They appear to be on a cliff. My guess is that is where the mother-in-law was seated, posing, before the unfortunate accident.
Good one!
ha ha – good one.
Yes!!
LOVE THAT!!!!!
Yup. I’m thinking it was his mom and he is too busy staring at her to have noticed yet. That’s why she is smiling so wide.
WIN!!!!!
I wish I would’ve thought of that with my first m-o-l!!!
That rock at the edge of that gorge could really use a velvety chair.
And the red chair symbolized……? Or was it just used to climb up onto that cliff!
this confuses me!
Be our guest, be our guest!
LOL! Best comment.
…to love and to chair-ish, until death us do part….
Ughhhhh….
AW, c’mon, that’s a great pun!
Sofa, so good.
Well played.
I’d loved to have watched them drag that chair up the mountain with them.
Climbing up the mountain??? Come on, folks: fake rocks, fake background… look closely.
Thanks for the buzz-kill Xanadu
…..I was just picturing myself up on top of that cascading mountain with the wind blowing through my hair…sharing that special moment with lovely couple…but not now….you ruined it for me and the newlyweds !!! I hope you can sleep tonight, knowing that you squashed all of our hopes and dreams of a happy life together…geez 
Not fake, i promise….thats me in the picture
We don’t need a stylish marriage, we can’t afford a carriage,
But you’ll look sweet upon the seat of a red velvet chair for two!
bwaaaaahahahahaha!
“With this chair I bewed…”
Ummmm… it’s actually “I thee wed.”
hahahahaha…. thats funny!!
Maybe it’s for an imaginary family member……
This is nuts….and He coulda cleaned up his shoes…It is his wedding photos…UGH
How could he? He got them dirty climbing up that cliff.
You guys are hysterical!
Her dress is GORGEOUS!!!
The background is cool… but the chair is just stupid!
No no, Ive been to that mountain top, funnily enough there is a red velvet chair there.
No way! the chair is a regular fixture! That’s awesome/awkward.
The background looks fake–but the chair is just strange, strange, strange…
Maybe they are religious, and the chair is for Jesus, who is invited to be one with them in the marriage.
Yeah, cuz Jesus gets tired too.
WWJS – Where Would Jesus Sit?
FUNNY
Am I the only person who thinks that background looks fake? However, the dirt on his shoes makes me wonder if it is. What’s the chair supposed to symbolize anyway? My husband says it’s there to cover the stain on his pants. Ha ha. (I hope not.)
It’s a photo done in a Portrait Studio. The background is a “drop” and the cliff is hollow resin mold
Ok so, yes the background is real people… I am the one in the photo. Haha its her grandmas chair, and was meant to be a funny picture…. Its all real though, and it was absolutely gorgeous out there, and I have no idea how this photo was found and uploaded. But whatever its cool….and funny.
I thought the same thing about the stain (either on his pants or a big ink one on her dress). They could have had the ring bearer or an usher walking around the ceremony with the chair blocking the blotch from view.
Oh wait, ‘climb every mountain, ford every stream, always carry a red velvet chair, incase you have to lean’
Perfect…you win!
Photographer: “Great choice for the backdrop. Now, would you like to use one of our many props?”
Haha!
This is way beyond awkward. This is just plain silly.
This also looks photo shopped.
The natural wedding backgrounds are so lovely.
If they’re on the edge of the cliff, where the heck is the photographer standing?
He’s in a hovering helicopter!
That’’s Right – too funny!
i keep expecting the M*A*S*H chopper to fly in over the hills…….all together now *Suicide is painless…it brings on many changes…….. *
I’m wondering if they used the chair in a different shot (one of them sitting down),and just happened to use it in this shot too? (darnnit, we carried this chair up here, we’re going to use it!) ugly chair though.
“It all started with a chair.”
Juno FTW!
This is in Utah, and it’s not photoshopped. I bet they were taking pictures with the bride seated before this awkward picture was taken.
Yeah, agreed. I live in Western Colorado and this is sort of your garden variety wedding, senior portrait or family photo background in our region of the country. Well..minus the red chair.
I live in Idaho, and ditto. My wedding photo was very similar, taken outdoors in a mountain setting. I chose a blue vinyl lawn chair for mine though. (kidding about the chair part, of course)
What? you didn’t use one of those mass-produced 2-fer-$10 white Wally World chairs? That would have been a perfect accent to the Little City of Rocks…
the chair is not my son…
Are you channeling Michael Jackson?
Who will win this last round of Musical Chairs? The suspense is killing me!
I do thee, and thy chair, wed.
With this chair I do thee wed.
This looks like a branch off from those contest reality shows:
Survivor: Marriage
“One Bride. One Groom. One Overstuffed Red Velvet Chair. Three will enter the desert, only one will survive. “
win !!!!!!
The more awkward reality of this picture is that the photographer probably sets every couple that come in to get studio portraits done in this “scene” and there are hundreds of this pic with different people
“Because having Grandma here in spirit wasn’t enough for us.”
Thats dead on!! …That is the reason I we brought the chair with us…other photos looked better with it though…
It would be a really pretty picture WITHOUT THE CHAIR! How weird.
It reminds me of those really weird pottery barn staged photos where they have his ultra pretty bed, with quilted sheets, etc….and they have it set in an old barn. Like that’s really what would happen. Reality Check.
Or maybe they were just huge fans of Depeche Mode
They are the last ones left in a rousing game of musical chairs. Wonder who won?
Why, the viewers of AFP, of course!
Well, obviously it’s one of the many compromises they made for their special day. He wanted an outdoorsie, mountainman theme and she wanted a sophisticated, red velvet affair!!!
Signing the marriage register,the pastor said “Come in,take a chair”……AND HE DID !!
Rim shot!
“Yeah, this would be so much more colorful if we had a splash of red in the picture. Anyone have a glass of red wine, or a red rose?”
“How about a chair?”
“Um, yeah, okay, sure a chair would look perfectly natural in the mountains. Good thinking.”
Thats comedy Missy….good one
Hmmm…who was on the chair a few seconds ago?
When she married, he said it would last forever. But then she tried to reupholster him, and he just couldn’t change. Eventually she was forced to put him on EBay, and he went to the highest bidder. She was left with 4 little dents in the carpet and this picture to remember him by. I wonder who the guy is?
They met at a resturant he gave her his chair and that was what started a steamy love affair.
What appears to be a chair may actually be a very unusually shaped rock formation covered in red moss.
