Hi

Hi
More a question
At my son's wedding the photographer took a photo of me at one end with my son next was the bride then the other woman and then my husband . I thought it was a parents of the groom photo and I would not have stood for it if I had know she was on it , can I phone the photographers and not give my permission for it to be printed:mad:
if not why not

Why on earth didn't you say something beforehand?

That said, your son & daughter-in-law should have checked with you beforehand to make sure you were happy with the photos you were going to be in.

My parents are divorced and we will be checking with them to make sure they are happy with being in photos together. We won't be putting my mum & dad next to each other to pretend as if they're together still, either - that would be very fake to me.

So I can see your side but unfortunately it's a bit late now. It's one photo - just let them have it and don't buy it yourself.

My parents divorced 17 years ago and my Dad will be sitting next to my Mum to eat at our wedding!

Mum will be in between her ex husband and her husband lol!

We all eat Christmas dinner together at my house too.

Why?

They get along for the sake of me and my children.

Get a grip and don't be silly, asking whether you can stop the photographer printing this particular photo.

The photos are the brides and grooms, not yours so there is nothing you can do.

I would have had some sympathy if you hadn't have come across as stamping your feet and being silly over it.

Well done you! I worked with somebody who's ex husband and new wife all worked on the same site - fortunately in different sections. The 'new' Mrs S hated that the old one kept his name - there were no kids involved and frankly he was such a **** I'd have got shot of the name if it had been me. I think she only did it to wind the new Mrs S up. I've kept my married name but then it's a dead common one anyway and my maiden name was awful lol - not sure if I'd have changed it back if I'd no kids but will definitely change it when I remarry next year even though I prefer my old married name to what the new one will be :rotfl:

Must admit to taking a certain level of enjoyment that the misstress didn't take everything off me

It's up to the bride and groom, you don't have to look at it!

As a bride to be with separated bickering parents, I feel sorry for your son and his wife!
I have had enough of pathetic people making that special day seem like a nightmare and I won't stand for it afterwards either!!! :mad:

RANT OVER!!!

OH's parents seperated when he was 3 months old, his mum has remarried and his dad did (3 more times!) but is now single. We want as shot with them together with us. They are all his parents and really his only family (he is an only child) and the rest aren't close.

If any of them get upset then tough, they won't be in any of the other photos! We are happy to have his mum and step dad in a photo individual to his dad so they can have a copy without each other in but it would be nice for him to have one with them all.

This reminds me of the time, the 'new' wife of ex 'phoned me to demand I stop calling myself by my married name as she was 'Mrs X now'
I politely told her to foxtrot oscar! My name is the same as my daughters, end of! If/when my daughter gets married she can have who the hell she wants in the 'photo's nowt to do with me!

Do you think she went through the rest of the phonebook to tell other people to change their name too :rotfl:

My friend had a girlfriend who asked him how long until they could get married because he had the same name as her ex and she wanted to annoy him! They had only been going out for a week!

We have lots of family issues on my OH's side - we have had to split them up so they are all on different tables! Difficult when you are only having 5 tables! For photos they have been told to grin and bear it! His mum has asked that she is nowhere near his sister (his dad's daughter) in pictures and his reply was that he wouldn't inflict his mum on his sis! Oops! She is trying to get her say because we have organised everything without anyones help!It's our wedding I will have who I want in my pictures!

If the OP really didn't want to be in the photo she should have explained before having it taken!

My parents separated many years ago, and are warring parents, both have remarried so I now have four parents. Come my big day they will all be in the 'parents of the bride' picture together, whether they want to be or not. It's them that has the problem with each other not me and if I ask for the picture then it will be taken. If one person out of them throws a tantrum then they will be asked to leave and not ruin my day any further. Sounds like the OPs son is of a like mind to me and wanted ALL his parents in one - its very MSE at the end of the day to have one pic with all in instead of having to have two just incase one person throws a wobbly!!!

:T that's my reaction, I don't particulaly want any photo's with MIL or SIL to be cos all I want to do is stick my fingers in their eyes but I wouldn't dare tell OH I didn't. I'm a grown up so I don't have to look at it but the memory will be there for OH to look at.

We're having separeates too, but the photographer is going to 'suggest' it on the day because we will tell them the full story.
