0_61_070408_wedding

Ralph Archbold, who is a Benjamin Franklin impersonator, married Linda Wilde, who portrays Betsy Ross at different events. Mayor Michael Nutter officiated  the ceremony. Ben and Betsy exchanged rings engraved with a kite and key and the stars and stripes  The crowd reportedly gasped as Wilde, dressed in a 18th Century-era wedding dress, walked down the aisle of Independence Mall escorted by family members dressed in period garb. Not to be outdone, Archbold’s best man was a guy who plays Thomas Jefferson.

Computer Groom’s cake

June 26, 2009

This is a neat idea for a groom’s  cake, it looks like it took a lot of work to make! Maybe the bride and groom met on the internet. Mmmm……Edible keyboard.

Lavish Irish “Traveller” Wedding Between Teenage Cousins

June 19, 2009

Below are a few pictures from photographer Neelakshi Vidyalankara’s online portfolio of an Irish Gypsy Wedding between two 16 year-old third cousins. The rest of her photos in the gallery are fabulous, Ms. Vidyalankara is a very talented photojournalist!

From the intro:

“Mary Connors, one of five siblings, marries her third cousin Patrick Connors – both are 16 years old. There is an estimated 19,000 Irish Travellers in the UK, the majority of whom are devout Catholics. A highly marginalised and insular community, there is often much social antipathy towards them. Irish Traveller girls don’t work, most are illiterate and they remain teetotal virgins until they marry – which is usually very young. The more wealthy families have weddings that are often lavish ostentatious affairs of expensive cars and designer clothes (25-tier cakes, wedding dresses encrusted with Austrian Crystals costing thousands of pounds and huge diamante tiaras). The weddings are highly charged with exuberant emotion, free flowing alcohol and an innate love of life.”

Heidi Klum and Seal’s trashy wedding vow renewal ceremony

June 9, 2009

I think this is SO funny. The mullet on Seal, the cornrows on Heidi. Smoking fake cigarettes while pregnant, flamingo lights. Haha.  The couple, who have been married four years and are expecting their third child together, renewed their vows at a friend’s house in Malibu on May 10th, where all the guests had to dress up too!

Tacky Sydney Wedding! Whoa.

June 5, 2009

Big thanks to multiple  TW readers that emailed me with pictures of this wedding, which is apparently an Australian Greek Orthodox affair that is blowin’ up on the internet.   Are we sure this isn’t in New Jersey or Vegas? Wow. Ridic!!!

Pink hummer limo, really?! Ugh.

Super loud purple and red wedding dress getup

April 28, 2009

I’m not opposed to color for wedding dresses, but this is a perfect example of the need to edit!! Hat? Gloves? Fur stole? Purple AND  red? She looks like she’s going to a meeting with the red hat ladies, oh dear. As always, to each their own, she is happy and that’s all that matters, but this look is definitely not my taste!!

Viva Las Vegas Weddings! Awful Ozzy Wedding video!

March 30, 2009

This website, Viva Las Vegas Weddings, has a treasure trove of horrible themed weddings you can choose for your big day. This is video of one such wedding.

Many thanks to for Katie for submitting this video link. (Note you have to have Real Player installed to view it) I thought her write up was really funny so I’m posting it too!

” HOLY CRAP! I knew this sort of stuff went on in Las Vegas, I just had NO IDEA. This place, Viva Las Vegas Weddings does regular weddings but most importantly, they do themed weddings. They also do a video of the wedding and archive the weddings on their website. While clicking through hoping to find a funny one, I stumbled upon the  R. Strayer Wedding. Holy sh*t. The saddest Ozzy Osbourne impersonator marrying what might be the most awkward couple ever. Also note the woman’s lack of enthusiasm – I can already see the resentment in her eyes for making her participate in such a wedding.
Also note – at the end of the ceremony, “Ozzy” is supposed to sing a song to them but their CD player keeps skipping. MAGIC.”

Here’s my own little play by play of the wedding if you are unable to view the video:

Ceremony starts at around :50, and the “Ozzy”  appears at 1:32 and procedes to sing the ENTIRE song while the fog machine gets going. About 3:22 Ozzy begins his speech in his HORRIBLE English accent… they confirm their vows with a “hell yah” instead of I do…

5:30 begins ANOTHER song with them just standing  hugging while the impersonator shuffles his feet and sips his water in front of them.  7:30 Ozzy bumbles even more vows before the ring exchange. 9:00 begins my favorite quote of the ceremony : “Do you promise to love each other with in true rock-n-roll,  pour some sugar from time to time and always ride the crazy train of love and never treat each other like a couple of war-pigs, right. Ny  the powers vested in me,  by all of rock-n-roll, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Congratulations, we got a new married couple in Las Vegas!”

Start NEW awkward singalong song.  Ceremony pauses at around 12:20 for them to sign their marriage license, then at 14:25 they come back in and awkwardly stand around, then they have to come stand at the stage while they try to put a song on, then they give up  and pose for pictures.  Wow.

Groom attire FAIL! Italian Olympic Boxer Clemente Russo wins worst wedding attire in history!

March 30, 2009

Ooooof. This is SO bad. Italian athlete  Clemente Russo won a Silver Medal at the 2008 Olympics for Boxing, but he won’t be taking away any honors for this atrocious pimp-esque getup that he wore to his wedding to Laura Maddaloni.  Fur?? Top hat? Silk shirt? Gold CANE???!!!! Noooooooo!

Hansel?

BARF the wedding dress is terrible too!

Many thanks to Silvana for this!
