Wedding
The Meatball Metaphor
“My sister’s wedding reception came to an abrupt halt when our Dad collapsed and was taken away in an ambulance. Thankfully our Dad survived but we insisted she eat something before going to the hospital and when she opened up the food, a bag full of meatballs and gravy tumbled onto her dress which was a pretty apt metaphor for the day!”

No Flipping
“Here’s my Mom and Dad in September 1970. This was always my favorite photo from their wedding because it’s just so cornball. You have to give credit to the photographer for the picture of my dad in the TV. This was years before Photoshop, so I’m not sure how the heck he pulled this trick off.”

A Pose They Couldn’t Refuse
“My parents’ wedding, circa 1986. Apparently, the Marlon Brando ‘Godfather‘ pose was very in back then. Cheers to the happy wedding couple? I’m not quite sure!”

Groom’s New Groove
“The photographer had a great idea for my sister’s wedding pics. My sister is the bride & I am the bridesmaid on the right.”

Everybody Garter ‘Round
“This photo is from my wedding day in 2005. I’m not really sure why the photographer thought it would be cool for everyone to touch my garter. What’s even more awkward is that my dad got stuck in the back of the picture!”

Eyes Wide Open
“At our wedding in QLD Australia in 1993, the photographer took a lot of photos with our eyes closed but she said it would be fine because she could get the eyes painted on which cost us a fortune. But I guess it was worth it?”

Autumnal Spirit
“Our wedding was held over Thanksgiving at my grandparents church and they wanted to keep the festive decor in place for our ceremony.”

The Quiet War
“During our wedding vows, while my husband promised to love my kids as his own, my kids were whisper-screaming at each other the whole time.”
