Well, one of my bridesmaids, Krissy took photos during the wedding. As did my mom, and my sister took some pictures with her cell phone. I'm getting the professional pictures in soon. Krissy posted pictures friends only on flickr, which was what I was hoping that she'd do so I could download them. hehe
I'm very particular about who sees pictures of me, and so is Scottie.

Well, my sister posted some of those pictures that Krissy had friends only, plus her phone pictures, and a couple of pictures mom took on her myspace. Now, I hate myspace. Some of my friends are on it, and I use it to keep in touch with them better. But I'm not a big fan of the site in general, and it seems that the majority of myspace is populated with morons. Please nobody take offense. If you are reading my journal and use myspace, then I count you among the intelligent people on myspace. ;)

So. My sister posts a whole bunch of pictures of the wedding on myspace without asking me first. And some of the pictures I'm not all that thrilled with how they turned out. I'm fine with showing them to my friends but I think if there is a picture that I think I look icky in, I shouldn't have to worry about it being shown to anyone and everyone online. I was going to show them via flickr to those I wanted to show them to.
My sister is one of those people who try to make friends with as many people as humanly possible on myspace. Even if they have the IQ of a zucchini. No wait, that's mean. I'm insulting zucchinis.

So I show that to Scottie and he's not cool with it at all. So I ask her to take them down via neomail, because I saw she was online there. She says ok, sorry. Then she says "but Krissy has them on her my spaze 2" and I replied that didn't mean I wanted them there either. Now, Krissy basically just has her myspace to keep in touch with a few friends she knows IRL, pretty much how I use mine. So I'm not afraid that she's going to have a million random contacts going to see them. And she only posted a few with me and Scottie in them, and none of them look icky. But still, they're public pictures that we don't really want public. And I asked my sister to take hers down, so I'm going to be fair and have that be the rule for everybody. Flickr-friends and family only is fine; myspace is not. So I messaged her and asked her to take them down, and explained why.

My sister, even though she was online for quite some time after I asked, still hasn't taken down the pictures. At first I felt bad about asking her to take them down, but since I asked and she said she would but didn't... and is most likely in bed right now so isn't going to do anything about them until tomorrow night... Well, now I'm getting angry about it. Most of the pictures aren't even pictures she took herself, and they are pictures of me and Scottie that we don't want up. I don't think I'm in the wrong to ask people this, right? :/

Does anyone think I'm doing something wrong by asking people to take pictures of my wedding down?

My wedding was very very small, so there were few pictures taken. My guest list ended up being the bridal party, my great uncle, my mom, and my grandparents. I had one more person at the reception (Krissy's husband who wasn't able to make it to the ceremony due to work), so there were very few people taking pictures. Basically just the professional photographer, Krissy, my mom, and my sister. My grampa also took pictures with his film camera.

If I had a larger wedding, I would have just assumed that pictures of us could potentially been let loose on the net. But with this small group I it should be a little more controlled, and it's the people closest to me for crying out loud. I expect those people to be more respectful of my wishes. Ah well.
