Grad's GF - Fam Pics

[Anonymous]

They haven't made a commitment, the family doesn't want to commit to a photo. Harsh not to have at least 1. Most mostly, hugely --- none of your business!

In the age of digital photography, this “rule” is ridiculous. You can easily take unlimited pics in unlimited combinations. And with the divorce rate, there’s a solid chance the photo will outlast the marriage.

My then-future-now-ex-SIL is in my wedding pics. She was there! They were engaged! And 15 years later, they’re no longer married. But she was still there and an important part of my family at the time.

People are weird.

Well, days of limited number of shots are gone. Everyone gets hundreds and thousands of shots. Bridezilla behavior is ugly.

If we're qualifying relationships for the amazingly important Family Photo then let's also leave out all those married couples who seemingly hate each other's guts

Sounds like White people.

Eh, I have a different take on this. I don’t have ONE college graduation picture without my then boyfriend in it.

I totally wish my family had just asked him to step out of the pictures, instead of trying to be nice.

I remember being sad that my serious boyfriend wasn't invited to my cousins marriage. It stung because I felt my family wasn't taking my relationship seriously. We had been together for 5 years and living together 2 and talking marriage. Looking back my family was right and I'm glad he wasn't included.

I don't see this as a big deal and long term it won't be.

My parents said they didn’t want to meet any SO of mine until we were at least engaged.

My husband's family doesn't include you even once married. That is because they have a ton of divorce. We had an event after we were married (we eloped) and we had everyone included in photos. My MIL says we ruined her album and some photos have already been ripped up because some married couples are no longer together and there are hard feelings.

Did they get some photos together as a couple at least? Does she feel welcome by them otherwise?

This is why you do some photos with the couple. Then grad and parents, grad and siblings. Grad and grands. Time for lunch!

True because in traditional POC families non spouses aren't invited to these things so it's not an issue.
