Not to have realised #ing your wedding was a thing.

[sweeneytoddsrazor]

As in a friend who is marrying later this year has officially chosen the # for their wedding. When did this become a thing?

About five or six years ago I think?

I saw really twee signs for sale in the Range before Christmas. You know the sort of thing - blackboards with tatty old string and a painted on "HAPPY WEDDING!!!" - OUR WEDDING HASHTAG IS #..."

Urgh.

They're the first people ever to get married so they are more special than you.

I don't even know what this means (I shall crawl back under my rock now!)

Nor do I, Didthatreallyhappen, am hoping to find out on this thread.

It's a thing. It means that after the wedding the bride and groom can search for the hashtag on Instagram/Facebook and see what others have put online. Seems sensible to me!

Years ago.

Makes sense, instead of disposables on the table, now anyone who went can easily find the photos

It's a nice idea the wedding party get to see pictures of the wedding from lots of different people.

I feel really old

I'm sure I first saw this around 5 years ago so it's definitely been a thing for a while

I don't even know what this means (I shall crawl back under my rock now!)

Nor me. Anyone care to explain?

You choose a hash tag #metclaffewedding or whatever, so everyone uses it, then its easy for people to search through on IG or twitter after.

You can now also create your own snap chat filters and write things like mr and Mrs x wedding day .

Internet etc, wasn't a'thing' or a '#', in our (15 or so) years ago ?

It’s better than disposable cameras opinion.

Cringe

A what now?!

Ffs

Aw I think its nice. But what do I know, I got married 15 years ago and had a wedding website

It has been going for a while. I don’t see the problem, if guests are taking photos and uploading them to their socials they use the wedding hashtag so that all of the photos are easily found in one place. Then the bride and groom can look through them and see photos from throughout the day 🤷🏻‍♀️

It means all pictures and photos from the night can be found under one search,

I feel really old

So do I. We had a VHS video at our wedding.

Surely it makes more sense to publish an advertisement in the Times and provide a correspondence address for any well-wishers to arrange an appointment to compare etchings made at the felicitous ceremony?

That’s it. I’m officially old. I just audibly harrumphed when I read that.

@GetUpAgain I think you need to have a chat with yourself about your choices I got married 11 years ago and didn’t have a website.

@WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll

I'm from the olden days too.

= something going wrong with the telex machine in the office
