There are many advantages to having a backyard wedding, and The Keg Stand is just one of them. For instance, after the wedding party has completely tapped all the beer, they can just find a nice spot on the lawn to take a little nap. Also, you can wear whatever the hell you want to a backyard wedding, as exhibited by the people in this photo! Looks like a good time.

If this picture is any indication, this couple sure loves what they do for a living. According to the submitter they were “married in a cemetery, drove in a hearse, their wedding cake had little hearses on it, and they were married by another funeral director!”

Wow. I just wish I knew what ‘little hearses’ taste like. I feel like they would taste like a dusty old coffin.

The jumping craze has carried over to engagement photo shoots, and it’s not pretty. I mean, the groom looks completely hilarious, but this jumping thing has gone completely beyond our control. Beyond the photographer’s control, even. We are all just big, jumping apes around wedding photographers. It’s a sign of devolution, I’m certain of it!

I guess this bride is standing up very straight in an effort to help her poor *bridesmaid get a good angle on her dress, but all I want to do is shout, “YES! YOU ARE SKINNY ENOUGH!!!”

Also, nice random scarecrow, ladies. If you only had a brain, you would’ve steamed that dress hourssss ago. ZING!

*They don’t call ‘em a maid for nuthin’, amirite?!

This picture is like one giant collective “NOOOOOOO!!!!” Thankfully, it looks like those smaller lower tiers went unharmed in this classic disaster. The top tiers weren’t as lucky. Pour one out. Top-heavy cakes are never a good idea.

We’ve already seen photos from this amazing reality TV series in the UK, and now we have “My Big Fat Redneck Wedding” on American programming. Something for everyone! From the Herald-Tribune:

The groom wore camouflage.

The bride did, too, with little red shotgun shells poking out of her bouquet.

They married beneath an arch made of mufflers. Their first toast was from a beer funnel. They honeymooned at a Charlotte County mud-bogging camp called the Redneck Yacht Club.

Chris and Jennifer Rodriguez went all out for a reality TV show called “My Big Redneck Wedding,” which airs at 8:30 p.m. Friday on Country Music Television.

Ah, CMT. The network that brings you the best-of-the-best from them redneck parts. Apparently even the inside of the wedding cake was camouflage. That’s dedication.

I never understand why old news comes through the submit page, but this story from 2009 struck me as particularly post-worthy. Because really, I had no idea that frogs could get married. From the LA Times blog:

A severe rain shortage prompted villagers in the Indian state of West Bengal to fall back on an old tradition — the frog wedding. The villagers pooled their money to pay for the wedding of two frogs named Ram and Sita, named for the two primary characters in the Sanskrit epic the Ramayana.

From Reuters:

Following an ancient Hindu belief, the frogs’ heads were smeared with vermilion paint and the pair were held up in the air in a ritual in front of a traditional clay candle.

“We feted about 3,000 villagers and solemnized the marriage with every single ritual,” Shobin Ray, head of a local council in Madhya Baragari village, about 750 km [470 miles] north of state capital Kolkata, told Reuters by phone.

As part of the ceremony, the nearby river was invited to join the celebration and asked for its blessing of the marriage, according to local custom.

I think this should probably come with a “Don’t try this at home” disclaimer. Those frogs look unenthused.
