Most people would probably say that the perfect wedding day just doesn't exist. The kids are crying, the maid of honor is belligerent before the reception, the groom keeps running to the bathroom—the day can turn into a mess at the drop of a hat! These couples' weddings were less than ideal and lucky for us, they had photographers there to capture the whole ordeal...
It's Going Down!
We're gonna need a bigger dock! This bridal party had no idea that the tiny dock wouldn't be able to hold their collective weight... Let's just hope they got all of the pictures done and out of the way before this went down.
They Weren't Ready
The groom really wanted a seamless run-and-jump photo but he left it up to the wrong people. The poor bridesmaids couldn't handle it, and he flopped to the floor! Someone better get this guy some ice...
Photographer Down!
Wedding photography is tough. You're on your feet all day, running around between bridal parties and you only have a little break for a snack. This poor photographer was a bit exhausted when he was getting the bridal party ready for their group photos after the ceremony...
When the Mother-In-Law Can't Let Go
We all know this infamous photo. The mother of the groom couldn't let the spotlight be on the bride, so she decided to wear her wedding dress to her son's wedding. Talk about a monster-in-law!
Kiddie Cam
Weddings are fun for adults and terrible for kids. Obviously, none of these children were stoked on being in the photo or even being there at all. We've got a total of two smiles out of nine, and let's be honest, that's a pretty good ratio given the circumstances.
Not-So-Glam
What was the purpose of this photo? The only thing that would make sense is that they own the port-o-potty company, but even then... Why pose with it? That makes for a gross picture!
She’s Flagged
There's always one bridesmaid that overdoes it on the alcohol, but this bridesmaid took it to a whole new level. Hope the bar had some seltzer on hand to take care of that wine stain, as for her hangover, well... she's on her own there.
Spot the Problem
It's a tradition that no one else should wear white to a wedding besides the bride... Apparently, there are many mothers of grooms who want to throw that tradition out the window. Even more so, they want to make a new tradition of wearing their own wedding dress to the wedding. Yikes!
Calm Before the Storm
This photo was taken .2 seconds before that groomsman completely ate it on the golf cart. Honestly, the end-goal is a bit fuzzy. Did he want to kick up dirt for the photo or just completely photobomb it? Who knows.
There He Goes...
Yeah, that looks about right. At least he kept all of his limbs after the crash! The couple, on the other hand, doesn't look very impressed...
They're Doing the Most
There are so many horror stories out there of couples getting drunk at their friend's wedding. Don’t let yourself become a part of that narrative. Unless, of course, you want these types of pictures around forever.
When You Didn't Wear the Right Underwear
Everyone has a camera these days. It only makes sense that one of the groomsmen caught two of the bridesmaids picking out their Spanx! Beauty isn't easy.
Fighting a Child
For one, that 10-year-old should probably sit down. Then again, the Maid of Honor probably shouldn't have fought said 10-year-old for a bouquet of flowers. At least she owned up to it.
Kids and Weddings Don't Mix
That little girl had had enough. No more posing, no more smiling! All kids want to do is eat, play, and sleep. So, she decided to do the latter until it was time to eat and play. Fight the power!
He Couldn't Hold It!
When you gotta go, you gotta go. This bridal pup had to take a quick bathroom break before resuming taking photos with his parents. Better out than in—nature calls!
Hello, Squirrel
This photographer was going for a very artsy shot when someone interrupted... He ended up getting a pretty hilarious photo! The poor bride seems horrified, but it was worth it.
I see Paris, I See France
The last thing this little boy wanted to see was his aunt's wedding bloomers! To be fair, this is a weird photo to be taken anyway. It's not very flattering nor is it cute, so that little guy's reaction seems up-to-par.
What's Happening Here?
It looks like this biker took the brides dress... How does that even happen? Were they getting married in the middle of a bicycle race? So many questions, so few answers.
Nap Time
This Tennessee couple chose to have their one-month-old daughter tied to the bride’s trail. The poor baby is being dragged down the aisle as her mom gets walked to the front. Weirdly enough, the family thought that this was normal enough to share on social media...
Nudist Wedding or Strapless Dresses?
Strapless dresses are elegant and beautiful... except when you're sitting in the pew. A wedding guest thought it was funny that it looked like all of the bridesmaids showed up unclothes to their best friends wedding and snapped a picture!
Watch the Veil!
Dad gave his daughter away to the love of her life and couldn't wait to sit back down... So much so that he tripped over his daughter's veil! The photographer accidentally snapped a picture of the ordeal, but the family thought it was funny enough to post to social media. Don't worry, she wasn't as mad as she seems in the photo!
Barely-There Wedding
This is the definition of a trashy wedding. It looks like it's a three-way wedding to boot... Who would want to share their special day with four other people? And who would want to walk down the aisle in body paint? This is all so confusing...
Get Your Own
That's the face of a bride who is happy that the wedding planning is over and done. She was not about to let her dad take her beloved champagne away from her! It's her day—she can drink if she wants to, pal.
Tiki Matrimony
This is the solution for when you want to get married last minute! All you need to bring is a few things from your garden. The jean short-shorts were a nice touch.
Not The Best Cake
To be clear: this couple loves Star Wars. That cake is supposed to be Jabba the Hut. from behind, it looks like a giant turd. Hopefully, the front translated a little better...
Oh, No You Didn't
What was that guy thinking? Let's hope that the woman next to the bride managed to take most of the splash... After all, the night's not over yet!
That's Pretty Weird
Some people are really stupid. Apparently, this guy couldn't keep his hands to himself even on his wedding day. He didn't even have the audacity to wait until after the ceremony!
An Actual Nudist Wedding
Clothes are simply material possessions. If you're going to wed your lover, do it naked! After all, you're baring your soul for everyone to profess your love, why not bare everything else?
When Planking Was a Thing
Something tells me that the groom who is wearing Sperries thought that having his buddy planking behind them would be funny. This photo is maybe from 2010, so we can't knock them too hard... But yeah, let's be glad that the planking trend is behind us.
When You See It
It's a little hard to see at first, but the Maid of Honor is actually passed out on the floor at the bottom of the photo. Weddings can get so emotional, or did she just go a little overboard 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.
Majestic!
The guy in the back has impeccable form! On top of the fact that he got some major air, he's also wearing a fantastic little speedo. That makes for a memorable wedding photo... Maybe not in a good way, though.
Watch the Face!
Jumping photos are cute and fun, but you have to make sure that everyone is coordinated. Otherwise, you'll end up with a Maid of Honor sporting a black eye. She was fine after this photo, though. Probably.
A Creative Wedding
The spray paint is a nice touch... At least you'll know who everyone is! If you couldn't tell, the Best Man's shirt literally says, "I'm the best."
That's Not Weird!
In recent years, taking the garter off of the bride isn't really popular anymore. That doesn't mean that people don't still do it, though. This photo perfectly encapsulates why people don't partake in this weird tradition
Bride Down!
Ahh, the classic dip photo... except... well, the groom just dipped a little too far. If you're gonna go for this classic photo opt, at least make sure you practice it first.
A Bit Too Hard
A cake smash doesn't mean that you go ahead and Hulk Smash the cake into your wife's face... This groom didn't get the memo. At least she still looks pretty!
It's Her Day!
It's the bride's day, and she means it. Everything is about her, even down to the cake! Some women take their weddings a bit too seriously... Although, the cake is really well made.
There's a Bathroom Inside
A wedding guest ruined the bride's candid photo with her father by taking a wiz in the background. Men really think that they can just go to the bathroom wherever... The toilet was only steps away!
Extreme(ly Weird) Wedding
This is definitely one of the more horrifying ceremonies out there. In the circus and live entertainment business, people do hang themselves from hooks that dig into their skin for fun. It's weird, but it's fun. This couple must have met on the road performing their hook act... Of course, they had to bring it to the wedding.
It's Elvis!
It's a very old-looking Elvis, but it's him! This is what happens when you get married in your Las Vegas hotel's chapel. Be careful who you hire...
Another Garter Fail...
This is why we are done with the garter tradition! This is only going to make everyone uncomfortable like the woman in the back... At least the bride looks happy, it is her day after all.
The Things Friends Will Do
When the bride has to go, she has to go. Wedding dresses are hard to get into alone, so it makes sense that she would need help to use the toilet! After all, you don't want the dress getting ruined.
Wave Gone Wrong
I'm sure the shot before this was totally magical and cool... The aftermath, though, not so fun. Then again, they probably knew what they were getting into with a beach wedding!
Everything Is Wrong Here
Some people truly have no sense of style... That is very apparent with these two. He looks like he's about to go hunting, and she looks like a giant flower swallowed her. And the crown? Girl, no.
No Cake For You!
In the moment, it kind of looks like everyone is about to laugh it off. Who needs cake, right? Not much else you can do except eat it off the floor... I hope that's not what happened right after this shot.
The True Star
Having the llama be the focal point of the picture was a fantastic style choice. He looks so handsome, too! What a way to steal the show.
Let Me Leave!
This little kid is not interested in his parents' wedding anymore... He just wants to go home, eat a snack, and take a nap! Weddings are boring.
She Floats!
This couple was trying to take a cute jumping picture when the bride accidentally brought her legs up a bit too far... It made her look like a flying saucer of sorts! Even though this photo didn't come out the way they wanted, they still decided to share it.
An Interesting Angle
The photographer wanted to get a shot with the cool umbrella int he background but accidentally replaced the brides dress with the cake... She's either wearing a cake dress or completely nude in this photo!
Get a Room
Dogs will be dogs! You can't stop what comes natural to them, even if it is during your own wedding portraits. Maybe pick a different area for pictures...
Get Me Out of This Suit!
That dog was not interested in walking down the aisle nor was he into the tuxedo that he was forced into! In fact, he was so over it that he decided to stop walking in the middle of the ceremony. No, thanks!
Watch Your Step
Everyone knew that wading in the water was a tricky idea... Everyone nailed the shoot until the very last second. There's always one person bound to fall in!
Stay Away From My Mom!
The bride has an adorable little guard dog at her side. He was just making sure that she was in safe hands, that's all. It was at no offense to the groom!
There Goes the Party
There are a lot of reactions happening in this photo. Some people look scared for their lives, while others look like they're about to burst out laughing. I guess those are fair reactions to a dock breaking underneath you!
Too Much! Too Much!
The party got a little out of hand when they started throwing the groom up into the air... The ceiling was not high enough for how hyped these wedding guests were! What a great shot of it!
There Goes the Cake
This is such a perfect image because it shows the obvious disaster of the cake while also capturing the reaction of the bride and groom before they even notice that the fake has fallen. It's poetic, honestly.
Time for Bed
This must have been towards the end of the night... The bride as her coffee in hand and the groom is completely passed out. He looks fine, though.
Maybe Don't Do That
This is a pretty sad photo, honestly. He really couldn't keep his eyes to himself! And the poor bride probably had no idea until the pictures were developed...
Gotta Go Potty
Hey, at least he missed her dress. Could you imagine if he decided to wee on her train?! I don't think she'd be laughing...
Don't Mess With The Girls
There's a lot wrong with this photo, but we'll start with the guns. How does everyone have a shotgun?
Chasing Birds
I mean, if this is what you want to do on your wedding day, so be it. Those pigeons won't care too much... Doves might have made for a better picture, but whatever.
Groping on the Dancefloor
This bride has had enough, she wants to take her husband home right now. She really got up in there, too.
Not the Photographer
That man looks like he's the photographer, but he's not! He's just a nosy family member who decided to get in the way of the photographer. Here's a good rule of thumb: let the photographers do their job and you stay in your seat!
Nap Time
This kid was not interested in his mom getting married... He just wanted to take a nap, and he wanted to take a nap with her. Her dress looked comfy enough...
I'm Busy
This kid is too busy for the ladies. He has some gold to dig! He looks pretty taken aback, too.
Where's Waldo?
Waldo photobombed their wedding shoot. Was this intentional, or was is he really out there? Watching... waiting...
