I know I'm being a biitch
but it creeps me out a little when people I don't know (I'm assuming they're my mom's friends) comment on pictures my mom posted from the wedding with things like, "Beautiful bride!". I know I should just be flattered, but I would never leave a comment like that about a person I don't know, ever. And if it's not my mom's friends, well then I am really weirded out!
Re: I know I'm being a biitch
It is a bit strange.
And I just noticed (I think, unless I've said this before) that you signed up on my birthday. Neat!

You are not being a btch! It creeps me out too...especially when people from high school that I haven't spoken with in 10 years comment.
I hope you weren't weirded out when I commented on your pics :-)
Not at all! The Knottie comments were totally fine (and much appreciated). When I said I wouldn't comment on pictures of someone I didn't know, you girls don't count - I know you!

Haha you're not being a ***! You're just someone who likes her privacy. That's a good thing.
I'm just weird, maybe it comes from being one of 8 kids but I'm just whatever about everything. People have been intruding on my privacy (my 5 sisters/little brothers/my crazy mom) my entire life so I'm just used to it. Even now that some of us are older, we're like the family in Brothers & Sisters where no one can keep a secret and someone's business may just be the topic of conversation at a family dinner one night.
It'd be nice to have some every once in a while though, huh?
I think people look at photos of a wedding, and they know it's the happiest day of someone's life at least thus far, and when the photographer is good the spirit of the day is captured so well. The joy is infectious and everyone and their mother wants to give well wishes. I actually think it's nice when people who weren't there can tell through photos what a great day it was for me.
I agree with this, for people that I know. But I am a fairly private person, and I think of weddings as an intimate thing. Sure, I love looking at pictures of strangers' weddings on blogs, but somehow on FB it seems personal, like they're intruding on my private life. I know they're just trying to be nice, and I would never SAY anything to them, or my mom, or anything like that.
