So, if I attend a football match (or any other event with a large crowd) can
I expect to be asked to give permission to have my picture taken? - TV often
shows shots of the crowd ;-)
(Well - it is Friday!)

What if the bride was Catherine Zeta-Jones? What if she was eating cake at
the time?
But seriously, I wholeheartely agree - the courtesy point defeats all
others. It is fundamentally discourteous to take a picture of someone
without getting their permission if the intention is to display it in an
exhibition. Despite the public nature of a wedding, this seems a bit too
far. People surely have a right to get married without a stranger snapping
them in circumstances like this. The right thing to do is unquestionably to
remove the picture.
