The Awkward Wedding Contest
After receiving thousands of amazing photos, we’re proud to announce our winner. Congratulations to Carrie for winning the contest and a $1000 Amazon.com gift card! Here’s the story in her own words:
“This is my husband and I on the morning of our wedding 20 years ago. We were having studio pictures taken and the local photographer proudly rolled out this faux bay window and told my soon-to-be-husband to “peek in from outside.”
Congratulations to our two runners-up, Dina and Jamie and thanks to everyone in the AFP community for so many amazing submissions!
“What’s more awkward than your Grandfather choosing to pose in your wedding photos in a bolo tie and sandwiched in between wife number two and one? Realizing when you get your photos back that your grandma chose to be forever remembered as Nanny One Shoe.”
“We got married on the beach in Playa del Carmen, and while we expected others besides our guests to be watching the ceremony, we never expected this guy. My father in law kept trying to get him to move and he just kept on taking pictures of our wedding.”

In honor of the outrageous new movie The Brothers Grimsby starring Sacha Baron Cohen (in theaters March 11th) we are proud to announce The Awkward Brothers photo gallery!
We’re shining a light on all the special moments of brotherhood including the face claws, the wedgies, and those times when we look at our siblings and wonder how exactly are we related again?

And check out The Brothers Grimsby on March 11th!
Kissing Cousins
“This is a photo of my cousins who are twins. We have no clue what the photographer was thinking, but this is one he showed the family. Let’s just say it was a simpler, more innocent time. They are a close family, but not THAT close!”

The Easter Bunny Is Packing
“This is my brother circa 1986. Is it just me, or is the Easter Bunny glad to see him?”

Good And Evil
“Everyone knows there has to be one good twin and one evil twin, but that changes from moment to moment. In our family, my daughter on the left is known for making horrible faces, and often we capture those on film by accident. We’re always hoping both girls will smile at the same time, but hey, you can’t have everything.”

Life Of The Party
“We had a photo booth at our wedding. I don’t think my brother-in-law understands how photo booths work.”
