Newly married couples who share their wedding pictures to the online/local newspaper

People share their dinner or drinks now, at least a wedding isn't an everyday event.

Wedding photos have always been in papers. National paper for celebs and the well-to-do, some local papers for others.

This kind of thing will only increase with the rise of social media. By the time we all die they'll probably post pics of us in our coffins!

The human need for to be told they're great. Sad really.

Nobody but you and maybe your family and friends will give a sh1t about your 'special day'.

Get over yourselves.

We've got a live one here folks. Any interest in doing an AMA?

Nothing new here.

It's of great interest to some who got married recently particularly if they are aware of the family and the whole thing about liking or hating wedding dress style.

I do cringe at it and it's not for me, but it does shift newspapers. Hell they have photos of first days at school even Halloween at school just to fill pages with photos. Loads of photos of football match teams all ages from all townlands. I must have been in the paper 50 times as a child for no good reason.

The local press photographers show up at weddings, confirmations and communions and take those pics to fill up the pages. Mammies tend to supply the wedding photos if their offspring tie the knot abroad. It's always been part and parcel of the local newspapers. If anything, there's less wedding pics now than 20 years ago.

As said, it's usually the wedding photographer and maybe one of the press photographer's who do it, not the couple. And if someone is married abroad older people look forward to seeing their grandchild/niece/nephew in the paper if they weren't at the wedding. Its becoming less of a thing. I don't read the local press. Perhaps you could consider doing that instead of sneering at other people who want to keep an elderly relative happy?

the fact that you’re combing The Ballygobackwards Tribune for something to sneer at is far more cringey. It’s most often a local photographer paying for a bit of advertising. What harm?

Lots of harm.

Why should my picture be in a paper. Potentially my kids as well.

If the couple want it there, says a lot about them. Without my permission, no.

Pathetic over all.

Feck all.

Apart from being gorgeous. I don't want to be the reason couples break up.

None I suppose.

Did they give permission?
