Weddings can be formulaic, so it’s always nice when the bride and groom decide to put their own personal touch on the celebrations.
However, it is possible to take individuality a little too far as this collection of bizarre wedding portraits from around the world prove.
Friends and relatives have been sharing pictures of the most weird and wacky weddings they’ve ever attended online, including the bridal party toting automatic weapons and a bride enacting a very rude pose with a watermelon between her legs.
Another entertained their guests with a stripper – who arrived in a giant pig costume.
And some couple’s commemorated their big day by getting the photographer to Photshop their snaps – with very dubious results.
A taste of things to come? This photographer’s efforts with Photoshop may serve as a warning to the groom
