Embarrassing Wedding Day Moments Caught on Camera

There is no perfect wedding day. Usually, people remember their special day as crying kids, belligerent guests, a messy bride—the day can turn into chaos instantly! These weddings were not the dream scenario, but they made for some pretty funny fails!

Zero Gravity

This wedding is out of this world, literally! this couple got hitched in a zero-gravity chamber, which led to a pretty crazy picture. However, it could have easily gone very wrong if that bride floated upside down. 

Owl Say "I Do"

It kind of looks like this woman is getting married to a flying bird. Actually, the groom is just in the spot where a bird is in the way of a great photo. Although, you could argue this was a way cooler shot!

Shrek Wedding

Shrek wedding... what else is there to say aside from just...this is a Shrek-themed wedding. Don't get green with envy, you can probably recreate this theme with a trip to a dollar store and some green face paint. 

Unveiled

Photoshop magic can only do so much, sometimes a real person has to get involved behind the scenes. This lady had her friend handle a flowing veil, but someone caught the preparation action. What a magical day with clever magic!

Cake Crash

There's nothing worse than a cake fail, but at weddings, they are pretty prevalent. These people thought ahead and managed not to spill the cupcakes, but the actual cake didn't get the same credit. Poor fallen sugar...

Brotherly Love

This woman was trying to get a sweet shot with her brothers and dad when the wind swept her veil over her face. Though not ideal, it was still a pretty fun picture. This is a family that definitely likes to laugh!

Falling Forward

Ah, there's nothing like a good ol' fashioned cake-fail in a wedding. This guy took a spill in front of everyone, including the bride and groom! Thankfully, they seem to be fairly at ease about the whole thing. 

Seafoam Wedding

This could have been an amazing shot, but the ocean had other ideas. If you glance, it does just look like a longer dress. Maybe she could make these pictures work with a lot of photoshop!

Runway or Aisle?

Who said you had to walk down the aisle when you could just as easily strut? This guy has no shirt, some roller skates, and a whole lot of attitude. The song he's going to is probably so good...

Flying Up

A windy bridal day is something to worry about. Your hair gets messed up, tablecloths are blowing around, and the dress could take you up in the air! This lady learned her lesson the hard way...

Delta...

This couple was going to have a destination, but the suit went to a different destination! They made it work somehow and this guy had a pretty good sense of humor. What a hilarious way to get through this mishap!

Going Down For Real

Oh no, this is certainly not good for the ol' self-esteem. These people all got on a dock together, but the dock could definitely not hold their collective weight. That dress is probably not so white anymore huh...

Not Ready

 The poor bridesmaids couldn't handle this groom making a dive, and he fell right onto the floor! Someone better get this guy some ice before his ego is as hurt as his body. It's his own fault for making a surprise jump!

Photographer Fallen

Wedding photography is no easy job. Running on your feet all day, following around the bridal parties with only a short break for a snack. This lowly photographer was a bit tired when he was getting the party ready for their big photo after the ceremony. Timber!

Can't Let Go

A mother-in-law could be a blessing...or a curse! The mother of the groom was unable to give up the spotlight for the bride, so she decided to wear her own wedding dress to her the coouple's wedding. This is the definition of a monster-in-law!

Kiddie Curse

Weddings are fun for adults and super boring for children. Obviously, none of these kiddos were excited to be in the picture or even being at the wedding at all. They're showing off only two smiles out of nine, and let's be real, that's a pretty nice ratio given the circumstances.

Party Pooper

What was the reasoning behind this picture? The only narrative that would make any sense is that their family now owns the port-o-potty company, but even then... why show it off like this? Sounds like a couple of party poopers...

Spot the Problem

Only the bride should be the one wearing white... but there are many mothers of many grooms who think that they deserve the precious color. Even more so, they want to make a new norm of wearing their old wedding dress to the new bride's wedding. Nightmare!

Calm Before the Storm

This photo was taken only a few seconds before that groomsman completely wrecked his leg on the falling golf cart. Truthfully, the end-goal is a bit complicated. Did he want to brush up dirt for the picture or just completely photobomb it? Who cares. 

Are You Okay?

Yeah, that looks like what everyone expected it would look like. At least he managed to save all of his limbs after the accident! The couple, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be very pleased... 

Upside Down

There are so many nightmarish tales out there of friends getting drunk at their friend's wedding. Don’t let yourself become a character in that legend. Unless, of course, you want these types of photos captured for the rest of time...

Kid Fight

This is a hilarious false expectation! The Maid of Honor probably shouldn't have battled a 10-year-old for what is literally just a bouquet of flowers with no meaning. At least she owned up to the mistake...

No Kids!

Not every little girl wants to throw around some flowers. This girl was hoping the pictures would be over fairly soon, but obviously, they were not. Maybe she at least got a bit of a nap at least!

Doggonit!

When nature calls, nature calls. This bridal puppy had to take a quick peeing break before resuming the photoshoot with his laughing owners. I guess there's no alternative, ick!

Crash and Burn

If couples believe in signs, this has got to be a bad one. Their car crashed right after their special event, and they had the bright idea to snap a picture of it. Hopefully, everything worked out for these two...

Squirrel Attack

This photographer was going for a very artsy look when someone had other ideas for the pose... the photographer ended up snapping a pretty funny photo! Unfortunately, the bride seems pretty unhappy here, but it was well worth the trouble. 

What's Going On Here? 

It looks like this biker took the bride away with the bike... How does that even come to be? Were they getting married in the middle of a race? Was Lance Armstrong the officiant? So many questions, not nearly enough answers...

Sleepy Time

This Tennessee wedding couple wanted to have their newborn daughter attached to the bride’s trail. The poor child is being slugged down the aisle as her mother gets walked to the front. Crazily enough, the whole party thought that this was normal enough to share on Twitter...

Bare Wedding or Strapless Dress?

Strapless dresses are elegant and beautiful... from the front. They're not as cute when you're behind them in the pew. A wedding guest thought it was so wild to see that it looked like all of the ladies that came unclothed to their friend's wedding and snapped a photo! 

Touchy Feely

To do this at his own wedding... sheesh! Some people just have no public decency. This girl saw the whole thing, so maybe she managed to get out of the ordeal in time. Beat him to the punch and dump him, girlfriend!

Red or White?

There's always that singular bridal party member that has a little too much fun with the alcohol, but this guest took it to a much higher level. Hopefully, the bar had some seltzer on tap to help take care of that grisly wine stain. As for her hangover, best wishes!

Watch the Veil!

Father gave his daughter away to the love of her life and couldn't wait to sit down... So much so that he fell over his daughter's veil! The photographer snapped a pic of the situation, but the family thought it was hilarious enough to post on socials. Don't worry, she wasn't as upset as she seems in the photo!

Bare Wedding

This is the definition of an exposed wedding. It looks like it's one of those three-way weddings as well... Who would want to share their special day with four of their friends' special days? And who would want to walk down the aisle in likely melted body paint? This is all so strange...

This Is Mine!

God, there's nothing like a bottle of alcohol on the steps of your wedding. This bride has the right idea for a fun night. Try to take it away from her and expect a bitten hand!

Tiki Wedding 

This is the solution for when you want to get married at the drop of a hat, or a hula skirt! All you need to do bring is a few things from your summer set. Surfs up after this wedding!

Weird Cake

To be clear: this couple is obsessed with the franchise Star Wars. That cake is supposed to be the character named Jabba the Hut. From the back though, it looks like a giant dookie. Hopefully, the front looks a little bit nicer...

Slow Motion

What was that guy planning to do? There's a big splash coming this bride's way, it's not going to pretty for sure. Hopefully, she managed to run out of the way in time!

Very Weird

Some people are totally blind. Apparently, this guy couldn't keep his hands to himself even when it was his big day! At least do it during a time when you're not surrounded by cameras, man!

Wrong Underwear 

Everyone has a camera these days, so watch your back (and butt). A couple of spying groomsmen spotted a pair of these bridesmaids picking wedgies out of their shapewear! Beauty isn't simple...

An Actual Nudist Wedding

Clothes are simply material coverings for our earthly bodies, fellow humans. If you're going to wed, you might as well do it in your birthday suit! Bare your soul to your lover, and bare your behind to everyone else!

Remember Planking?

Planking used to be super funny to a lot of people. No one knows why looking back since it's kind of just people laying in the background of photos. Why was this a thing? Why was it a thing at a wedding?

Down On the Ground

You definitely have to squint to see it, but the Maid of Honor is actually fully asleep laying out on the floor at the bottom left of the picture. Weddings can get so overwhelming, sp did she just go a little too hard with the wine at the rehearsal dinner? We're not judging...

It's What He Wanted

Tragically, the groom insisted on wearing a suit of armor for his wedding. The bride wasn't interested in that. Getting married means making compromises, though, so the groom decided to only don the arms.

Under where?

The last thing this little kiddo wanted to spy was his aunt's wedding undies! To be honest, this is a wild photo to be taken anyway. It's not very flattering nor is it adorable, so that little man's reaction seems just about right. 

Majestic!

The guy in the back has perfect style! This guy managed to get some major air, he's also wearing a fantastic tiny swimsuit. That makes for an unforgettable wedding picture... Maybe not in a good way...

Face First!

Jumping photos are cute and fun, but there's always a risk of a messy group. Otherwise, you'll wind up with a bruised Maid of Honor sporting a bad eye. She was okay after this snapshot, though. Hopefully.

Graffiti Wedding

The spray paint is a nice touch for this bethrothed couple... At least you'll know the name of everyone who is attending! If you couldn't tell, the Best Man's shirt actually reads, "I'm the best." 

Not Weird!

Haha, what's going on here. Just because the garter belt tradition is dead and gone, doesn't mean that people don't still do it, unfortunately. This image perfectly captures why this idea has been removed from the norm...

Bride Fallen!

Ahh, the classic dip photo... until the dipping part. The groom just dipped a little too far in this case. If you're gonna go for this amazing photo classic, at least make sure you have it down... 

Hit Hard

A cake smash doesn't mean that you go ahead straight up punch your wife in the face... This groom clearly didn't see the memo. At least she still looks like a picture perfect bride!

Her Special Day!

I mean, have you ever thought about what you'd look like as a cake? Now you will. This bride had quite the idea when she was ordering this cake for her big day. What she says goes in this marriage! 

Obvious Outhouse

 A wedding guest ruined the bride's candid photo with her loving (and paying) dad by taking a quick piss in the back of the image. Men really just go to the bathroom wherever and whenever they want... The toilet was inside buddy!

Seeing Green

This is totally one of the most horrifying ceremonies out there. In the circus and live entertainment business, people do hang themselves from hooks like this, but for a wedding it is a bit odd. It's weird, but it's them! This couple probably met on the road performing their hook act... Of course, they had to bring their act to the wedding.

It's Elvis!

It's a very tired-looking Elvis, but it's the real deal. Just kidding! This is what happens when you get married in your Las Vegas hotel's chapel and request Elvis as your officiant. No harm here!

Garter Fail...

This is why the garter tradition has been canceled! This is only going to make everyone else in attendance very uncomfortable such as the woman in the far back... At least the bride looks pleased, it is her day anyway...

 Friends Until The End

When the bride has to pee, she has to pee as soon as possible. Wedding dresses are difficult to get into normally, so it makes sense that she would need an extra hand or two to use the toilet! After all, you don't want the gown getting peed upon.

Wave Goodbye

This could have been an amazing shot... The aftermath, though, definitely not worth the hassle. Then again, they hopefully knew what was in store when they were getting into a beach wedding!

Orange You Glad You Saw This

Some people truly have no taste for fashion... That is very obvious with this pair. This guy looks like he's about to go to prison, and she looks like a giant flower is overtaking her. And the crown? Girl, c'mon...

Cake Fail!

This is about to be a huge mess, though a very delicious one. Who needs dessert for a wedding, right? Not much else you can do except scape it off the floor... hopefully that's not what went down right after this pic was snapped...

A True Star

This llama is the true star of the show, sorry to the happy couple. He looks so handsome and dapper in this lighting, too! What a way to steal the snaps for himself, sneaky...

Let Me Go! 

This kid has got places to be and people to see, and neither of those is at this wedding... He just wants to go home, eat a squeezable tube of yogurt, and take a nap! Same kid, same. 

Floating Fiancé

This couple was trying to take an adorable jumping shot when the bride accidentally brought her legs up behind her butt... It made her look like a flying saucer of a dress! Even though this photo didn't come out the way they planned, they still decided to share it because it's so funny...

Pair of Pears

The photographer wanted to get a shot with the cool umbrella, for obvious reasons, but accidentally replaced the wedding gown with the pears on the dessert... She's either wearing a cake dress or this is the wildest angle of all time!

Ah, Wedding Day

These two need to get a room! You can't stop what comes naturally to these pups, even if it is during your emotional own wedding portraits. Maybe keep the pets out of your special day...

Get Me Out of This Thing!

That dog was not interested in walking down the aisle and he almost certainly hated this look he was sporting! In fact, he was so over everything that he decided to stop moving at all during the middle of the nuptials. Sorry, little guy!

Watch Your Foot

Everyone knew that wading in the water was a risky plan, to begin with... and the shoot would have been great until the very last second when this guy keeled over. There's always one person bound to fall in!

Stay Away From Mom!

The bride has an adorable little guard dog at her side, and he won't let anyone bring her down...except him! He was just making sure that she was in the best arms for her, that's all. It was at no offense to the man!

Fallen Down

There are a lot of reactions happening in this snapshot, and each one is better than the last. Some people look scared to fall in, while others look like they're about to burst out laughing because of it. I guess those are valid reactions to a dock flooding underneath your feet!

Too High!

The party got a little out of hand when they started throwing the groom up into the air... and he didn't come back down. Apparently, the ceiling was not as high as they thought. For how hyped these wedding guests were, they got a pretty good story out of it. 

There Goes the Cake...

The cake is always about to fall at any given moment! Though it turned out hilariously, this is definitely a messy situation these people have on their hands. Grab a spoon and get on your bellies everyone!

Time to Sleep

This must have been towards the end of the nuptials... The bride is chugging her coffee and the groom is completely passed out. Their wedding night is going to be totally dead...

Don't Do That...

C'mon man, of all the times to sneak a peek? He really couldn't keep his eyes to himself, even while taking wedding pics! And the poor bride probably never had a clue until the pictures were finally revealed...

Gotta Go...

Hey, at least he missed her dress. When you gotta go, you've got to go! What if he didn't miss and actually hit her train?! I don't think she'd be having such a jolly time...

Girl Group

There's a lot wrong with this photo, but the guns are the most obvious wrong. How does everyone have a shotgun? Did she purchase them as a bridesmaid gift? 

Chasing Pavements

And birds! These two had a funny idea to use one of their snapshots to chase around some pigeons. Hilarious? Yes. Cute? Not really...

Dancefloor Duo

This bride really got up in there, too. She wants off the dancefloor and into the wedding suite right about now. Okay girl...

Second Photographer

That man looks like he's the photographer, but he's actually just an eager parent! This is just a nosy family member who decided to get in the way of the actual paid professional. Let the real guy do his job, okay?

Nap Time

This dress does look pretty comfy kid, you're not wrong! This guy was sick of the good tidings and dancing. He just wanted to curl up for a nap!

Booked and Busy

This kid is too busy for the ladies. He has some business of his own to take care of with his index finger! You dodged a bullet girl, don't worry...

Where's Waldo?

Once you see it, it's so obvious. Waldo snuck onto this photo shoot as a gag for his friends. Once they see the revealed shot though, that's when things get really funny.
