Oh my goodness……This is both classic and fantastic on so many levels! I’ll bet the groom is simply cold before the ceremony begins but; my, my bad timing. Lol. AFP, definetly 3 thumbs on this one! A real winner.
OMG that looks just like my ex! I think it actually might be him… hard to tell with that incredibly pained expression he’s making. Heh heh heh… serves him right.
I think Marnie would be more upset about you getting her name wrong, Franci. She’ll bust out her compound bow, rub her axe tan, and shoot you straight through the gut if it happens again. (Sorry, I just wanted to use as many tired “inside jokes” as possible)
My first thought was that it might be a posed picture– like, “Let’s get the groom giving his new Mother-in-Law the death glare!” (I’ve heard of worse ideas out of wedding photographers.)
But then I thought, maybe this isn’t posed, and maybe the groom is shivering– his face looks red like he’s been outside in the cold for a while (rosy nose and cheeks), and the bride looks like she is mid-sentence and just got caught making a bit of an angry face. (Then again, wouldn’t the bride also be cold in her sleeveless dress? Maybe the groom has been drinking, hence the flushed appearance.)
It doesn’t even look like the groom is looking at either of the two women on the left side of the photo. It just looks like he got caught with a weird look on his face.
Regardless, though, it’s still a pretty good photo– a half-second later, and it might not have looked so weird!
From the expression on his face (as well as the positioning of his arms), my guess is that the time has come in the celebration to officially surrender the pants to the one who will now wear them in the marriage. Don’t fight it buddy…

I’m a different Sue, but was reading to the end of the comments before writing that it sure looks like the groom’s mom, rather than the bride’s!
i’m sorry i will do what she tells me from now on “mom”
A mate urged me to check out this site, brill post, fanstatic read… keep up the good work!
Mumsy looks more like the groom than the bride. Do we actually know that she’s mother-in-law rather than mother?
You are very smart Sue and correct!
In-laws, the worst thing about marriage.
“So kids, when do I move in with you?”

Definitely not you ex, never dated anyone named Laura.
Looks like Nicolette Sheridan from Desperate Housewives.
maybe he’s just cold…?? lol
It was at that moment when Calvin’s irritable bowel syndrome came on like a class 5 hurricane.
“I thought only my new wife got to hit me on the back of the head!?!?!?”
Woman in blue: “Whatever.”
For some reason my first posting didn’t make it. Which makes this posting totally pointless!
Try again -
Groom: “Go away, bad dream, go away.”
Bride: “I command you to leave this place. You are not welcome.”
Woman in Blue: “Whatever.”
Better?
He kind of looks cold to me…
wow, all of today’s photos made me laugh so much that it hurts….
Sorry, my bad. I was here first:
http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/2009/07/01/awkward-family-story-the-thanksgiving-letter/
uhm.
yes.
@Fraci1969
Do you mean Marney from emailsfromcrazypeople?
http://emailsfromcrazypeople.com/2009/08/20/giving-thanks-that-isnt-my-family/
I do.
Her letter was presented here as well, and the community has been referring to her ever since.
Isn’t this a scene from The Office? LOL!
Fire… BAD!!!
The groom has just been introduced to Mareen (hm, I’m not sure about the name. you all know her. the one with the Thanksgiving instructions.
Ooooh…I don’t think Marnie would be too happy with the look he’s giving her.
I think Marnie would be more upset about you getting her name wrong, Franci. She’ll bust out her compound bow, rub her axe tan, and shoot you straight through the gut if it happens again. (Sorry, I just wanted to use as many tired “inside jokes” as possible)
There are more than one of us here who should be afraid of the rage of Marney now, El Kev. You also got her name wrong
)
Now Tron-guy will have to bring his semi-auto assault rifle and photo-shop you!!!
XD

Young man stand up straight and stop slouching!
Looks like he’s whining “Do I really hafta marry her?? Reeeaaaalllyyy????”
that is the worst stink eye i have ever seen…. that dood isnt happy at all.
Flat out funny picture that doesn’t even need a caption. Any or all of the wonderful comments posted here could easily explain what’s going on ……..
Simply an itchy suit or an epiphinal moment regarding the rest of his mortal existence?
You decide.
Someone found a new use for the garter.
The groom clearly has to pee.
That’s what my husband said when he saw this photo!
Most of us start learning in kindergarten to be slightly more subtle about it than this.
hahahahahahaha
The hand is creepy. It looks like it is going to grab the bride!
“You!!!! You are the one who sent the mysterious floating hand to torment me!!”
This just makes my kidneys exalt with laughter!
Franks and beans!
There’s something about this great subtle reference!
HAHAHAHAHA!! Great movie line reference!! HAHAHA!!
The only one with somewhat of a smile is the woman in blue and it is more like a smirk. Good luck to the happy couple.

Actually, it’s not mom, it’s mom’s slightly kooky but obnoxiously wealthy twin brother Romney.
“AHHH Maaa!!! We don’t need to hear about what you & dad did on your honeymoon!”
I’m laughing myself silly over the subtitle, or caption under the photo!
I love it! What a great capture. One can only imagine what he’s thinking. The bride’s got her in her cross hairs as well!
He just found out mommy-in-law is joining them on the honeymoon.
“Meeeeuh, Mathew no like you. Mathew smash…meeeuh.”
LM*AO LOVE IT! HA HA HA HA
sweeeeet!
Bwah!! What the…?! I would really love the backstory on this one. Cummerbund too tight?!
yeah, squeezin him so hard, it’s makin his shoulders hunch up!
“Circle, circle. Dot, dot. Now you’ve got your cootie shot.”
Yeah, he’d be wise to learn how to make that face internally. I did that to my in-laws. They *really* hate me now.
Probably just a sneeze coming on from that giant boutonniere.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
There could be something going on underneath this pic….how do we know the bride isn’t groping him in appropriately??
If they’re married now, what would be inappropriate?
The fact that they’re in public?
The fact that they’re in a church?
(Oops!)
…or were, recently…
Maybe the mother-in-law just groped him
Dude, that’s my Mom, not Mother-in-law, GROSS!
Getting married is creepy. And SO awkward. Just skip to the honeymoon.
Two words: Prenuptial flatulence
If we hadn’t eloped I’m sure that would have been the look on my husband’s face.
Looks like he found out that she told her daughter what he was going to do to her that night…..
Classic facial expression of a new groom, when he realizes his nads are gone.
! 10 !
Awesome. Win!
I stopped reading at this comment. Can’t be topped.
Poor guy.
I know the feeling……………
(“Nothing dear! Just looking around on line.”)
