Behind The Awkwardness: Potty Mouth
August 31st, 2010
This picture was taken at my wedding, which took place outdoors and yes we did have a port-a-potty for our guests. My uncle was the photographer and this was a sign of his “professionalism.”

Meh, call me what you want, but I think if you have the nerve to ask the people you care enough about to spend the most important day of your life to date with you and then expect them to use a disgusting port-a-potty, you deserve a pic like this =)
even with the port-a-potty, you still look like a beautiful bride
Giant bridezilla smells her victim hid in in the portalette!!!
With some photoshop magic this picture will be gorgeous again, but it’s also a lot of fun the way it is! You really were a beautiful bride, you look like you stepped out of a bridal dress magazine! Hope you had a wonderful wedding and have a great married life.
This is an amazing pic of the Port-a-Potty….I know somebody who could Photoshop that Pesky bride right out of the pic
Well, you still look beautiful despite the potty. I hope you had a great day and I wish you much happiness in your marriage. You clearly have a sense of humor, so you’re off to a good start.
If this photo was a Lynyrd Skynyrd song, it would be “That Smell”!
You know, with a little bit of Photoshop skills you could remove that woman that is blocking the picture of the porta-potty!
Please tell me her husband’s name is “John.”
I really must say you are breathtakingly gorgeous. Easily the second most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen…..wait I forgot about Mom’s wedding photos, so you’re third.
Katie, your hair and make-up is absolutely flawless! I’m sure your uncle never noticed anything in his shot but his beautiful niece.
Katie, you are stunning with or without the portaloo!
Could have easily edited this one out?
It is a really good shot of you, you know you could get the potty edited out by any decent professional. My uncle has his own photography/graphics arts shop and he does things like that.
maybe you could introduce your uncle to her uncle and they could start a new business!
Some photoshop and you can get rid of the van, the boat, even the port-a-potty.
Bonus points if her husband is named John!
“Ever worried about toilet breath? Try new ‘Stench Away’ & kiss goodbye to that awful after taste”
How is this an awkward family photo? I am a purist!!!!! This website is turning into FunnyPhotos.com
Kish, while we respect your opinion, a wedding photo of a bride looking like she is about to swallow a port-a-potty qualifies as awkward for us. And we certainly don’t feel like we’ve failed if people also find it funny
AFP
I second the admin! How can this photo NOT be construed as awkward? And her uncle took the photo…making it an official AFP.
“A critic is a man who judges what he cannot achieve.” I forget who said that.
I now pronounce you john and wife. You may now kiss the port-a-potty.
Pretty good.
Thank God for Photoshop…
It’s a beautiful pic however, maybe just crop out the port a potty?
Oh, and look out-a truck is about to drive into the back of your neck! :O
Very beautiful picture, despite the potty! Hope it can be photoshopped out!
DONT LOOK A GIFT HORSE IN THE MOUTH,YOUR UNCLE TOOK THE PICTURES I’M GUESSING FOR FREE. OR DONT LOOK A POTTY IN THE MOUTH?
What?
you sound like a fun gal, Joan. Written any thanksgiving instructions to rellies recently?
Rebecca FTW!
This is why the good Lord made Photoshop.
Probably got what you paid for from your Uncle….
Shooting outdoors is always tricky. There’s also a small tree trunk (?) holding up her chin! Too funny. Beautiful bride, tho. Wishing a lifetime of blissful years to you!
Katie, you are a beautiful bride and I love your sense of humor! BUT!!! Please consider having the portapotty photoshopped out of your album..lol Many wishes for a happy life!
So John is the groom?
HA!
What a potty mouth…..
Maybe that can be photoshopped out? Along with the boat dock?
The potty is unfortunate. So if the parking lot, or whatever that is on the left. I could photoshop those out in 10 minutes. Email me at rachel@freshcreativeco.com if you’d like and I’ll do it for free.
Great pic! lol You do look gorgeous though, even while you are sniffy the potty.
This is one pic that should be photoshopped.
I agree. She looks so lovely. If not for the potty this would be a beautiful photo.
How come the porta potty wasn’t decorated with flowers and silk?
LOL! LOL!
Regardless, you make a beautiful bride.
you can always photoshop it out of the picture. beside that, very nice!
I’m trying to imagine getting into a port-a-potty w/a wedding dress on (or formal wear) and . . . I can’t.
oh well, she probably had herself catheratized for the event…hahahahahaaaa
I heard they now have something called “bridal diapers” to avoid the issue entirely.
Thanks, ladies…now I’ll never be able to hug a bride again.
That is disgusting!!!
This reminds me of an optical illusion photo that appeared in a national college newspaper insert dubbed “The Man Who Likes To Eat Planes,” where the subject was standing on the beach and “eating” the airplane in the background that appeared to be flying into his mouth. I think The Woman Who Likes To Lovingly Nuzzle Port-A-Potties takes that idea in a bold new direction.
Portable elimination cubicles are ubiquitous nowadays. The real problem here is the juxtaposition of this particular outhouse with the bride’s mouth. As the caption implies, it does indeed look like she’s about to chomp on it.
Thanks for the explanation Rick D, I would have never figured it out by myself.
Great comment, M!
Captain Obvious, at last you’ve arrived!
LOL!
I can’t help think that maybe Rick was being a little sarcastic?
mmm, not too sure about that.
There is no sarcasm allowed on this site — ask Marnie
This picture is awesome! At least there is no one coming out of the porta-potty with a newspaper tucked under one arm and a lighted match in hand!
LOL!
Hahahaha!!! Best comment EVER!!
Comment. WIN.
LMAO!!!!!
Awkward! He should have invested in a wide aperture lens.
that’s what I was thinking! he needs a nifty fifty
I never realized how important background is when taking a photo. This looks like a movie still from ‘Invasion of the Giant Beautiful Bride’ …right before she destroys the mad scientist’s lab.
One thing that you learn from this site is to check your background before you shoot the picture. But Katie I have to agree with these other comments by also saying that you are beautiful. Your husband is a lucky man and I hope you have many years of happiness together. If you don’t, your husband is an idiot.
Just because she is beautiful, her husband is lucky? Does that mean all the ugly women out there have married very unfortunate men? And what if she’s psycho? Does the beauty negate any possible personality flaws? You’re comment is awkward.
Your misuse of “you’re” is awkward.
Sigh…why me?
hahahahaha!
You are gorgeous–even w/ the awkwardness
I bet he did it for free..you get what you pay for.
Haha the picture is unfortunate, but I just have to say…you look astonishing.
was it hot? You look flushed.
Ha ha yes!
BAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!
Win
ding, ding, ding…winner !!!
Regardless of the potty, you made a lovely bride.
No matter. Still a smoking hot POA bride.
Only a POS calls a woman a POA.
LOL about the POS calling the woman a POA
you tell im wanda. POS, lol.
LMAO
Only a feminist takes just about anything and gets offended by it.
U mad?
As said by the walking ATM. Oh, did I offend you?
I’m really surprised the AFP moderators let that comment through
THAT is hilarious!
