Tweeting/Facebooking at/after the wedding

[WebLady]

I saw this topic on the Ask the Wedding Maven advice section on OneWed today - Ask the Wedding Maven: Don't Tweet My Wedding (http://www.onewed.com/wedding-advice/2010/10/14/ask-wedding-maven-dont-tweet-my-wedding)

Are you worried about/do you care if people post about your wedding at or after the wedding before you have a chance to yourself?

[KMS]

Nah it wouldn't bother me at all personally.

Hopefully they would be posting about how great it is/was! No, I wouldn't be mad - in fact I'd be happy that my wedding is awesome enough to post about!!!

It wouldn't have bothered me

[acidcookie]

Really? I wouldn't be upset at all! People could even share pics as it's happening!

LOL i posted a status update on facebook while we were driving from the church to the picture location :laugh2:

so tweet/facebook/etc. away!

Will and I actually posted that we were getting married "today" and then set our accounts to forward responses to our status messages to the phones. While we were in the midst of getting ready (nerve wracking!) we were also receiving these texts that had the well wishes people were posting on our facebook. It was so nice because it cut the stress and I swear to you, our phones went off until we turned them off! I mean, that our wedding was small was a well known thing, and I never heard anyone being mad that they weren't invited (which I do think would have come back to me).

Also, in my social circle, it seems that (and I do this and it appears that others are) people refer to each other or enjoying the company of others not to be exclusive, but to be like, "Thanks to the host!" or to communicate to the subject that they care or something like that. So it wouldn't have offended me. The bride in the Ask Maven question writes about her wedding like it's a top secret affair. I don't know... I mean, friends will likely upload pics to facebook and I'd be excited to see them, knowing that professional pics take awhile! It strikes me as a control issue.

I thought what everyone posted was really sweet. And I was thrilled when people posted pictures because I thought I looked pretty darn good and didn't mind that being shown off!

We had a webcam set up at the Reception so friends from the US and Australia could see us. They were people we "met" in the same Chatroom i met DH. So it had to be done for those who were there at the beginning of our relationship.

I think some screen shots were taken and put online somewhere. I don't FB or use Twitter so it's not something i do. But it wouldn't bother me if friends had.

Like Mitch, I don't FB or twit/tweet/tw@t, but I wouldn't care if somebody else did. ;)

[mitch]

Like Mitch, I don't FB or twit/tweet/tw@t,

:rofl:

Good one Gwen. That's tickled me.

[savepaws]

hehe Gwen!

I wouldn't have minded one bit! It sure wasn't any kind of secret.

[vivchan17]

I totally agree with everyone - I wouldn't mind at all! I'd be itching to see pictures of the night since I certainly wouldn't be taking any myself and pro photos can take a while. I love the idea of forwarding FB to your cell on your wedding day - its so nice to receive well-wishes and hear from those who couldn't be present on your special day.

[Docsgirl]

I didn't mind. We had so many well wishes being mixed in with the pictures that people were posting and tagging us in that I stopped checking my updates for awhile until the calm restored itself. ;)

Nah, I didn't mind people posting on Facebook after the wedding. We were having fun the next day watching pictures being posted. I only put up professional pictures, so mine weren't up for quite awhile after the wedding.

[f77g4]

I didnt mind at all. In fact I was happy to check the next day and see everyone that responded to my status update from really early in the morning that "I'm getting married today!" Plus I was anxious to see some pics to see what it looked like from other people's angles.

We also had Skype at our wedding for my cousin in South Korea. It was only for part of the reception but it was pretty cool. He took some very blurry screen shots but the idea and thought behind it was cool.
