Friend not talking to me because I shared a photo from her Wedding

What a dickhead she is.

My thoughts exactly. I can’t believe that we -as a society - have become so deluded and narcissistic.

Unless she is a celebrity who had a deal with Hello for the picture exclusive then this is madness.

The big reveal is the wedding day!

The only people who would be remotely interested in the photos would’ve been at the wedding. I have never cared about seeing anyone’s wedding pix

someone needs to take this bridezilla and explain that this is not a thing.

Your friend is being an absolute twat

Nepo baby Beckham, that's certainly a come down for the Hello readers.

Well you did reveal her dress.
I don't use SM. I think it is ridiculous that ppl load photos at events for likes, just enjoy yourself. For those who do use SM it would be an issue.

Surely anybody remotely interested in seeing her wedding dress would have been invited. What a ridiculous woman.

Bet they're divorced by 2030.

I can also understand why the bride would like to post a picture of her choosing to show her dress on SM.
I hate having my photo taken by other people and am not photogenic so I would have been the same on that score. If she doesn’t like the pic and it’s the first in her dress I can see why she’d be upset.

Weddings are a minefield these days.

@ByTidyHare I wouldn’t worry, your friend is being a drama Queen.

Who's your friend 'revealing' her dress too exactly?! Surely all those important to her, attended the wedding, and saw her dress in person?! Is she a celebrity or an 'influencer', who needs to keep her millions of fans informed on Instagram?!!! I have never heard of anything so ridiculous. The important part is the vows she's making to her now husband, not professional photos of her taken in her wedding dress! If you were told not to upload pictures, I'm not sure why you thought it only applied to the ceremony, and nothing else. Common sense should have told you, that it applied to all photos, taken at any point during the day. You screwed up, and are clearly mortified you made an error of judgement. You apologised, there's very little else you can do. Your friend will get over her disappointment, in time and if she doesn't, then there's nothing you can do.

I’m with your friend. It’s inappropriate to post pictures of someone’s wedding - with them in the picture - before they do so. It’s different if you took a picture of yourself and your other half/ a guest only for example. But bride and groom in the picture - no no.

If she doesn’t have kids already she’ll be insufferable when she’s pregnant/gives birth. She’s done you a favour really. Imagine her on her honeymoon, having literally just got married to presumably the love of her life, still brooding over the fact you “ruined the big reveal of her dress and shit”. Poor groom.

I thought it was just good manners to not post a picture from someone else's wedding until they had already done so.

I don't understand how you got confused about what she meant, it seems very clear to me but also she should accept your apology and get over it imo.

We wanted to be the first to share pictures of our wedding on social media so requested no one shared photos until we had. DH and I then took a nice selfie before the wedding breakfast and posted it.

If someone had gotten there before us, I’d have been disappointed but would never have fallen out with anyone over it. You’ve apologised and taken it down so she needs to get over it.

I’m on the friend’s side here. I had a very small, low key wedding and everyone sent me all the wedding pictures they took without any going on social media. I didn’t have this as a rule, but it was great as I could pick a lovely selection and post them to friends/colleagues who weren’t there but still wanted to see how the day went. I wouldn’t be angry if they had posted, unless I had said please don’t as only a dick would that.

Also, I wouldn’t post pictures of anyone without asking them, that’s always been a rule of mine as some people can be very sensitive to how they look in photos.

The "reveal" to who exactly? Surely anyone who would remotely care was at the wedding?

Hilarious- who does she think actually cares about her dress? Surely the people that matter saw it at the wedding?!

Being honest I never upload photos of a wedding (or baby) until the bride or mum has posted themselves. It’s just an unwritten rule. You were particularly unreasonable as they’d already asked that no photos were shared on socials.
Your friend is being a bit precious, yes, but you went against her wishes so I can understand why she’s annoyed

This. Mine is different I have not showed any photos of my wedding on SM as I am Nc with my family. Posting a picture of her in her dress is a bit off if you were asked not to do this beforehand!

What rule? I've been to two weddings in the last twelve months and there were no announcements of this type because the brides aren't precious idiots.

OP your friend sounds like very hard work, if she doesn't get over it, it doesn't sound like she's much loss as a friend. Thankfully I can't imagine anyone I'm friends with behaving like this.

Well, she did ask people not to post photos of the day and last time I checked, the day meant the whole wedding day.
So yeah, you just decided that the request didn't apply to you.

I think she's being precious with the whole reveal thing tbh but it's what they wanted and you should have respected that. She was crystal clear in her request so I can only assume that you wanted to go against it for some reason and so pretended that when she said "no photos to social media of the day" that she meant some photos of parts of the day.

Well Beckham junior's wedding was in hello as was Simone Biles' to name a couple I can remember in the last few years.

what reveal? Surely that's during the actual wedding?

Surely the people at the wedding would have seen her in her wedding dress or was she wearing something else for the ceremony and "the dress" was a ta-da moment just for social media likes?

I agree 👏🏼 for all we know the brides strong reaction to this could be a build up of OP doing similar things in the past.

"there was an announcement not to upload anything to social media"

Anything. You ignored the instructions and the bride is rightfully pissed off at you. FAFO.
