Photos
In general, wedding videos, and just wedding memorabilia in general, is kind of the worst. And I say that as someone who loves a good wedding (no homo). I’ve got no problem with the institution or with the open bars at the celebrations for the institution. Let’s all get married and have a party! But then let’s shut up about it afterwards. Like, at this one office I used to work at, everyone had framed photos from their wedding on their desks. What was up with THAT? It’s annoying enough to have a photo on your desk of your significant other because RELAX, some of us are just trying to come over and drop off some files, not validate your attempts to aggressively publicize your entry into an adult world ostensibly free (but clearly not that free) from the deep-seated insecurities about your social value created in Junior High and largely unshakable to this day even with a framed photo of someone who has chosen to KISS you on your desk. But a photo from the actual wedding? Don’t make me laugh barf. (In retaliation, I put a frame on my desk that I bought at the goodwill, which still had torn, dirty plastic wrapping on it, and the photo that came with the frame of a young blonde woman from the mid-80s wearing some kind of denim-ish parachute blouse and told everyone it was my girlfriend, Skylar, and I’m sure this tiny act of insolence let them all know how much funnier and cooler I was than they were and I bet at night they went home and told their spouses how impressed they were with my sarcastic prop-based digs at the one thing in life that made them feel safe*. High five, me.)
All of that being said, if this couple would like to frame their wedding video and put it on their desk at work, they should. Because it’s awesome.
Right? Speaking of wedding videos, does anyone have Freida Pinto’s fax? I just need to fax her a question about something real quick. Thanks. (Via BuzzFeed.)
*I like to think the first step towards not being the worst is at least recognizing that you’re kind of the worst.

I think this is the first time the woman kissed the man back to life, nice job feminism
Beauty and the Beast did it.
Yeah, but in Beauty and the Beast Belle didn’t kill the Beast by shooting energy balls at him only to THEN kiss him back to life.
It’s all fun and romance till the Birdemic birds show up at 3:19.
This was the original treatment for Bride Wars. Hollywood ruined it AS USUAL.
That awesome kiss CGI reminds me of something…
“I-DO-KEN!” — That Bride, saying yes to her new husband Ken.
Haha, fozzy. Ain’t no party like a Street Fighter party.
It’s pretty much what you would expect.
Are those the bridesmaids?
THE-PIPES-ARE-BROKEN!
WHY DOESN’T THIS HAVE MORE UPVOTES. Fozzy, you’re the best chair in the world.
No plagarismo
I love you. (No Mario)
I hope it gets a million more upvotes, because that was the pinnacle of my creative life. It’s all broken glass and sour milk from here on out.
Then they go to their “Just Married” car and have to break it down to scrap in less than 30 seconds using only their fists and feet.
This is the best version of Call of Duty I’ve ever seen.
Much better than the wedding video I witnessed being made this past weekend… I had to go to flippin Altoona, PA with my girlfriend to attend her friends wedding with hundreds of people I’ve never met. As the wedding party entered the reception each pair of groomsmen and bridesmaids performed a rehearsed little comedy/ dance number for the camera, including a mock square-dance, a mother fucking fake punch-out (?), and a robot dance-off. The crowd ate it up and I barfed in my mouth.
The thing about mock square-dancing is that in order to mock square-dance, one must actually square-dance. (There’s a life lesson in there somewhere.)
The magic is ruined at the end of the video, where you can obviously see a family packing up their van after camping. It was doing so well in the magic department before then.
How do you know it wasn’t a magic family packing up their magic van after magic camping?
Gabe, you sure you not mad, buddy?
So just to be clear it is perfectly okay for Gabe to say no homo but when I say it I’m a terrible person? Okay got it, glad we straightened that out (ahhhh? STRAIGHTened??? ahhhhhhh
I upvoted.
No Winwo.
I definitely hope “No Winwo” catches on (no Winwo).
Don’t be sad, I love you (no Winwo)!
No end parentho.
How to improve this: all of those doves (I guess they’re doves) at the end? Make them all mini-pegasi. Or however you want to pluralize pegasus.
“de wideo come free with pour-chase ovv bride.”
- guy selling videos, russian women
Why do they have to kiss so agressively every time? Your moms are going to see this!
they needed the video to match with the smackykiss.wav file they found
You definitely do not want to watch the honeymoon video.
In defense of pictures from your wedding on your desk, let me just say that pictures of the person you love are a nice reminder of why you continue to work at a soul crushing tedious job and a way to remember “hey some things in my life are actually very nice” while staring into the abyss of, say, a 1,000,000 page document review related to health insurance litigation. Not that I’m speaking from very specific experience or anything.
Remember the Simpsons where we see that Homer has covered up the sign at work that says “DON’T FORGET- YOU’RE HERE FOREVER” with pictures of Maggie so it says “DO IT FOR HER”? That makes me weepy just thinking about it (no parento).
I actually feel like a bad wife, b/c I have no pictures of my husband in my office. Instead, I have chosen to have a cork board filled with concert posters and pictures of Ryan Gosling & Jon Hamm. I have my priorities in order, you guys!
Don’t feel bad, thisismynightmare, I have one picture of my husband and six pictures of my dogs. Actually, my cork board is completely cool. I have no regrets. (Sorry, husband.)
Wait, now I am a bad pup mom b/c I don’t have any pictures of my doxies in my office either. I will work on that tonight…
I’m understand completely, that’s why i have a pic of Mans in my pc.
However, this is a perfect example of people wanting weddings to last forever, yet making them tacky and outdated. It’s like: “if you really love me you’ll put up with this ridiculous display of cheesum.” oh and “keep the liquor away from your opinionated friend/family member, he is telling everyone how much he loves them again” “tell him to stop talking about Sad Keannu” etc.I’m understand completely? I’m clearly don’t understand-grammar at least. Sorry if the pic is too big.
Too much Red Bull maybe?
Chris, clearly you’ve been downloading to many images from http://www.dreamyinternetcommenters.biz again.
I didn’t even want to have a wedding, but my parents eloped which means my mother was entitled to demand that I have a wedding, or something, and she pleaded with me. So I caved in and had one even though I’m not big on weddings either and it was really nice, actually, and I like to look at pictures of it because it was one of the happiest days of my life. Sorry, folks. It’s not about reassuring anyone that I have worth, because let’s face it, stupid, ugly, jerkoff people get married every day. I just like to look at my husband’s face because it makes me happy. Also my kids’! (The happiest day of my life was when my second child was born, because it just seemed like I had been given everything I’d ever wanted in life: a great husband, a son, and then a daughter. )
Hooray! Your comment is the best comment.
The chick definitely won the game of Forest Pong.
Can anyone Michael Bay-ify this for me?
he can:
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS REAL I NEED TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!
Not that I am for killing kids, this just seems absolutely absurd. And I love me some absurdity.
This is my favorite thing ever now.
I think I might be in a bad mood? Because this shouldn’t amuse me as much as it does.
Okay, I just looked it up and the kids getting shot are from Postal: the Movie and the Steven Segal footage is from Stevel Segal: the Movie.
Oops, I was thinking about my friend Stevel.
oh brother. that made me laugh a lot.
Yeah what is this? Is that Steven Seagal?
First this made me cringe, but then it made me laugh cause of the kids different reactions to being shot. ACTING!
I Michael Bay-ed my wedding photo yesterday:
Needs more Shia.
I don’t know, it could’ve been sparklier. Also, WHY DOESN’T ANYONE LOVE ME LIKE THAT?
My Life is Twilight
Seriously. This must be what true love is all about–going along with your partner’s idea to make a wacky wedding video. I’m still trying to figure out how much of it was trying to be funny.
Um, none of it. I think none of it.
I am in the process of planning my wedding. Or, should I say I was in the process, cause I just gave up – I will never be able to top this, or even approach it.
two words: taco truck.
three words: taco truck grande
One word reaction: BUENO
Barbeque? Is that okay? I can change to a taco truck, if that is what you prefer.
compromise! Korean barbecue taco truck!
barbeque is a solid move but i meant the taco truck as an supplement to your existing plans rather than instead of. we had one and it was about the best move ever. that puppy rolled in at like 10 pm and gave everybody a second, al pastor flavored, wind.
Where did they film this? Like, in Make-Out City or something? Like, save it for the honeymoon duders. Am I right? This guy knows what I’m talking about.
Sparkly volleyball is the most important part of a traditional Russian wedding.
I’m just glad real-life Tekken Ball is back. I don’t know why the bride didn’t double kick it at the guy for extra zonk.
How do you piss off wedding guests? Take forever making this video while they wait at the reception for the dinner to start. And it’s pay bar, too. Somebody’s gotta pay the director and his camera crew for this.
I signed up specifically to say that I’ve actually had the Russian champagne in that video and it tasted like hairspray and had chunks in it because it’s Russian and of course it did.
Particle effects? You got it!
How can you NOT frame a photo like this?
I want to upvote this but the thumbs are invisible. This oversized wicker basket is a little TOO oversized
You’re probably using IE8. Switching to compatibility view should fix the missing thumbs issue.
You are probably right and even though I am really insanely busy I’m going to spend the next 15 minutes figuring out how to implement your suggestion so that I can upvote this picture. Priorities!
It’s the thought that counts!
ohh thumbs up friends!
This couple seems to be desperately encouraging an upvote from us…
This kind of reminds me of the one Tarkovsky film I saw.
Boooooooooooooooooo. Yayyyyyyyyyy.
My reaction is complex because of my love for Tarkovsky, but also the funny.
This is basically the “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here” video only I’m not questioning how sincere the people actually are.
This music reminds me of one time when I was looking for some place – ANY PLACE – that had a free wifi connection in my neighborhood on the north side of Chicago, and I ended up at this Serbian bookstore that served coffee, and they were playing the Serbian version of MTV really loud on a huge screen, and it was really crappy music, but there was seriously no other place that had free wifi, and so I stayed.
what about baby photos, are baby photos ok?
Whoever did the sound effects for this should do all the sound effects. The kissing effect in particular was so life-like and just exactly how all kisses sound.
I watched this while listening to the new Belle & Sebastian record (stream it on NPR!), and that turned out to be the best accidental soundtrack ever.
So it’s good?
The bride rolled a seven-sided die before accepting the groom’s proposal.
