She can always use this pic later to explain the birds and bees to her kids… Grandma and Grandpa loved each other so much that their love made Mommy… and so on… and so on…
This seems to be a genre, and we have two recent examples along with “They Complete Us”: the wedding photos in which the parallels between sets of relationships are goopily, artificially “brought out” by our photographer’s compositional skills.
Dear God,
Mother is about to cause drama at my wedding – she wore her strapless black gown and is kissing my new father-in-law. Just help me make it through the ceremony so I can leave town.
Marney just has to insert herself into every major function:
“Now Lisa, this is the PROPER way to kiss your groom.”
“Alright, Aunt Marney” {{rolling eyes}} “… someone get her out of here PLEASE.”
Dad: Is she still here?
Mom: I think so; I hear breathing.
Dad: So we’re not empty nesters yet?
Mom: Be patient, dear.
Dad: I’m going to blow a raspberry through your epiglottis.
Mom: You’ll frighten our daughter.
Dad: Is she still here?
I’m getting married in a few months and all of these awkward wedding pictures are freaking me out! I should print them out and give them to our photographer as examples of what NOT to do.
Anen sister! Remember, it is YOUR day, don’t let a pushy photog push you into a pose you don’t want to do, just b/c he wants it for his professional portfolio!
But photographers aren’t the real problem – if you don’t like a photo, you can simply not choose to include it in your wedding album. Who you REALLY need to be careful of is the videographer. WI told our videographer straight-up: 1) no goofy bs, and 2) I didn’t want to be mic’d. He convinced me to wear the mic, b/c “otherwise you won’t hear your vows”. He swore to me that he would only turn the mic on when the time came to say the vows, so I agreed. Of course, when we got our video, I find he left the mic on the entire time. The entire ceremony is accompanied by the sound of my nervous, heavy breathing. I wanted to kill that guy.
I’m trying to decide if this one was posed by the photographer like the last one. Either way, the result is FAIL. I hope they didn’t select this one for the photo album.
it kinda looks like they’re just going to do a greeting kiss, but it was caught at the wrong moment so it seems more like a pash… I can’t be sure though, just don’t wanna rule out a pure coincidence.
If it is a coincidence, way to go for the photographer capturing the moment

afp
professional photographers out there: why????
I like her dress and veil.
This is the BEST title for a photo on the entire site. I’m declaring this one FTW
The only thing awkward about this is the title.
“I am going to close my eyes and when I open them, you all will be gone..1..2..3…”
She can always use this pic later to explain the birds and bees to her kids… Grandma and Grandpa loved each other so much that their love made Mommy… and so on… and so on…
HAHAHAHAHA!
Thank you, thank you, for using the worst line in a bad movie for the caption. It fit perfectly!
A very enjoyable awkward moment
This seems to be a genre, and we have two recent examples along with “They Complete Us”: the wedding photos in which the parallels between sets of relationships are goopily, artificially “brought out” by our photographer’s compositional skills.
“goopily”?! lol
sure looks like her mother is crying?? or at least not happy about the whole thing.
It’s her concealed crossbow.
“See No EVIL” I do NOT want this visual on my HONEYMOON ~Darn it!
Ditto on it’s the groom and her mother……..is the bride reaching for something in her bouquet?
Oh! This is the work of a photographer trying to be creative. They look uncomfortable and “Awkward” hence a perfect photo for this site!
Parents slipping each other the tongue in front of their kids is creepy.
Nice flowers though!
Watching that is gonna put a damper on the bride’s wedding night for sure…
Don’t assume that is the brides parents. That may in fact be the groom and the brides mother. AWKWARD!
She’s actually gritting her teeth because Mom always has to steal her thunder, and this was supposed to be HER DAY!!
“If I close my eyes, I won’t see the bad thing. The bad thing can’t eat me if I close my eyes.” *sticks fingers in ears* “LA LA LA LA LA…”
Bwahahahahahaha!!!!
Oh, I enjoyed that.
That’s not the dad, that’s the groom….
“You may now kiss your bride’s mother.”
That’s not her parents. It’s her new husband and his mom. The bride is just now realizing that she married a whole new kind of mama’s boy.
Ha!!!
Dear God,
Mother is about to cause drama at my wedding – she wore her strapless black gown and is kissing my new father-in-law. Just help me make it through the ceremony so I can leave town.
Too funny!
“Is it over yet?”
The bride is kinda cute though.
That painting in the background….I think its Chicago.
Don’t be silly – it is totally Indianapolis.
(You can tell by the guard rail)
rofl
Thats clearly Indianapolis.
hilarious!
hhahaahahah…well played Jeffy. I was rushing home to make a comment just like this when I read yours. Great minds think alike!!!!!!
you were rushing home to make a comment on this site? awkward.
(just kidding!)
I think it’s the groom and his mother in the picture.
Ahahahaha! *snort*
Nice.
*I’m going to count to ten and when I open my eyes PLEASE let it be over!!*
What if that isn’t dad…but the groom?!
Marney just has to insert herself into every major function:
“Now Lisa, this is the PROPER way to kiss your groom.”
“Alright, Aunt Marney” {{rolling eyes}} “… someone get her out of here PLEASE.”
That would be “the regulation way” to kiss the groom!
Hilarious caption! One of the worst movie lines ever.
I know!! I thought I was the only person who cringed at that line.
Dad: Is she still here?
Mom: I think so; I hear breathing.
Dad: So we’re not empty nesters yet?
Mom: Be patient, dear.
Dad: I’m going to blow a raspberry through your epiglottis.
Mom: You’ll frighten our daughter.
Dad: Is she still here?
LOL….epiglottis….
Greatest freaking comment EVER!
Thank you, Wendy. You just can’t say epiglottis without a chuckle.
Anyone who can work the word “epiglottis” in deserves a prize!
“Um, Mom…Dad..Hello? MY big day?”
This is my new favorite AFP caption.
Mine too
And there are some really good ones vying for top seat.
Always a top 5 for me:”She didn’t stand a chance.” Under, “The Lenscrafters”.
It looks like she is trying to teleport herself out of this.
You can see the poor bride forcing herself to look serene. Jeez, get a freaking room.
haha the bride looks like she’s shaking her head in disbelief/disgust.
i wonder in which context this photo was taken…. it’s a strange one….
Awkward? I don’t know…seems like a reach to me.
you’ve got to be joking.
This one is beyond awkward? How could you deny that?
They just can’t let her have her moment in the sun even for one day.
Even her face looks pained
Yes, the look on her face says it all.
Oh my, oh my. That is just wrong.
She is going to her happy place! A place she has had to go to many times in the past!!!
This would be really awkward if the man wasn’t her dad but her groom. Ouch.
I’m getting married in a few months and all of these awkward wedding pictures are freaking me out! I should print them out and give them to our photographer as examples of what NOT to do.
Most *normal* wedding photographers only do these bizarre poses upon request… but I would print them off, just to be safe
…or, you can see if you can do more awkward and submit to AFP!

You hired a “videographer.” Awkwardness was sure to follow.
I’m trying to decide if this one was posed by the photographer like the last one. Either way, the result is FAIL. I hope they didn’t select this one for the photo album.
this is my pic – this was the photographer’s idea….
Valerie, you’re a lovely woman. I’m sorry that your photographer was a creep.
Why didn’t you say “NO!!!”???? HAHAHAHA
I don’t blame her for having her eyes closed.
that’s what I was thinking … on the other hand, I hope my hubby & me can still be smoochy in our later years
Please, Lord, when I open my eyes, make it stop…..
please???
… or I’m calling the Van Helsings!
Hilarious. She has to close here eyes. Where’s the groom?
…he run off…
How do we know the male behind her is NOT the groom?
I was thinking the same thing. He looks young.
Lol
It seems like no one is enjoying this moment. Even the parents in the background seem to being thinking “gosh this is awkward.”
Maybe they think she needs a tutorial before the big moment?
…LOOOL. this is really AWKWARD.
it kinda looks like they’re just going to do a greeting kiss, but it was caught at the wrong moment so it seems more like a pash… I can’t be sure though, just don’t wanna rule out a pure coincidence.
