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?

Why are so many people so snotty about it?! Didn’t do it myself, think it’s a great idea for those that want to though. Come on - you’re all posting on the internet, stop acting like people who can’t appreciate new developments. It’s just a nice way to easily share photos.

I find it so cringe. A friend of mine (the bride) did it for her wedding and the only person who used it was herself.

For the purpose of locating pictures on SM I think it's a good idea. I won't be doing it though.

Just another way for self obsessed folk to declare ‘Lookit MEEEEE on my special daiiii I’m such a Prinny hunsss’ 🤮

I thought it was so that people can search for it on insta. For example #clarawedsjohn.
Then everyone who takes picture of the wedding uses that hashtag. So that people who search for can find all the pics people have taken for that occasion. Sounds like a pretty neat idea to me

although people might have private accounts, the bride and groom will most probably follow them so they’d get to see it.

It's nauseating, image-obsessed, narcissistic bollocks, but not even in the top 20 nauseating, image-obsessed, narcissistic bollocks that people do for weddings.

I didn't know what it meant, but now that I do it seems like a reasonable idea to be able to look at guests' photos after the event.

@isthisaname well yes, I can understand posting photos of myself online, but why would anyone else be interested in them? And I would never post photos of other people online without their permission, if they really wanted photos I'd taken of them, I'd send them directly to the person. But whatever, I'm sure I'm old and out of touch with these things. I just don't really get it.

As I said upthread, I'm trying to plan my own wedding at the moment and agree that most of it is nonsense.

But how can you say a hash tag to group all your photos together is nauseating, image obsessed, narcasistic bollocks when the average cost for a wedding photographer is TWO THOUSAND POUNDS. Spending two grand for someone to take pictures of you is self obsessed bollocks

Indeed. Of course it is.

What's the question here?

Do you think people have Hashtag Reveal parties?

Sounds great. And I am old!

Can't wait to hear what they choose as their divorce hashtag.
