Allow Me To Break It Down For You
While most first dances are quite the romantic affair, this bride took things to the next level and introduced her husband to a side of her that we don't think he knew about before this photograph.
It seems that this lady was part of a breakdancing crew who roamed the streets of Moscow competing in dance-off competitions before she decided to leave it all behind and settle down. We know this probably isn't the case and that she's just showing off, but it's fun to make up a backstory for photos like this one!
So, We're Adopting Then?
We don't know what inspired this photo, but we think we can try and dive into the psychology behind this image if you care to indulge with us.
From the way the picture is composed, we can tell that this man knows that the vulnerable parts of himself are now forever in the hands of his partner and that his willingness to open his sensitive areas up to potential danger shows how committed he is. Well, we're no experts, but we reckon it's better not to take a chance on hitting your husband in that specific zone.
Mission: Nostrovia!
We don't know if this picture sources inspiration from some Russian version of the fairytale Rapunzel or if this man was looking for an exciting way of expressing his commitment to his new wife.
Maybe these two are secret operatives who are on a mission and decided that their task's hazards required that they express their love for one another in any way they could. We can only speculate as to why this image came into being, but we're glad it did. It only helps us appreciate the tremendous effort that our comrades put into their imagery even more!
Run! And Don't Look Back
This couple thought of adding an edge to their beach photoshoot by bringing in this fearsome shark into the equation!
It does look like they are running for their lives with this marauding creature in tow, right? Let's overlook the fact that the groom is wearing jeans at the beach since it's his big day, anyway. Besides, for a person who knows a thing or two about sharks, you'd know they never come so close to the beach, but as we said, don't let anything limit your imagination in Russia! 7/10 for their effort.
Photobomb?
During a wedding shoot, people go all out. Bride and Groom prefer taking sophisticated and staged pictures, and for a good reason. The photos will forever be a part of their lives and will remind them of something special.
However, this Russian couple seems not to mind the disturbance. A very tipsy relative can cause all kinds of scenes, but in this one, the shenanigans of the woman seem amusing to people in the background. The newlyweds can be seen smiling merrily with the other guests. Perhaps this is the norm? Who knows?
A Change In Tradition
Releasing doves into the open sky is symbolic of peace and freedom. While people all over the world take part in this tradition, Russians had to come up with their own spin on it! Before we get into that, let’s take another difference into account – their clothes! The bride’s look seems to be heavily inspired by nature and has traded the traditional white gown for it.
Now, the couple seems to “releasing” chicken carcass into the air? Yep, it is even weirder when you try to describe it; we are not even going to take a gander at the “why” aspect of the whole affair!
Ways To Keep A Man
In the first stages of the marriage, there is no doubt that the husband sure gets pampered a lot. Obviously, this bride does not share the same sentiment. It is hard to decipher what is really going on here. Maybe this was a funny attempt at photoshop or an advertisement? You take a pick!
Giving credit where it is due, the girl looks absolutely gorgeous with the crown and fierce look in her eyes. She sure has nailed the whole photo as much as one can while stuffing a baguette in someone’s mouth.
You Have Three Wishes
This photo takes the saying – you make my dreams come true to a whole another level! Newlyweds are known to whisper sweet nothings in each other ears, but this couple decided to go a step ahead and actually portray it!
From what we can guess, the groom is her genie, who is there to grant her every wish, and she is the summoner. Our only qualm is, we are pretty sure the genie is not supposed to appear from a champagne bottle! Well, jokes apart, the idea sure is unique!
A Centaur Wedding
You know what they say – marry someone who is your better half! These “centaurs” have seemed to found each other and have now gotten married! This picture takes the cake for coming up with ideas for wedding poses that are out of the box! Even the photoshop is immaculate with the hooves disappearing in the water, and the whole backdrop is blending right in.
The Russian couple may have thought that embracing their “spirit animals” would be a cool idea. On a separate note, they look happy, and if they are, who are we to judge?
Can't We Add The Carpet In Photoshop?
It seems as though it is traditional for the couple getting married to take a photo in front of some form of rug, and as we can see, a backdrop for hanging it down from was not available, so another plan had to be made!
Luckily the bridesmaids and groomsmen literally stepped up to the plate and helped this couple to keep the carpet picture tradition going! Who wants to sit and edit in the background when you have friends that can assist you in getting the perfect shot straight out of the gate?
Locket In My Pocket
It appears that when it comes to wedding pictures, Russians go all out. Take, for example, this magically edited picture of the groom who looks like he's going to keep a firm finger on his wife from the beginning of their marriage!
We do hope that this picture is photoshopped because it would be quite traumatizing to us if it turns that this is what Peter Pan and his fairy companion Wendy looked like today. We thought they were supposed to stay young forever! Can a lost boy even marry a fairy? Who knows!
An Attempt At Self-Humor
In life, it is important to learn how to laugh at yourself. It not only teaches you to lighten up but also shows that not everything is meant to be serious. We all can take a page out of this bride’s book to enjoy the little things.
Finding themselves standing by chance in front of a funny painting of an elephant, the couple had the amusing idea to recreate the pose. We’d say it turned out to be a picture of a lifetime because they look genuinely happy and in love! Candid photos for the win!
Bridal Kombat
Usually, newlyweds are so into each other that you would rarely see them fighting. It is not until years later when an occasional disagreement may occur. Even then, we do not support violence! This couple seems to be at odds, quite early on in their relationship, and has resulted in a new type of invention called – Bridal Kombat!
The woman looks quite adept at it as the husband seems to be flying away, just at the mere kick! Well, all comical speculation aside, we know it is just a pose and a funny one at that!
Cupid's Assistant
Whether you believe in the idea of Cupid and his love arrows or not, the whole fantasy itself is quite fascinating and amusing. When you're in love, you tend to do things that are beyond reasoning. Just like the woman photographed here! While brides are cautious about not staining their lovely wedding dresses, this one does not seem to share the same concern.
With a small crown on her head and an arrow in her mouth, she looks to be gazing away at someone, possibly the groom. The young lady looks like Cupid's assistant to us - probably her first day on the job from the looks of it.
Photoshopped Love
Partners should always shower their better half with all the love and care in the world. It is what every human deserves! Can you tell we are sappy lovebirds at heart? This Russian couple took it upon themselves to SHOW everyone how they believe in the ideology too!
The hearts that are raining upon the bride from the hands of the groom look photoshopped. If you ask us, we think flower petals would have looked more lovely and natural. We hope that the couple was happy with the end result!
Queen Of The Sea
Humankind has for years tried to master the art of walking on water! Little did we know that this bride had it all figured out - with the help of photoshop! Seeing the photos in this list, we are sure you are asking the question – where do they get these ideas from, really? Well, we are also confused.
We want to know what kind of engine has she got under that dress that enables her to move that fast and on water. Perhaps she is running to attend her own wedding and is rushing to the altar!
That’s A Sign
You ever have an announcement that you want to put up on a billboard for the world to see. It looks like for this couple it was their wedding! The photo also seems excellent, and we are in love with the bride’s gown. While a typical sign has some information to give, this one is probably to gloat that they have found someone and are now happily married.
We hope that the newlyweds are now ecstatic with their life as a married couple after celebrating their ceremony in such a grand way.
Fancy Ride
We hope no animals came to harm in the making of this picture! The Russian couple seems to be sharing one of the first kisses of their married life atop a swan. It seems to be taking them to their happy ever after, or maybe it is a fancy ride to their honeymoon destination.
Either way, the whole setup looks very real! It takes a second to realize that swans are supposed to be that big! We hope that the pair did not fall in the water when the swan moved.
My Superhero
Everyone wants their husband to be a figure who is strong and supportive, whether it is mentally or physically. That’s the ideal image that girls have in their minds ever since they begin to comprehend the idea of marriage. This bride was probably on the same wavelength and took it a step ahead to prove just how powerful her man is!
He does not seem to be even breaking out in a sweat in lifting such a heavy vehicle with his woman sitting inside it! Someone call Marvel; we have found another superhero!
Tipsy Lenses
Russians and vodka have a special connection. They are famous for it, and there is no denying that some of the best alcohol in the world comes from that far-off land. But what happens when the photographer on the job seems to have gotten a little tipsy and overindulged? This picture is an appropriate example of the consequence!
It could also function perfectly well as a ‘point of view’ photo of what happens when you take a few too many shots! The world spins, and you just cannot seem to focus on anything.
Center Of Attention
There are numerous reports on the Internet detailing incidents where the bride has been upstaged by a guest. This woman did not want to leave anything to chance and made sure to click a photo that ensured that people knew who the center of attention should be. What’s more, she even approved the glitter effect to shine like a star!
Well, we can say with certainty that it had the desired effect! The beautiful bride is unmissable, and everyone around her seems happy to comply too! Today is certainly your day, young lady!
How About This For A Pose?
Well, in Russia, anything goes. This wedding pose might not be accidental; the bride probably wants everyone to know she's still got it even after walking down the aisle!
It's her big day anyway, and she's allowed to have a good time in whatever way possible. The groom is not so amused by the risque pose, though, and the look on his face shows how soon he wants this photo session to end. As for the best man and woman, it's always a good time. It's just another ordinary wedding in Russia!
What's A Wedding Without Special Effects?
A wedding would be quite dull without the edge of a surprise, but Russians take it to a whole different level. The picture above explains it all too clearly, and we have to admit, this is one of the most colorful wedding photos on this list.
The groom is pictured as the knight in shining armor, out to rescue the damsel in distress, who is probably his wife. Can you see the fiery dragon in the picture looking all menacing? The newlywed is about to slay it. Well, at least as far as special effects go!
Someone Help Us Out Here!
We have no idea what is happening here, and the small caricatures are quite confusing, to say the least. While it's a celebration of love between the bride and groom, the photoshop edits don't simplify matters any further.
If you happen to know the couple or have the background of this picture, we'd love to have a word with you. Firstly, what is the couple doing in the ice bucket? Is that a cake the groom is holding, or is it just a visual illusion? We've got so many questions for these two!
Remember The Dreamworks Logo?
If you do, he is all grown up and married now! Just kidding, but that was the inspiration behind this photo op of two newlyweds literally over the moon.
We think this photo is among the best on this list as far as celebrating love goes. There is just something about the moon that awakens one's romance. We've been seeing the Dreamworks intro for the longest time now, so let's hope their love lasts as long. It'd be a big disappointment if this is not a happily ever after story. What do you think?
It's Only In Russia
What do you do when your dad is this tiny, yet he has to walk you down the aisle? Simply put him on a jetpack, and you're good to go! It sounds like the most whimsical of ideas, but you shouldn't let reality limit you when in Russia!
This lovely bride has seemingly overcome the physical barriers, and she's hand in hand with her father, making one amusing photo. She also appears to be tagging on her father's coat, wary of him getting carried away by the jetpack. Let your imagination wander, ladies and gentlemen!
Hop Onto The Fun Bandwagon!
You are supposed to have as much fun as you can on your wedding day, and this is just exactly what's happening here. Everyone seems to be in the party mood! If you're keen enough, you'll notice the bride has a pair of extra legs like a centaur, but that's probably her best lady engaging in the antics.
This bridal party looks every bit as fun, and with such a crew, you might just want to get married all over again, simply for fun's sake! We bet the wedding anniversaries are pretty lit with this group!
A Celebration Of Love, On The Streets
As newlyweds, the romance is pretty much intense on the initial days, before the wedding hangover hits. For this couple, their love is still fresh, and public displays of affection are the order of the day.
This man is a witness to true love shenanigans, and by the look of things, he went to look for his soul mate right after this. It can get cold and lonely sometimes, especially when love is in the air in your very presence. Credit to the photographer, too, for freezing such a lovely moment between two lovers.
A Cannonball Full Of Love
Has cupid started using canons by chance? Because the man in the picture looks like he was hit by a dose of love and affection. His newlywed seemingly pulled the trigger, and we don't think he'd have much to complain about under the circumstances.
This has got to be a top contender for a celebration of love among the pictures in this list. It should inspire your post-wedding photo shoot if you're short of ideas. We'd even suggest more action at the muzzle of the canon, like a giant fireball of love. What do you think?
Tag-Along For The Trip Of A Lifetime!
When a magic carpet is not that much of a feasible idea, you improvise - anything to show your princess the world! This couple turned to helium-filled balloons, and apparently, it worked out perfectly, going by the epic views they are enjoying.
Safety does not seem to be at the top of their mind, typical of people who are madly in love. However, we would not advise this, since the balloons have no controls and the wind can easily take you to places you wouldn't like. Did they land safely? How did they maneuver their novel craft?
Stunning Cook In A Wedding Dress
Dripping in an extra-ordinary wedding gown, this bride poses for the camera with that cunning look in front of a set of meals displayed on the table. An accurate description of beauty with delicacy, you would say, yet it looks like she didn't only win the love of her life just with that beauty, but also her cooking skills.
The fierceness in her eyes makes us think she'll be bringing some fire to the inner room. Nonetheless, we're confident this young lady will make a perfect wife and tantalize her man's taste buds with wonderful culinary creations as long as he remains in her life.
Best Toast Ever
Wedding pictures are arguably the highlight of every wedding, along with the toast, and if you have both right, you've got the wedding right. This couple decided to do an all-in-one wedding picture by combining both the wedding photo and the toast in one go.
Their unconventional thinking got them on this list with their weird and funny but perfect wedding picture. The lovebirds show a love that will sustain their marriage from inside their champagne glasses, staring affectionately into each other's eyes, thanks to Photoshop that put them in there!
Mermaid Brides Are The Real Deal
Some girls want to be princesses on horses and chariots for their wedding day, but this bride wanted to be a mermaid on hers. On the other hand, the husband couldn't say much on the matter with that look on his face; what could he do? He's riding life with her forever and probably figured he'd better enjoyed it!
The photographer also decided to add a romantic touch to the photo using the newlywed's bouquet in the foreground. Lovely picture, but we hope they do not get swept away by the currents on account of the bride's brilliant idea!
Groom-Style Necklace
Yes, wedding vows are serious business, and after professing them to your heartthrob before hundreds of guests, you better keep to them. This groom proved how seriously he took his vows with this photo of him clinging to his wife in a unique pose.
As they have sworn to be together through thick and thin, having the groom hang as his bride's pendant in this wedding picture must not have been what you expect to see in a wedding photo album. At least their future kids will have an explanation as to why their parents cling to each other the way they do.
Where's The Groom?
If you're asking whether it's an ad for a bridal agency or the wedding photo of a couple, then look no further, but look clearer, as the groom is indeed chilling in the background. What better way to display the love you have for your new wife than to make the whole thing about her and put the spotlight on her lovely face in your wedding photo?
The couple must have either been taken aback by the unusual style. Still, since the photo made it to the internet, this Russian wedding picture must have been approved by both bride and groom.
To Write Home About
Not all brides have bouquets, and not all husbands run away with their wife's flowers at their reception, but this couple seemed to think it is the way to go in their ultra-modern wedding. Other brides and grooms-to-be would need to take a cue from this one; it's probably going to be the in thing soon!
We bet they'll be cracked up when they look back at the photo in a couple of years and remember what led to this pose. It may not be the photographer's best work, but the lovebirds will have to make do with this photo to write home about.
Titan Couple
The wonders of photo editing can make things seem more appealing than they look, just like this duo seem with the supposed strength of titans. These newlyweds appear here, throwing off a giant stone ball from one to the other, and the editor could not be happier with the results.
Yet, as tough as they look in this wedding picture, the real question would be, is their love is strong enough to see them through in their newly married lives? It's not what's on the outside that counts, and we hope what's on the inside is strong enough to keep them as happy as they appear in this image.
Wedding Crashers From Madagascar
What for the love of cartoons inspired this wedding picture? Madagascar's penguins making an appearance for this groom on his big day must be the reason for the huge smile on his face. But we can't help but ask where the rest of the Groomsmen are.
It helps, though, that the penguins are in the right uniform to step in for the groom's missing friends, and we bet he's forever grateful for their appearance. We also wonder what his wife thinks of the picture, making it to the wedding album. Maybe she's a cartoon lover as well!
Photoshop Gone Wrong
It's all dreamy and exciting to have a wedding in winter, but when you're this pair of newlyweds, it's probably going to be a bummer. Not to worry, Photoshop came to the rescue to make sure that at least the memory of their wedding is officially in a location they would appreciate forever.
The person who edited them into this giant wave must be a newbie, though, as his skills are evidently amateur in achieving realism. He may have fooled the happy couple, but we doubt he convinced the rest of the world on this one!
Holding Onto Love
While finding love may not be the easiest thing in the world, some people have it much harder than others, and this guy must have been something special to have an angel fly his way after what seems to be a while of searching for love.
The man would not wait for a chance like that to come again, so he took the opportunity he had to hold on to his angel for dear life. Luckily, the angel became his bride, and we think they'd stick to their vows forever because this groom is doing an excellent job keeping some promises!
