i wont....what u say is right.....but alot of guppies on the bridal thread share ideas/tips etc and kinda get excited for each other prior to the wedding. and alot of us are niave when we do post pics - this thread is creating awareness for the mistakes some of us have made about posting on here....girls such as sumorani, desibride, PF, shay, SGC are all long term regulars and we all went through our weddings together in a weird kind of way lol
That's fine, and I agree with Orphy too. Also at the same time, tons of girls google "bridal wear" and one of the first things that come up is the gupstup bridal wear topic (that's how i found this forum!). So, while it's kinda creepy to have your pix on a facebook group, in a way, it's gonna help all thse girls who can benefit by the colors/ ideas/ styles. I personally don't look at people's faces when I look at a pic...and I think the best strategy is to ask her to remove them if they bug you too much but honeslty, they're probably in loads of other sites/ blogs anyways.
Re: Samima Sams - Facebook Group - Pakistani Brides
there must be a privacy system to use this gupshup forum otherwise such sick minded will make bad use of the pics.
the best part is, a few of us (sgc, me, bride2be, sumorani, blushingrose, chanda, silsila, and a couple of others) had our weddings not too far apart from one another so the time we spent discussing stuff on here made us bond really well together. almost all of them i even know/met in real life so that makes it alot better. luckily for us, we can share pictures outside of gs too now thanks to being good friends in real life.. :)
I totally agree with you Shay:) Thanks to GS Ive found amazing friends--who I can have such long and interesting conversations with--not just about Weddings but also books, movies, food, clothes, history you name it! Even though we've had glimpses of one another on GS, maybe some phone calls as well, but the bond is very strong and InshaAllah will become stronger!
And yes we can share pictures with one another--then wait and see the beautiful comments written underneath them:)
im sorry.. i would have to agree with an earlier post indicating you should be fully aware of the consequences when posting ur pics up on here... this is not a private forum, anyone can become a member and log in.. unless ur privately emailing someone your pics, you should always consider the fact that people can easily copy/paste the pics with a click of a mouse...
and im a bit confused.. i dont get what the big deal is that this girl, whoever she is, copied the pics into a group.. shes not taking credit for the clothes on the brides or claiming she did the photography or make-up.. just like we have this forum on here, she created a group on facebook with the same pics..
girls that you dont know can see your pics here (like me, i dont know u guys personally, im a fairly new member) or now, they can see them on facebook with the group this girl made (with it being a private girls only group)...
im getting married in a few months..my sister actually came across the fb group and sent me a message telling me to go on it and get some ideas for poses (photography) and we were looking at all the beautiful brides with the different outfits, color combinations..it just helped me to get an idea of even hairstyles, tikka's, etc.... it was actually very helpful for me i must admit...
i dont think the girl's intention (whoever created that group) was to expose anyone, but it was just a one-stop bridal group where girls can get some ideas.. and its not like she's exposing pics with people half-naked, being places they're not supposed to be... these are pics from weddings mostly.. where hundreds of other people already saw you...
i know out of respect she should have asked for permission... but i think she was just trying to organize one big girls-only group, where you could go and try and get some ideas for ur own wedding (which is the purpose of this forum too i believe)..
sorry.. im just trying to look at the other end of this... pple say im always too optimistic so im trying to figure out what this girl's true intention was and i dont think it was to embarrass/expose anyone.... im getting married in 2 months iA and i know if i were to ever post my picture on here, it could be copied onto hundreds of sites without me knowing...havent u guys seen the news story of the mom of 3 kids that posted her family pic on myspace and someone ended up using her picture on a trashy website and replaced her body with somebody else's that was wearing lingerie.. it was all over the news... but this group on fb is just copying the exact pic that you posted up without altering it anyway, with possibly helping another bride-to-be out..anyway, i guess after this experience, all u that freely post ur pics have been warned. so make YOUR decisions wisely before someone takes advantage...trust no one..c'mon..this is the internet we're talking about!!
P.S. im sooo not the girl who made the facebook group lol.. i wish i had that much time in my life!!
anyway, good luck to all of u.. i hope it all works out where she removes your pics NICELY after one simple request is made iA...
^ As mentioned earlier - some of guppies have been niave in regards to posting pics on this forum - but it is those pics that have proven valuable (even more so) rather than model bridal pictures - hence y you got loads of ideas from them and y the group on FB has been popular. As you are a new user you may feel different about this and as time goes on less ppl will post there own personal pics which will not benefit other users - the majority of forum users do respect other ppl wishes and its a few that spoil it for the rest. **The loyalty of other forum users stemming from weeks back allowed this group on facebook to come to light - which in my opinion demonstrates the loyalty/kindness of the users on the wedding section.
p.s just because she has not altered the pic doesnt make it ok or acceptable! she clearly knows she was using pics without ppls permission hence her rude emails to us when we asked her to remove them.

Re: Samima Sams - Facebook Group - Pakistani Brides
i dont care who the girl is, i dont care what her intentions are, and i dont care that she was tryign to organize a girls only group with real bridal pics. i do care for the fact that i repeatedly said dont copy, post, save, bla bla my pics (and i know many people have saved my pics) but still she decided to go ahead and post my pictures on her retarded group with thousands of members which previously was not a private group.
not only did she put the pics up, but she put them up obviously without my permission (and on her intro page it says dont put up pics without permission) and then she replies back to the owners of the pics with such rudeness where one would think that she owned the damn pictures! but people like her obviously must not have a conscious.
and seriously does it make a damn difference if the group is girls only? its my picture! if i say dont post it anywhere that means dont freakin post it anywhere! this person has gotta have some psychological/personality disorder, OCD, or just right down's syndrome or maybe she just doesnt understand english!
no no, i got it she has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, "a pervasive pattern of gran diosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy
gooooo sumorani - thats exactly how i felt. well at least its being reported! your so funny with ur mental lingo - u remind me of my sister!
Re: Samima Sams - Facebook Group - Pakistani Brides
she has sent this to her members today:
hello many girls have request me to post only bridal pictures ...they are not interested in seeing mehndi trays ..wedding decors ...stages ...so what do u say should i put them or not ?..i thought it will give great ideas for girls but i duuno ..iam also planning to change the group name called pakistani weddings ?
do post your comments in discussion board
so contrary to her email exchanged between another GS member that she was only uploading pics from other users she is doing them her self
Re: Samima Sams - Facebook Group - Pakistani Brides
how about we rally up.
down with samima sams.
curious, couldn't you shut down the group by reporting it on facebook? I mean every time you upload a pic you have to see some small print about how you have the right to post up the pic and it isn't copywritten and what not.
i had a few friends find profiles with their pictures and different names and facebook was very helpful with removing it.
Re: Samima Sams - Facebook Group - Pakistani Brides
^im sure if enough people report it, they will do something about it.
Re: Samima Sams - Facebook Group - Pakistani Brides
I had a look at the group - had to request to be added to the group first.
There are about 1700 pictures in the group. Took a long time, but I manage to get through about 1100 before I gave up. There are so many pictures on it, that I've seen in this forum!
o maybeeeeee dis is aiming for a needle in a haysack.. but her hotmail id was blushingrose and i SWEARR i saw someone with dat name here on gupshup... no?
oh gosh! she took my nick! that's fabulous!!!!....just to let u guys know--ive posted a few of my own pix on here and would be distraught if they showed up on a facebook page.
and my hotmail id is my name not blushing rose...thank god for that
Re: Samima Sams - Facebook Group - Pakistani Brides

Re: Samima Sams - Facebook Group - Pakistani Brides
hmmm not really--it would be very MEAN--then ill lose my GS integrity:(
Re: Samima Sams - Facebook Group - Pakistani Brides
I didn't go through all of them..but, there are still pictures of brides who posted their pictures here at gs...i spotted tweetHina (i think?) pic 233 and 234.
Re: Samima Sams - Facebook Group - Pakistani Brides
Hello everyone. I was trying to go on the page to see wheather my pictures were posted on the page or not, however; the page does not display any pictures. I posted my pictures in bridal section long time ago and took them off later. Any idea why I am unable to review the group page on facebook?
Thanks
Re: Samima Sams - Facebook Group - Pakistani Brides
It's a private group, you would need to request membership first.
