Yes - Why does your network need to know you’re married? Surely anyone important enough to you would know by now. And congratulations!!
Thank you!
Why do you feel the need to post your wedding on LinkedIn? Very cringe. Also, it’s cringe when I see people posting wedding photos, every day, for months after their wedding on social media. The first few are nice and I admire how people put their wedding days together, after a while it’s like stop, no one but you cares anymore.
TA1 I think you misread what I wrote or what I was intending to write. I was saying it is cringe, and I hate it equally when people repost the same memories on Facebook every other month.
I feel you don’t mix personal with LinkedIn. I cringe when I see LinkedIn confused with Facebook/instagram. Invite colleagues to your facebook/insta for personal stuff
Congrats! I agree. Unless you are in the wedding business, keep that post to IG.
Yes. Please don’t do that. We all have to do our part in keeping LinkedIn for professional networking. And congratulations!
Go for it. Anyone who would call you cringy for posting your wedding photo is just jealous.
I guess the question really is, is it okay to be cringy. And it's fine. No one is perfect, do what you want.
Not at all. Anyone else telling otherwise doesn’t understand LI. I would venture a guess it would be one of if not your post with the most engagement you’ve ever had.
I would restrict this type of post to Facebook; but so many people are using LinkedIn for more personal matters that I don’t think it would be seen by most people as cringey. I just like to keep my own LinkedIn feed strictly business. Just a personal preference.
Let's put in this way, would it be cringy for someone to give a PowerPoint presentation about their startup at your bridal shower? Even if they are excited about being an entrepreneur and among friends?
Yes. Yes it would.
Context is everything.
Congratulations!

Or you can post and then you’ll experience your pics all over again in this bowl! ;)
Yes. There's your answer.
Geez, this thread is full of a bunch of lame Dwight Schrutes. When you all return to work tomorrow, whether virtually or in person, I hope you refuse to answer the question “how was your weekend?” Lest you be hypocritical time thieves.
Found the cringelord
Let's just keep LI professional, everyone. Please
Could you imagine being in an interview and the interviewer asks, as they always do, “so, tell me about yourself.” And after going on with your resume highlights, and projects, etc, you wrapped up with “and my spouse and I have two kids, we enjoy our pets, and exploring new hiking trails on the weekends.” And the interviewer responded with “keep your personal life to yourself. This is a JOB INTERVIEW.”
Lol, can’t find your own words so you steal mine. I’m flattered! But, I take plenty of interest in other peoples’ lives in the appropriate circumstances. Like my family and friends, or colleagues that I’m close with.
Yes, it is cringey lol! Please don’t invite the unnecessary critique of you and your spouse on your most special day: “she’s out of his league” “terrible venue” “baggy suit” lol.
But I will say the only photo topping this is the family (kids and all) Christmas shot in matching sweaters. Yes, I have seen that. And yes she was still out of his league lol.
I’d be wondering what it says about you as an oversharer.
I find posting in general cringe on LinkedIn unless you have big professional news to share. I post once every 2 years. anyways, wedding photos will end up in this bowl
YES
If you have to ask, you know the answer. I would ask yourself why you feel the need to share this information with a bunch of professional acquaintances? I’m sure your actual friends will see it on your personal social network accounts.
Personally, I wouldn’t necessarily cringe at a wedding post. But, if it was someone who never posted on LI, I might wonder why they were posting it. And if you regularly post, I think a personal post now and then is ok as long as it aligns with your personal brand from a career perspective. Also, as a woman I am mindful of this when I give advice to clients bc of the motherhood penalty. As soon as a woman is married, many people count her out for promotions and assume she is going to start a family soon or deprioritize her career. Esp gen
X and baby boomers.
No offense but career and life coaches are also the worst offenders for what they post on LI. Basically a bunch of novellas about their personal lives with an anecdote at the end that’s like “hire me”. So unless it’s a wedding planner business, there is really no reason to try to spin a wedding post as aligning with “personal brand and career perspective.” Just don’t post it.
Okay, thanks for your input, everyone!
