WARNING SOME IMAGES ARE A LITTLE RISQUE:

Definitely wedding photography at its best.

I confess that I did get a chuckle out of some of the images in that article, but when I give it some of my usual over-analytic thought, and get past the obvious comments on the crudeness of the humor, behavior and photoshopping, I get the impression that many of the couples shown are unsophisticated country folk, and it's really sad that it has become acceptable to publicly ridicule this class of people (eg, as seen on many TV shows here in the USA over the last 5 years or so).

I don't want to get all preachy, but I'll bet that one doesn't have to go very far back in the family tree of any of us to find relatives from 100 years ago that were in the same social strata as the couples shown and probably had similar senses of humor to them. Back then, they were called "country bumpkins" and, unfortunately, were looked on with similar disdain.

unsophisticated country bumpkins....They have a nerve!:mrgreen: I am totally disgusted with the fun they look like they're having! Repulsive, repudiating. Utterly immoral to say the least!:mrgreen:

I hope it was an open bar!
