Due to the overwhelming popularity of my Top 20 worst wedding photos, people have been inundating me with requests to create another list. I mean, there certainly had to be more insane wedding photos out there, right? Well, believe it or not, there actually was! Enjoy!
The 20 Worser Wedding Photos
#20 – In a Ceremony Far Far Away Star Wars weddings aren’t new, but I think the bride’s face says it all. “I looked past the kids and that our officiant is Princess Leia with an S&M leash. This too shall pass. In with the good air, out with the bad air. Breathe slow. Stay calm.”
#19 – Busted Again.
Ok. No idea what grandpa is doing in the bushes, but I’m sure it’s something creepy. Great shot there Mr. Kodak.
#18 – Pillage in the Village “We have a great deal on our Vietnamese burned out village package. Screaming and wailing will cost extra though.” I know, I know. That’s awful. But it’s why you love me.
#17 – Spiked Punch No one found out the punch was spiked until it was way too late.
#16 – Collectively Ticked This was not a wedding that came with the parents blessing. “But I LOVE him Momma!” followed by the thought, “Maybe Momma is right.” followed by her parents thinking, “She has to learn from her mistakes. Let her go, Mabel.”
#15 – Unhappy Parents 2 Speaking of unhappy parents. Here are the thoughts here: Dad: “I know he doesn’t think I’m paying for jack sh*#.” Mom: “You think your father’s kidding. We’re not paying for jack. You just wait. I will kick your skull if you even ask me for a cupcake, you slack loser.”
14 – Yeah, yeah The wedding was aw-yite. But the reception was the bizz-omb. Don’t you let them tell you that your dress wasn’t the shiznat. You were sparkly and the tiara set it off honey. And your hair is un-be-weave-able! The fourth time is the charm honey, his probation ends in January and he only has 4 kids. You got yourself a real man this time.
and for those saying that this is not the bride, here’s a ceremony shot;
#13 – Cheeky
Not sure what to even say about this photo. Does she not feel a draft? The guy to her right is whispering to his wife, “I promise I’m not looking, but you have to see this.”
#12 – John Deere-ly Beloved
A staged shot for sure, but for those wondering what Kathy Griffin’s wedding would look like, here’s a sampling.
#11 – Sew What? Ok. There’s the groom with a mini-sewing machine and a UPS truck testing the weight capacity of the back door with people’s packages. So does there need to be a punchline? I’ll leave it up to you. The best one I get will be posted here with credit.
Yes folks, it’s the top 10. The worst of the worst. Proceed.
#10 – I Do, Now Run!
“Yeah, yeah, I do, now please run or death will do us part!” or maybe it was, “You can’t make me stop marrying your daughter. Yeah? You and what army?” I got a million of ‘em for this staged shot.
# 9 – Long Train Running
She’s got that look that says “Oh no you didn’t!”.
#8 – I Do, Adidas Let me just say that the fact that she is even walking down the aisle with him is proof enough that he should stay by her side until his dying day. I can hear a million brides-to-be looking at this photo and saying in unison, “Oh Helllll no.”
#7 – Yeah, Not Funny
This guy is about to find out where “that line” is. He’s all giggles now until this film got developed.
#6 – Awaiting Reaction
He had no idea that how he handled this situation in front of his new bride would be the first and biggest test he’s ever taken. And as you can see, she’s thinking, “Is that your final answer?”
#5 – Sucker
It was at that moment that he realized that he was simply window dressing for one of her many “girls night out’s”.
#4 – I See Dead People I’m going to assume that she’s happy that there are many witnesses at this point.
#3 – No Means No “What did I tell you?! I said NO Chicken Dance and you did it anyway!” Note the law enforcement in this photo.
#2 – Eat More Chicken
I’m not sure if it’s more disturbing that this is happening in the background or that the photographer made sure he set the framing to capture it.
And here we are folks!
The winner of the worst wedding photo award.
#1 – Southern Limo
They couldn’t afford a limo, but they still arrived in style. The bride has got to be thrilled.
And there you have it. The 20 worst wedding photos I could find. All photos were obtained from Google Images and a lot of digging. Hopefully when you go to hire your wedding photographers or other wedding vendors, you’ll make sure that you do your homework. Do you have ones to share that I didn’t post here? Post them!
It has been confirmed that this past Saturday 50 year old actor Tom Arnold finally got hitched to long time girlfriend Ashley Groussman on the quaint little island of Maui. That’s Hawaii for the geographically challenged.
The ceremony was held in front of 75 close friends and family and Tom’s best man was actor Dax Shepard. This is Tom’s 4th marriage and one of which was to that crazy Rosanne Barr who has since furrowed somewhere to all of our collective relief. I mean really, thank God. Ashley really can’t blame him for waiting for so long to recover from that.
The couple met through a mutual friend and then at Tom’s birthday party, he proposed to her with a wedding ring that was designed by her sister. He said, “I knew that if I could get Ashley to fall in love with me, I’d never have to worry about anything else as long as I lived,” to which Ashley replied, “I’m the luckiest girl in the world.”
Besides the fact that Ashley Arnold has a much better ring to it.
According to the New York Post, ex-sitcom stars Fran Drescher from The Nanny and Jason Alexander from Seinfeld flew to Australia to attend a wedding for a couple they haven’t ever met.
Australian couple Geoffrey Edelsten and Brynne Gordon reason for inviting them? Because they had never met them and simply wanted to, so they invited them. Nothing was disclosed about how much they were paid to attend, but one would imagine that airfare, hotel, amenities and appearance fees were probably in the 6 digits easy. That was probably not an issue since the couple’s wedding cost $3 million for their wedding plans at the Crown Palladium ballroom in Melbourne.
Hey if you got it, flaunt it, I guess. But really? Would you pay tens of thousands of dollars to have Fran Drescher and Jason Alexander at your wedding?
When most people do their wedding planning, it normally doesn’t involve standing in line in the freezing cold at a retail store on Black Friday. But for Michigan couple Edward Burbo and his bride to be Jennifer, that’s exactly how they planned it.
Edward and Jennifer met two years ago online in November of 2007 and 2 days later, they were shopping for good deals together. The couple has a blended family of 4 children between the ages of 8 and 14 and Christmases have been tough at full price. So they, like most Americans, hit the streets early in the morning to get the best deals on Black Friday and this year it was at Best Buy where they camped out for a whopping two entire days to be first in line!
Then the idea struck them two weeks before that big day that they would be married in line at Best Buy. While they wanted to have a big wedding, they just couldn’t afford it. “We are saving money standing in line for Black Friday, and we’re not really spending much on the wedding,” Jennifer said. So she dressed in a winter white wedding dress and he in a tuxedo and the two exchanged vows on Black Friday 2009.
I’m envisioning the I Do’s followed by the trampling of innocent bystanders to get into the store, cursing, a few stiff elbows, and the crush of overcrowded mayhem. Let’s just hope the honeymoon was taken elsewhere.

True Blood star, Anna Pacquin, 27, is engaged to her True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer, 39, but they are not in any rush whatsoever to hit the aisle. Anna recently told press that, “We’re not planning the wedding yet. I’m not really that girl, we’re not really that couple. We’re happy and things are good and we’re not on any particular schedule and it’ll happen when we have time.”
Stephen apparently feels exactly the same as they enjoy their success and focusing on planning a wedding is just not on the radar right now. Good thing because Anna is also terrified of thinking about being in a poofy wedding dress and just isn’t that type of girl.
“It feels organic. It’s more about being family than becoming Bridezilla overnight and wearing some big meringue wedding dress. That would scare the s**t out of me. I wasn’t the girl who spent hours dreaming of my wedding.”
So while they enjoy spending good quality time together as an engaged couple, True Blood fans will simply have to wait if they want to see the love bleed over into the real world. No pun intended.
Say it ain’t so. One thing us married guys have had is the ability to live vicariously through Vince Vaughn. He’s a man’s man. A hot dog munching, beer drinking, football watchin’ man’s man. We’ve watched as he dated women that have haunted our psyche and smiled knowing that he was part of our secret team. Apparently, no more.
Vince Vaughn is planning on getting married to a Canadian real estate agent named Kyla Weber. He proposed on Valentines Day, so he kept it under wraps pretty well. Vaughn joked that she’s using him for a green card. But when did all of this happen? Wasn’t he just dating Jennifer not even a year ago?
But it does beg to question about what happened between him and Jennifer Aniston. Some say that they only hooked up to push the movie they were in together and that it was all a set up. But this one is obviously real, although in every interview, it moves to the topic of his new movie Couples Retreat and never continues to talk about the relationship between him and Kyla. Another setup?
Needless to say that we can’t seem to find any info on when the wedding is planned, or any details at all for that matter. She’s very pretty and unfettered by Hollywood (for now) and they like shopping. Oh well, at least we still have George Clooney whose acting chops are actually pretty brilliant (O Brother Where Art Thou), good looking guy, dates beautiful women that wouldn’t grant guys like us a second glance. So, ok, we’ll live through Clooney now. Oh yeah, there’s also Matthew McConaughey, but his acting is painful to watch. Big box office draw though. Nah, we’d rather have George as our wingman.
Condé Nast, a major magazine publisher has decided to permanently shut the doors of four of their magazines including Gourmet magazine, parenting magazine Cookie, and 2 bridal magazines Modern Bride and Elegant Bride. The unfortunate demise of printed media has sunk its talons into newspapers around the country and now taking many magazines into the abyss with them.
In an almost bizarre coincidence, weddingwebsite Get Married launches their premiere issue of their wedding magazine Get Married. With what some may see as a bold move to enter into a crumbling industry, Get Married took many tremendous strides to insure that the magazine vaulted onto the scene with sure footing.
They set up a solid foundation starting with naming Stephanie Davis Executive Editor of the new publication who has written for GQ, Self, Brides and the now foiled Gourmet magazine which had been on news stands since 1941.
Then to solidify the positioning, Get Married entered into the technology arena by being the first bridal publication to incorporate Microsoft tags into its magazine so that readers can take a photo of the tag and watch more in depth content on products and other items of interest right on their camera phones.
Regardless of how you view Get Married’s risky venture into the territory, the overall plan was very well executed and very timely in order to pick up the scattered brides left by Condé Nast’s unfortunate decision to shut its doors on 4 of its more prestigious titles.
Brides are even being offered a free issue of the new wedding magazine at http://www.getmarried.com/magazine to take it out for a trial run.
Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly from the TV series “The Office” are officially getting married during the fourth episode of the upcoming season of The Office and the hi-jinks of Dunder Mifflin. The final episode of last season found the couple getting engaged and also announcing Pam’s pregnancy. While NBC has been mum on the details of the wedding ceremony, visitors to Niagara Falls in New York were pleasantly surprised to find the couple shooting the scene and shared some information about what they saw.
The scene was shot on the Maid of The Mist 4 and both were decked out in full wedding attire. Pam (played by Jenna Fischer) was dressed in an empire waist bridal gown “with beaded trim and white boots” and Jim (played by John Krasinski) “donned a black tuxedo with a boutonniere with two white flowers.” according to Buffalo News.
The scene was filmed in two parts which will also take place over two episodes and that will begin airing October 8th. Scenes were shot in front of the Red Coach Inn, which was renamed the Statler Falls Hotel, under a sign that said “Prepare to Falls in Love”. Another on the Maid of the Mist boat where they had to start wearing a blue poncho to keep from getting wet because of the heavy mist from the Falls. Tuesday and Wednesday, the area was scouted out by staff 3 weeks earlier and they barely got misted at all. Not the case during a Thursday filming, where they pretty much got soaked to the skin. Luckily, Fischers make up was waterproof so that she could stay pretty on her Big Day. Most of the two part episode was shot in Los Angeles in a restaurant and chapel scene.
HD owners will probably notice a downgraded picture for these episodes because they couldn’t use the HD cameras in this environment and had to downgrade to a 16mm camera that uses a spinning device to keep the water off of the lens.
In real life, Krasinski is engaged to “The Devil Wears Prada” actress Emily Blunt who he’s been dating since November 2008. Fischer also got engaged during a trip to Europe to Lee Kirk who she’s been dating since January 2008.
Renee Zellweger, 40 and Bradley Cooper 34 have been spotted in several occasions (outside of the United States) spending quality time together in various locales including Barcelona, Spain recently. The couple who are appearing together in a horror movie called Case 39 have been doing everything to cover up their romance and keep it private, but reports from Glamorati indicate that Bradley took Renee up to his hometown in Pennsylvania to introduce her to his parents and that the engagement is very real.
Zellweger was also seen wearing an engagement ring, but managed to take it off when she appeared on Late Night with David Letterman on August 20th. As for picking out any wedding dresses, the couple still isn’t talking even though a source close to the couple indicates that it’s indeed true.
This will be Renee’s second marriage. She was married to country music star Kenny Chesney from May to December of 2005. He also had the “under one year” marriage to actress Jennifer Esposito from December of 2006 to April 2007 and was officially divorced as of November of 2007.
Weddings should be a big day, but people fall prey to some of these very popular wedding scams. Here are the ones that are the most popular scams and that are infuriating brides all over the world.
1.) Hear What I Say, Not What I Play
The wedding band switcheroo is unfortunately very common. A band will hire studio musicians to record a quick demo or get a demo from another band. You listen, you like them, you hire them. And then the next thing you know, the band that plays at your wedding reception sounds just awful and not what you bought into. Be sure where wedding bands are concerned that you get not only references, but if possible, an opportunity to see them play live at a local venue where you can go check them out for yourself and not just rely on studio magic.
2.) Bridal Registry Fiasco
It seems easy. Grab a price gun, zap what you want and walk away. The store documents what you scanned, tells your wedding guests and they buy it and as they buy it, it gets marked off the list as purchased. Seems easy enough. But in some cases, the store will quote the bride one price and then charge their guests and family something else. This is a very common trick that bridal registries and stores will scam your guests with because there typically isn’t anyone watching them or keeping track of what prices they quoted. Ask the store for a written policy, go to well known stores like Target or Outlet centers, or just ask for gift certificates and do it yourself.
3.) Something Used
Some bridal shops have decided that selling used dresses is a good idea. While some brides nowadays are actually looking for used wedding dresses to save money, these shops are selling used dresses at a new dress cost and claiming that they are new. While some dead giveaways are dirty trains, lipstick, hair, etc, the best way to avoid this scam is the same for most. Get it in writing as to who the designer is, the model of the dress, size of the dress and especially what alterations are guaranteed and included. When you pick up your dress, cross check it.
4.) Chauffeured Stretch Limo Lie
The scam is really surprisingly prevalent in the tons of various limo agencies that are out there. They use limo photos of vehicles that they don’t even own. You request a stretch limo and you get a Black Cadillac or worse that they don’t show. The fix? Make sure that the contract specifically says what you’re getting. If you want a 20 seat Hummer limo, make sure that it says “20 seat Hummer limo” and not just “large limo”. Make sure the contract also reflects the date the service is to be provided, the time frame you’ll be using the service, arrival time, address of both the church and the bride, the reception and anything else that you can think of. As for the vehicle switch, physically go and inspect the vehicle on a weekday around lunch time when the vehicle will actually be there and inspect it. Is it nasty and smelly? Does it have torn and stained seats? The most important thing is to verify that it’s even there at all. If there’s a specific one you want, that would also be a good time to snag that license plate number. As for the no-show limo, check their references and your local Better Business Bureau for any lodged complaints.
5.) Wedding Planner Flim Flam
This one is specifically for wedding vendors to watch out for. Here’s an example of how this works with someone like a wedding planner. A supposed bride will call from abroad (Europe, France, etc.) and call a legitimate wedding planner to set up their wedding in the states. She sends a cashiers check to pay for the services, but it’s for $3000 more than what was agreed on. The check clears the bank with no problem. The wedding planner is told to then transfer the $3000 to a wedding band or caterer that they want to use. No red flags yet because a wedding planner paying another vendor on behalf of the bride is common for the industry. The money gets forwarded to the band and then the bank realizes a couple of weeks later that the check is a fraud. Guess where the money gets taken back from? The wedding planners bank account. So if you’re a wedding planner or any wedding vendor that practices this, watch out for this one. Check out more details on this scam here.
6.) You’re Not Ansel Adams!
Wedding photography is unfortunately a huge industry plagued with scammers. You hire that big name photographer that you’ve always wanted to shoot your wedding and they send out someone else. Sometimes it’s even a nightmare to get the photos from them after multiple calls and emails, which is outrageous when you pay them up front. Again, it’s all about what you get in writing. Make sure the contract indicates items such as who is going to be shooting the wedding, how many photos you get, how many albums you get, if you retain the negatives, etc.. Don’t mess around with this because you can’t re-enact this moment of your life. Well, you can, but it probably won’t be the same.
7.) It Must Not Have Bloomed Yet
You hire a wedding florist to do the bouquet, centerpieces, etc. and the expensive imported flowers are replaced with not-so-expensive flowers and 12 flowers per centerpiece mysteriously becomes 10. The solution? Are you seeing a trend here lovely Bride? Get it in writing. What exactly you get from type of flowers, how many centerpieces, how many flowers are in that centerpiece, what exactly is included in the centerpiece down to the little plastic plastic fork placecard holder.
8.) Diamonds Are Us
The bride takes the diamond ring in to be cleaned and when she gets it back, it just doesn’t look the same. It has flaws or cracks in it and is obviously not the same diamond. When she goes back, what do you think she hears? Everything short of “you’re crazy” and “you’re mistaken, but that IS your diamond. “ How do you protect yourself? Believe it or not, the original jeweler can etch a serial number into the diamond girdle. You can then have the jeweler doing the cleaning write down the serial number onto the invoice. That way they have documented what they received and can’t switch it out. Alternately, you can also bring your diamond grading certificate so that you can match the flaws originally documented with what you’re getting back.
9.) Hide and Seek
Anyone paying for a wedding should understand that there could be some unforeseen expenses that happen. They always do. But don’t get bamboozled with ridiculous fees that you get blindsided by such as one report from a bride on Blogger Brides that documented being charged a whopping $35 per gallon for fruit punch! I’m sorry, excuse me?! You can avoid things like this by keeping what the venue supplies to a minimum and taking away those opportunities to be gorged. And be sure to watch out for cake cutting fees, cork fees, plate splitting fees and other nonsense fees that they figure out a way to rob you for. Make sure that it’s clear between you, the wedding planner, your family, and anyone that may ask the venue staff for anything to try and do it themselves first that is outside of what you’ve already discussed beforehand with the venue.
As you can see, there is a common thread in avoiding these scams and most all of them are “get it in writing”. Everything down the dirtiest detail needs to be documented and signed off on. This is your big wedding day. It’s not enough to just choose a wedding professional from a wedding vendor directory.
You must do your homework and make sure they’re licensed, don’t have any complaints against them in the BBB, and that you get everything that you’re asking for. It’s well known that the wedding industry is littered with overpriced expenses, scammers, and wedding vendors waiting to pray on your wallet like a vampire bat at a blood drive. But it’s your day, not theirs, so watch your purse strings and protect yourself at every corner.

Anna recently told press that, “We’re not planning the wedding yet. I’m not really that girl, we’re not really that couple. We’re happy and things are good and we’re not on any particular schedule and it’ll happen when we have time.”
