, is it "resurrect old threads day" today

?

Won't bother me if guests put pictures on Facebook before we get our "official album" - I'm totally sure they won't be as good as the professional pictures, which when we get them I'll put them on our website "forever" and don't care who sees them. It's not like they can't find other pictures of me/us online.

All the time!
