Awkward Family Photos: Best Wedding Moments

First Posted: 10/02/11 03:47 PM ET   Updated: 10/03/11 01:50 AM ET

Families can be awkward. Really awkward. But when those candid, terrible moments are captured on film, comedic genius happens.

The creators of AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com certainly know that--they've dedicated an entire blog to collecting uncomfortably funny family snaps. From awkward pregnancies to hilarious pets, this blog takes no prisoners.

Some of the best (read: most awkward) family photos are captured at weddings. We had the chance to scour the archives of AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com to bring you the most uncomfortable, the most bizarre, the most eyebrow-raising wedding photos we could find, which we have collected here, along with the original AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com captions. Click through the slideshow below to see our picks!

Replace "awkward" with the word "tacky". Yikes.

What happens to young women when planning their wedding and they pick out such outrageous gowns for their wedding party? Is it a hormonal thing that causes good taste to take a vacation?

Every bride to be should have a gay man friend who is fashion conscious to advise her, in a nice way, of what a disaster picking out a particular gown/fabric/color/material would be. Not to mention that her brides maids will never talk to her again.

My sister made the mistake of not listening to me. I'm gay, but I have no sense of fashion whatsoever (I've been told I dress like a Lesbian, or Neil Young, depending on your point of view). But I have eyes and when the dress lady came to my mom's house to do a fitting with her brides maids, I told sister they are all going to look like middle aged Mennonites in those gowns. I was right. In the photos, and in person they did look like middle aged Mennonite ladies. Not that there is anything wrong with middle aged Mennonite ladies. I know several and they are lovely people, but their dress sense is just a tad 19th century.

20 years later we look at those pics of the wedding and we laugh so hard, and my sister says "what was I thinking?". I never once said "I told you so".

It doesn't have to be a gay man friend. It can be any friend or family member with good taste. But don't expect a bride to listen if she has a "vision" of what her wedding should look like.

All was fine till I got to Inspiration. The colors and prints were so bright and bold I did a double take. I can only look at that for about 5 seconds.

Umm the sad part is in the 70 s I had a hair cut like that. Luckily I dont have enough hair to make that mistake again.

These are all really sad except for #6 which was unintentionally hilarious.
