Is it cringy to post a wedding photo on LinkedIn? I recently got married and would like to share a wedding photo with my network but feel a bit uneasy about it because I never post anything personal on there.

Yes - Why does your network need to know you’re married? Surely anyone important enough to you would know by now. And congratulations!!

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.

Don't do it. It's definitely cringe. Keep your personal photos for Facebook and Instagram

You should go with you instinct here. I personally wouldn’t post it on a public forum like LinkedIn.

Save your romance for Meta platforms. Cringe is to post it on LinkedIn’s professional playground.

If you happen to write an article that describes the process of building a new-to-you model of work-life balance based on the change in your status, that picture could possibly be a nice addition to the overall post.

I think there are different approaches to LinkedIn. To me, it’s purely professional. Talking about my marital status doesn’t belong in an interview, and at work I prefer Ms. to Mrs. as my title in the rare instance that comes up. My marital status is not relevant to my professional qualifications. So by extension, I also don’t feel it belongs on LinkedIn. I’m happy to tell coworkers or professional network folks that are also personal friends, but then they can see it on other social media or I can tell them in person. That said, I wouldn’t think much of anything if I saw someone posting this on LinkedIn, just because I know a lot of people are more personal on there. It’s up to you. Some people will get a slight cringe, others will love it. And congrats! 😉

Yes. I feel the same way with baby photos (known as "babybombing" and "sharenting." Parents post all the time of their children in forums completely unrelated to parenting. The desperation for social validation is real.

Very cringe. Put it in instagram, LinkedIn should be kept purely professional IMHO. If you want to share the social side of your life, connect with those you are close with on FB

Sounds normal.

It’s cringy AF.

What’s the need? There’s a place for everything. Isn’t Facebook, IG or other platforms not enough?

Don’t

IMO: Not “cringe” but better to keep it on Facebook or similar. Better to keep LinkedIn for professional matters.
