To request a photo ban at my wedding?

[Psychologika]

I am seriously thinking of asking people not to take photos of meat my upcoming wedding. For context, I am very overweight, which has happened over the past couple
Of years. Historically I have suffered with anorexia, and up until the last couple of years I have been fit and slim.

The wedding is very small, just DPs family and mine, with close friends coming to the pub after (second marriage for us both).

I'm absolutely dreading the wedding atm because I feel that I will be embarrassed by how I look, and I will have these photographs in perpetuity. The thought of them being on social media makes me feel sick.

Of course I'm happy for everyone to take photos of everyone else, just not of me. AIBU to request no photos of me and absolutely none on Facebook?

Please try and get over this and let people take photos OP, I think you'll regret it one day. Completely reasonable to ask that they don't put them on FB.
My mum was cameraphobic, there are so few photos of her. It was only when she died suddenly that I realised how few. After I had my babies I was embarrassed by how big I was so there are hardly any pictures of me with them as tiny babies. I feel really sad about that now and try my best to fight that urge to dive for cover when the camera comes out.

@Fatbridedontcare you look absolutely stunning. I promise you I won't like anywhere near this beautiful

When was the last time you had your photo taken professionally Op? I have photographed women who are a size 24+ before and who have felt like you and have truly loved their photos because I worked hard to show them in a way they'd never seen before. Size is not and should never be a barrier to recording your special day.

I'd say something like 'We love you all for coming today and sharing our happiness and we're happy if you want to remember the day through photos but would really appreciate you not posting pictures of the bride or groom on social media. Thanks for your understanding.'

Last time I was weighed my bmi was also 39. I was a borderline size 12-14. Yes it's higher than it 'should' be, but it's within the realms of a very very normal size. You will look beautiful on your wedding day even if you don't see that now.

We are getting married in a registry office and then going to the pub - a professional photographer would be a bit better excessive. I'm sure that they're not cheap, either!
