AIBU to think it's a bit weird to put your photo as a bride as as your main

[LoveforPGTipsMonkey]

profile picture on FB/Twitter? especially if you haven't just got married!
Isn't it like saying 'I'm a wife first and foremost'?

After the wedding fair enough but I think if it's there a little too long after the wedding than it looks alittle crazy to be honest.

I agree.
It's understandable if you got married within the last 5 years, but anything over that, (other than an anniversary) is teetering on the edge of batshit.

The frothing responders are largely being unreasonable and oversensitive. See how many of them you can spot on the next hot-judgemental topic thread.

Agree with LyingWitch,
there are some oversenstive people on this thread.

It makes me laugh when people shout 'stop being so judgemental'
It's bloody AIBU fgs. It's all about the judgemental!

My profile pic was taken by my friend, when someone had thrown confetti at me and I look surprised. It just captured me in a moment perfectly, all my friends said "that's so You". It was this year and I'm in total princess dress, my hair was professionally done, but I did my own makeup and eyelashes (first time I ever managed to apply a pair without looking like a drag queen). I didn't sleep the night before, so was in a bit of a daze but once the whole day started it was magical. As it's still only 6 months my FB prolly pic is my wedding day, I was thinking of changing it but after reading this thread I've decided it's staying indefinitely, and I doubt my friends will be so offended by this.

Still waiting to find out what OP and her supporters think of men with groom profile pics..... (don't worry you've been conditioned not to care)

I don't find it weird at all, as others have suggested a lot of women have their make up / hair done professionally for their wedding day so look their best. I personally have only put wedding pics up which have my husband in also.

I can see it from both sides (especially if the wedding happened within the last couple of years) but it is funny to see how irate people are getting over what is, at the end of the day, a fairly random observation.

frothing responders

first time I've come across that. It's brill.

The OP is not being very kind.

no shit.

Rose, you do realize this is AIBU?

Yes. You certainly seem to know that...

I'm so intrigued who this poor bride is.. LoveforPGTipsMonkey is she from Chester by any chance?

Yabvvvu Mabey for her, that was one of the best day of her lives, or its when she felt the most good about herself.

The OP has said that she understands if the wedding took place recently and the bride is still excited about it, or even if it happened within the last couple of years, or if it's a wedding anniversary.
But I have to agree with her that it is odd when people put a profile pic of themselves in a wedding dress, when that wedding happened years and years ago.

It's strange how the people who think it is odd aren't getting angry with those who dodn't think it's odd, but not the other way around.
Who's being unkind now Rose?

No

but it’s very weird that you are so overly invested in this persons Facebook & what/why they post photos of themselves. Sounds like you need to get off there & improve your own life so you feel less snidey towards others

Christ on a bike, you'd think the OP murdered a puppy.

Rose, you do realize this is AIBU?*

Are we no longer allowed to elaborate on why the OP is BVU?

Sinister... are you always so easily led? If someone expresses an opinion (not even about you), just obliquely, you will change course because of them? That is just so silly for an adult to even say. Nobody cares about your photo... nobody but you.

For the record, it's posters like you who make it 'them and us'. I'm not a supporter of anybody here (apart from Woolly Hugs) and I may disagree vociferously with a poster, any poster, on one thread and fervently agree with them on another. There are very few that I just won't engage with at all.

Not just to you this bit but, go and play with your chums if you can't handle other people having different opinions to you without being rude about it. This thread has struck a nerve... got that.

Wow lying what a patronising and nasty response.

Yes lying your comments have struck a nerve, only yours though. Really nasty.

By the way, do you have an opinion on men posting photos of themselves as grooms?

Sinister well that's not true is it? You've taken issue with the OP for even asking the question, writing off anybody who differs in opinion from you as a 'supporter'. That's really quite rude.

I don't much like your posts on this thread either. My posts haven't been personal and even my one to you - I've said that nobody cares about your photo. When I say 'care' I mean 'mind' or 'bothers about', if that's what upset you, it was unintentional and I'm sorry about that. Of course your photos (of whatever they are) matter to you.

Maybe I'll see you on another thread and we'll be posting alongside each other in agreement? I don't hold grudges, MN is just a pleasant distraction for me.

I've already posted further up the thread about 'grooms' and how I think it's not really comparable in the same way.

It's incredible how many people are piling on to have a go at the OP though. I don't like that. She's explained time and again and done it without being rude to the hecklers who have certainly been rude to her.

Not weird at all. Just a pic of someone looking their best.

I find it interesting (as a feminist and a former sociology student ) that so many posters assume that the op must be bitter and envious.

Mine has been my wedding picture for almost 8 years, it’s honestly the nicest picture of me and I can’t be bothered to change it!

Yes i agree. I genuinely find the overt reminders that somebody is a BRIDE, or WAS a bride a bit embarrassing. Not bitter or resentful. Men dont do it.
Why do women feel they need to show they're in a couple?

My husband has a picture from our wedding as a profile picture I don't. Men do do it.

Just as tragic for men.
