That lady’s collar would come in handy in the desert for catching rainwater. It reminds me of those cones that canines have to wear to prevent them from biting and scratching themselves raw.
I’m confused to say the least…everyone has mentioned the weird collar, which is definitely weird. But who’s in this picture? At first I thought the suits were the groomsmen but then I realized there don’t appear to be any bridesmaids. Is this just family? So strange.
In some countries it is the custom to use young girls as attendants. I think Princess Diana’s wedding was that way. That still doesn’t explain the young boys, though.
It almost looks like the woman on the right with the flower girl and the woman on the far left have the same neckline. But if they’re wearing matching bridesmaid dresses it must have been a very unbalanced procession up the aisle.
Looks like a group photo of the extended Addams Family! Not helped by the fact that *everyone’s* wearing black except for the mother of the groom (?) in navy blue…
Oh yeah, and look at miss cleavage in the navy, same row as the bride with VERY high neckline. Such contrasts in clothing. Not to mention Miss It’s All About ME, sitting in front there. My, my, my!
I love how all the men with exception of one of them in the back row is wearing a tie, and not a tux and bow tie.
Someone must have gotten to the dry cleaner’s after it closed.
i’m wearing purple lace tights…right now. To work. In Manhattan. The kids outside my building asked if I was a witch. But I love these purple lace tights!
The best thing about this photo is it could have been taken yesterday in large parts of the Northeast, My daughter works in Manhattan and loves every minute. Take care up there!
Ha! finally a mother of the bride that wore something more outrageous than my mother who wore a white suite with gold ribbon all over it with this huge hate with a big gold ribbon.
I’m getting an Eastern European vibe here…..just sayin’, maybe it’s totally normal to wear gigantic collars and glare in wedding photos. Not to mention the bride’s bizarre headwear. Definitely awkward.
I’m guessing You are from USA.
Contrary to Your idea about East Europe – people know what to wear at weddings and have knowledge about the world outside their countries’ borders.
Looking at this photo and judging by fashion – it was obviously taken in 80′s or early 90′s. Nevertheless – mother of the bride wanted to shine way too much.
And I am guessing your a total wet blanket who is not keeping up with the spirit of AFP. Not to worry sunshine you’ll get it someday or just be a party pooper all of you life. I am also guessing the later.
When I visited my relatives in Poland…. granted, this was in about 1981… everyone had wedding photos on their walls with Exactly. The. Same. Expression. As. The. People. In. This. Photo. So… maybe. My vote is Poland.
haha. I think the mother of the bride was a little bit jealous of all the attention her daughter was getting. That huge collar was sure to give her the attention she was due!!!
She is sooo trying to steal the limelight from her daughter-look at me!! Afterall when you first look at the picture, who do you notice first? Not the bride!
And Sereli, that’s so awful. So very, very bad but really funny too. It took me a full minute to find the bride.
The collar and tights must be hiding a person in there, oh yeah, got it. Whoa. With the facial resemblance, that seems to be Mom there. Jeepers. Do they not have mirrors there? Or were they hogged by your one in the Barbie pyjamas? Why is there only one adult smiling? Or is she smirking?

I have to say, the woman with the huge collar is AWESOME. I wish she could have been in my wedding photos.
I think the woman with the collar is Marney. From the look on everyone’s face that’s the only plausible explanation.
Yeah, that sure looks like a regulation collar to me.
Say I do… or die
It’s Sleeping Beauty’s wedding-they invited Maleficent to extend the olive branch. She took off her hat for the picture.
HAHA yes… they should have added an old spinning wheel to the front as a prop.
She obviously has space issues so she wore her “personal space” collar for the picture.
You should see her collar she wears to keep people out of her “Social space.”
And people always talk about bridezillas. I think we have a mom-zilla here.
I haven’t seen so much unhappiness since the photo of the kids standing at the Haight-Ashbury intersection.
Bwahahaha! Those kids weren’t impressed either!
such a happy occasion!
This is the best one I’ve ever seen here and have been coming daily for a long time. A keeper for inclusion in another book.
“Mirror mirror on the wall” This is the evil stepmother from SnowWhite
That lady’s collar would come in handy in the desert for catching rainwater. It reminds me of those cones that canines have to wear to prevent them from biting and scratching themselves raw.
Well,maybe the vet put it on her to stop her chewing her stitches.
OMG, that has to be one of the funniest responses here! You guys are hysterical.
For the most part, the women all have the same basic hairstyle. Now THAT’s getting in the spirit of things–giant collar notwithstanding.
This isn’t actually a wedding picture. They’re an all ages a capella singing troup.
dammit you made me spit out my coke
I want to see the fight for the bouquet
Someone will come away with a black eye for sure.
That woman in the collar must be a Time Lord.
That’s what you get for inviting Ivana Trump to your wedding.
Even the children look intimidating!
What’s with the guy in the tie? didn’t he get the word it was BOW TIE for the formal pic?
I count 28 faces in the picture. Of course, that doesn’t include anyone hidden behind the bride-mother’s collar.
I’m confused to say the least…everyone has mentioned the weird collar, which is definitely weird. But who’s in this picture? At first I thought the suits were the groomsmen but then I realized there don’t appear to be any bridesmaids. Is this just family? So strange.
Not to mention the mass amount of flower girls and ring bearers???

I think I have an idea of how this bride might feel – my mother wore white to my wedding.
Looks like a group photo of the extended Addams Family! Not helped by the fact that *everyone’s* wearing black except for the mother of the groom (?) in navy blue…
Oh yeah, and look at miss cleavage in the navy, same row as the bride with VERY high neckline. Such contrasts in clothing. Not to mention Miss It’s All About ME, sitting in front there. My, my, my!
Dear, oh dear! Can anyone say “mother-in-law”? I sense many years of distress and woe ahead.
The rice toss alone was 14 tons
The dude in the middle of the back row looks like he has crazy big hair, but on closer look it’s just the shadows.
It’s a wardrobe malfunction. The sombrero she was wearing suddenly ripped and fell over her head and onto her shoulders.
Hello collar lady, I’d like to introduce you to cigar guy…
Whoa, portrait collar! You deserve your own moment in the spotlight for that incredible feat of tailoring.
I love how all the men with exception of one of them in the back row is wearing a tie, and not a tux and bow tie.
Someone must have gotten to the dry cleaner’s after it closed.
Once I tore my eyes away from the mother of the bride I kept coming back to that guy.
What happened at this wedding to make everyone so miserable?
What about the one who came in her nightie? Far left… she almost gets the same grade as the mom – lol.
Yeah, could that BE cut any lower?
Everyone keeps commenting on her crazy collar…BUT have you checked out the PURPLE LACE TIGHTS she’s wearing!?!? Hello! LOL! *wow*
i’m wearing purple lace tights…right now. To work. In Manhattan. The kids outside my building asked if I was a witch. But I love these purple lace tights!

Married to the Mob.
And I thought my grandmother wearing a camo dress to my wedding made her stick out in pictures, that woman’s collar is huge!
Maybe Grandma was trying to blend in to the foliage so as not to take attention away from you!
First thought, How did Florence Henderson wearing a Dancing with the Stars outfit end up in this wedding pic?
That one made me laugh out loud!!! After you said I thought the same thing too!!
This must be one of them new GREEN weddings..
The huge collar is a SOLAR pannel to run lights for the wedding..
Ha! finally a mother of the bride that wore something more outrageous than my mother who wore a white suite with gold ribbon all over it with this huge hate with a big gold ribbon.
bizaaaar! even the kids arent smiling.
Huge hate? Ah…you hated the hat.
Freudian slip.
We need a photo or it didn’t happen.
Seriously…your not supposed to upstage the bride! Maybe she’s trying to distract us from bridey’s bonnet?
yikes
It was Joan Collins. With a collar wing. In the conservatory.
OMG that was funny
FTW! LOL
LOL!!
OMG total win!
Win!! LOL
Oh, that is too funny!!!
What was your first clue?
bwah ha ha ha!
Ha! Awesome!
hahaha and it’s patsylynn with the win!
This is awesome. I wish my family was dysfunctional in a sort of awesome-bizarre way instead of the nerve grating, painful way.
hahahahaha Shannon. Feelin your pain.
I’m getting an Eastern European vibe here…..just sayin’, maybe it’s totally normal to wear gigantic collars and glare in wedding photos. Not to mention the bride’s bizarre headwear. Definitely awkward.
Nah…typical jersey family.
Naww It’s the “family” and that is all I can sa……………
I’m guessing You are from USA.
Contrary to Your idea about East Europe – people know what to wear at weddings and have knowledge about the world outside their countries’ borders.
Looking at this photo and judging by fashion – it was obviously taken in 80′s or early 90′s. Nevertheless – mother of the bride wanted to shine way too much.
I always find it extremely entertaining when people stereotype Americans as stereotyping everybody else.
I’m guessing that Juliette is Eastern European
I don’t think it’s called a stereotype when it is true. As an ex-pat I learned a lot about how the world sees us and why.
I think Steph was joking.
Anyhow, it is still a stereotype when you generalize a characteristic of one (or a hundred) people to an entire country, race, gender, etc.
And I am guessing your a total wet blanket who is not keeping up with the spirit of AFP. Not to worry sunshine you’ll get it someday or just be a party pooper all of you life. I am also guessing the later.
When I visited my relatives in Poland…. granted, this was in about 1981… everyone had wedding photos on their walls with Exactly. The. Same. Expression. As. The. People. In. This. Photo. So… maybe. My vote is Poland.
Were they holding apples and standing next to giant violins?
The woman in the front row, far right, must be an in-law (she’s the only one smiling).
An in-law who wants out. Can’t you see the plea for help in her smile??
The chick with the collar makes this picture.
Not only that, but my wedding party can kick your wedding party’s ever-loving a**.
Isnt that what the caption says ?…..
The ever-loving part is funny. C’mon, be nice.
No, it is not what the caption says.
haha. I think the mother of the bride was a little bit jealous of all the attention her daughter was getting. That huge collar was sure to give her the attention she was due!!!
Looks like a group mug shot.
What is with the woman to the left of the bride? Did she just come from a Halloween party? wtf?
No kidding! Talk about upstaging the bride!
She paid for the wedding, she’s going to make sure everyone notices her!
What bride? Where?
Well, we can’t have the bride getting all the attention now can we?!?!?!?
What’s with the lady with the huge collar?? Like a vampiress/Elvira/tempress. She really thinks this is wedding appropriate??
She is sooo trying to steal the limelight from her daughter-look at me!! Afterall when you first look at the picture, who do you notice first? Not the bride!
you’re so right!
Beana… I have to ask is your name Serena? Off topic I know but my daughters name is Serena and I have called her Beana since she was a baby. =)
She has to be the mother-in-law. No way would a mother do that to her daughter. Or she could be the ambassador from the planet Alderaan. . . .
Has to be the mother or the sister…she looks just like the bride. Nice.
Could be step-mom…
I was trying to figure out the reason for the family photo, and then I saw a bride hiding under that giant collar.
I think she looks Absolutely Fabulous!
I was thinking she was very “Patsy” as well!!
I would so love to know what is on her legs as well…are those purple leggings? Lacey insert to a skirt? Yikes.
That’s Aunt Cruella. She’s just stopping off on her way to visit some friends and their puppies.
Yes, her collar, but did you also see her legs?! My gosh, her LEGS!! What is that? A slip up to her, well, you know.
I’m with you Sharie. Oh my.
And Sereli, that’s so awful. So very, very bad but really funny too. It took me a full minute to find the bride.
