That wedding I was talking about?
I went. Here is the fountain cake:
Re: That wedding I was talking about?
I think I missed your original post, but that cake is fancy...
Honestly, I felt bad for the bride. Her dress was too big, and the old lady pinning it on her stuck her and she bled on it. Her makeup was really caked on (to the point of my brother nudging me and saying "It's the Corpse Bride!". No one stayed for the reception. They had pretzels and chips in dollar store buckets. Once they cut the cake, everyone left. The wedding started at 5:15, I was one of the last people there (and I left at 7). The cake leaned a scary amount, and it was really bad. They didn't get a dance or a toast because no one was there. The hall had some really pretty windows, and the photographer put them in a corner behind this screen to take pics. She put up a black curtain (and yes, he's wearing black) so all of their pictures are in front of a black sheet with window shining through.
I did regift. I didn't even change the bag. I thought I'd have time to stop and get a card, but traffic was heavy so I just put it on the table. Turns out the 'Mystery Gift" that I brought was their favorite. I guess there is some good to come out of it.

Oh, the regifting...I think I remember your post now.
Yikes, that sounds like a pretty awful wedding. I've been to some inexpensive, low-key weddings, but those have tended to be the ones where I've seen people having the most fun. Seems like this wedding didn't even have that.
Holy crap. I didn't realize I could scroll over either! You don't have to be a good photographer to realize that picture is ridiculous!
That pic posing is kinda weird to me.
Was she an older bride, or was the makeup truly that bad?
She's 30. It didn't match her neck.
This was before the ceremony. They didn't want to see each other, so the photographer had them do this. The divider stayed up, and they took pictures behind it during the reception.
I did ask where they were going on their honeymoon, and she said "The outlet malls!" They're going to Gatlinburg. I thought it was funny how she put it.
It just makes me shake my head that if they would have spent $150 on some sandwich trays, she would have had her speeches and dances. I can't imagine not having my first dance because everyone left.

It really looks like this is a picture from a wedding from 1980. Now that I know why they are standing behind the divider it makes a little more sense why they aren't looking at each other, but it still doesn't make the pose any less amusing.
It's sad that they didn't get the full experience on their wedding day. That is too bad.
I too find it really sad that so many people left so quickly.
However,
that picture is full of Awkwardfamilyphotos.com win. It MUST be submitted.
And yeah, she definitely looks older than 30 in that photo. Her makeup must have been bad.
I would've guessed at least 40.
