    My husband and I have a similar photo. And, it was so stupid we had to get ot for our album. Does any photogrpaher really think that this is a good idea? Really!

    There’s surgery they can do for this condition: Bridectomy.

  3. Mandi says:

    My parents have this identical photo in the wedding album. Must’ve been a popular picture in the late 70′s, early 80′s lol

  4. john doe says:

    this picture scares me…

  5. allison says:

    does anyone know what this “technique” is called? the floating ghost image superimposed or somewhere in the background?

    What was going through his mind?

  7. Zooky says:

    Doesn’t that old, sweet song go, “She always on my mind…. she’s alwaaaays on my mind.” Not sure he meant it literally.

  8. Jill says:

    My Dad’s got the exact same photo from his second wedding circa 1976.

    • Marie says:

      My in-laws had the same style of wedding picture, too! Must have been the “in” thing to do in the 1970′s to not have a flattering picture of the husband taken.

  9. Brian says:

    I wonder if this was photoshopped.

    ;)

    I’m secretly hoping this wedding involved him switching tuxedos with Balki near the Chicago Theatre.
