To be annoyed that friend shared pics of my wedding before I got chance

I am really in two minds about this so prepared to be told that I am being ridiculously precious! I very recently got married and some friends from a friendship group weren't able to attend. One of these friend, Friend A, has mentioned that another mutual friend, Friend B, has sent her some pictures of my wedding.

I am feeling a bit...well miffed that Friend B has sent on pictures of my wedding to Friend A and other mutual friends before I had chance to Sad I wanted to be able to send the photos round to my friends and tell them all about the day, and feel a bit sulky that Friend B has pipped me to the post. If it's relevant, Friend B has emailed the photos to Friend A and others, it's not as though she's seen them in person and would have been asked to show them some photos. No photos on Facebook or anything like that, again if that's relevant.

I know this really isn't a big deal on the grand scheme of things and I'm probably being really precious to even feel vaguely bothered by it, but I keep having this niggling feeling of annoyance that Friend B went ahead and showed my photos to our friends before I have.

Sooo. Am I being ridiculous and need to just get over myself? Am I mad for even being bothered by this?

If the photos were up on FB before you left the church (or other venue) which is what happened at my wedding then YANBU. Private email is fine. I can understand your frustration though.
I was pissed that most of my photos of walking back down the aisle were ruined by everyone standing in the aisle taking photos wth their phones.

If they're her "snaps" of your wedding then you are being a bit U. They can't replace the "official" photos which you will send. If she's sent the "official" ones before you did then YANBU. If that makes sense.

I actually think YANBU because I would feel the same way. It may be petulant, it may be silly, but it was MY day and I wanted to be the one to share my pictures!

I actually specifically requested that no one put up any photos on FB before me, as I have family up and down the country who couldn't make it.
I also didn't want there to be any chance of my 'dad' seeing them seeing as he couldn't be bothered to turn up for the wedding long story short he is a tw*t I am now NC with

Our photographer was great though and emailed over a couple of shots on the night when he got home so we could post them first thing next morning.
After that I didn't care as long as they weren't awful shots haha

That said everyone will still want to see your photos and hear about the day from you, so don't let it take the shine off it all too much
