Behind The Awkwardness: Napkin Please
June 9th, 2010
“My Uncle’s wedding with his new wife. A picture perfect moment as they ride away in their petty cab… ruined by my sister accidentally throwing a red napkin instead of a rose petal.”
(submitted by Addison)
love it!1
The first thing that came to mind is a song by the Monks from their Bad Habits album – Nice Legs, Shame About The Face
I’m getting a New Orleans-ish vibe from this. Maybe it’s the groom–he looks like a jazz musician to me. Cool cat.
I’m the groom in that shot and I AM a musician. But it’s Portland OR.
You look a lot like saxophonist Max Ray. You’re not are you?
I did not think of Lady Gaga. In other news, the ‘gracious’ pose with her arms out makes the napkin-in-face all the more perfect.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why doesn’t anything like this happen at weddings I go to? AWESOME!
Lady Gaga?
epic snapshot!!!
She still looks excited to have that on her face. You go bride, you go.
In the spirit of Lady Gaga, she made sure he can’t read her napkin face
Face, meet napkin. Napkin, meet face. Pic, meet win. Win, meet pic
I love this picture. I love that it’s a wedding picture but the bride is in red, not white. I love that everyone is happy (well, can’t tell with the bride but the hand movement looks happy). I love the napkin. Total classic.
I wanna see more brides say no to white and start wearing COLOR, too. Not just on AFP. Everywhere.
…and she still looks FAB-U-LOUS!
This looks like such a fun wedding. I wish I had been on the guest list. What could better than a wedding that includes a Pedi cab,a stylish groom in a snazzy hat and shades a leggy bride in a bright red dress, and a little old lady in blue with a big sun hat. All I can say it this is all kinds of AWESOME!!
Heheh. The Groom is waving “Thank you! Now I can be the star in the wedding for a change!”
The awkward community celebrates Duluth’s first successful napkin face transplant.
Wonderful color-coordinated awkwardness…although I’m a little concerned about the woman at the left edge with the boy’s leg sticking out of whatever she’s holding!
I thought she was wearing a red bib in a windstorm.
I like the lady in blue with the hat! Dude, she’s awesome awkward!
I noticed that lady, too. She steals the show!
it is a PEDIcab (from the latin ped – for foot).
oh jeez nobody cares…some people are so picky!
Speaking of petty . . . pot – kettle – black?
(Just kidding, Misty! I’m a former proofreader and stuff like that makes me crazy, too! I am very picky and I admit that I can be a bit petty about it sometimes.)
Actually, many people DO care.
Although if li’l sis is getting revenge with that napkin, it is indeed a petty cab …
Take me, I’m all yours…except the face.
I take back my Lady Gaga comment.
I made it when no other comments were posted.
I thought I was so clever and original.
Obviously not.
Delete.
I did the same thing. I thought i was really onto something, and everyone was going to applaud me for my wit. I have to face my mediocrity one day.
ROFLMAO!! yes the Lady Gaga comments were getting rather monotonous but don’t worry, you guys totally made up for it here!! haha…
)
That’s funny!
I only wish those tiresome “Photoshop!” dolts would be so gracious!
“……………always the bridesmaid eh?!?!?” marnie FINALLY got her revenge!
Ha. Very good. Yeah it was an accident all right.
“Thanks everyone. It was wonderful and now it’s off to the …” Splat. Napkin in the face.
Screw with Marnie will ya?
I’m the king of the world!
I was thankful for the explanation about it being a napkin. I was scared this marriage was already doomed and he had thrown in the towel…literally!
I’m with the rest of them… I thought it was a Lady Gaga wedding lol
the legs are very easy on the eye
She threw a napkin, it blew into her face, she removed it. RUINED?? I think not. What’s the big deal? Take another picture.
The submitter doesn’t seem half as upset by the napkin as you do by her choice of wording…
Too bad you weren’t there Harry. This is absolutely the only picture they got.
Nope, this was just my neice taking a picture. The actual wedding photographer got many nice shots. BTW the napkin didn’t even touch my wife’s face it just came between her and the camera.
OK, decaf from now on for you, Harry!
I assume a “petty cab” is a cab which behaves churlishly in insignificant matters out of sheer spite.
Or a misunderstanding of the word pedicab.
One of the two.
lol yes, it must be one or the other
Ha! Thats a win. Nice work.
My thoughts exactly!
Second time I have snort/laughed in 10 minutes on this site.
Some very funny people.
I love the word “churlishly” and I vow I will try to work it into one of my future comments.
I’m still trying to work out in my mind how you confuse a rose petal with a fully unfolded red napkin….I have my doubts
How do you throw a napkin? Wouldn’t it just float gently?
Ah. Good two sea the ole grammar Nazi wore machine is up and running. Nothin’ like the smell of diesel en the mourning.
(Okay, I must admit that the use of the word “churlishly” does win you points. So, you win this time, but the war isn’t over grammar Nazi.)
I’m Tellin’ Y’all It’s Sabotage!
Either this is a funny FAIL. Or the uncle married Lady Gaga?
Hopefully the napking wasn’t used for something like a meatball sub….
i think she’s joking, playing like Lady Gaga in her red dress and face covering?
I thought it was Gaga until I read the caption!
Lady Gaga???
“Accidentally” threw a red napkin huh? Someone does not like their new Auntie!
AWESOME timing on the pic……I got great sequence shots of my brother at his wedding when he opened up his car door and smelled the Limburger cheese my Dad had stuck in there HOURS before…..priceless!
You should totally submit that!
…and lady GaGa was born.
The bride’s arms look like she’s getting ready to belt out the last phrase of a big song: “If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere….”
I completely agree! Looks like she can really belt it out!
It’s LIIIIIZZZAAA!
How does someone “accidently” throw a red napkin instead of a rose petal?
first thing i said to myself-”that was no accident!”
the new auntie need to learn her place!
Damn straight she does, napkin to the face!
I think somebody was a little jealous.
Thought she was going for that Lady Gaga look.
And this is where Lady Gaga got her inspiration. Outta my face!
this cracked me up! I love it…perfect timing with that shot.
I thought maybe it was a Lady Gaga costume.
The Fates have a sense of humor, so of course it hits her in the face— instead of harmlessly blowing right by her…..
Doesn’t Lady Gaga have a costume that looks JUST like that?
the moment wasn’t ruined by the napkin! it was made a thousand times better!
and here i thought it was a lady gaga impression
I was going to say the same thing, sad isn’t it?
I thought the same thing! Lady GaGa!
hahahh i was totally thinking LADY GAGA!!
Yep. Gaga.
My thoughts exactly!
Despite being in the Witness Protection Program, Marge managed to lead a full and satisfying life.
Win!
LM*AO!!!! Win!
win what? the prize is a red napkin
Let them Eat Cake! Now they have the napkin to go with it!
FTW!
