I think it's fair to say that they do the traditional wedding photos somewhat differently in Russia. While it's all about romance, beauty, and gazing longingly into each other's eyes in the Western world, Russian couples choose to let their humor and personalities shine through. And as you will see, they sometimes come up with bizarrely creative and hilarious examples that will never be forgotten!
The Russian wedding traditions might lead to the outcome of these hilariously funny pictures, as the celebration involves indecent amounts of Vodka, foods, and dancing that might last up until a week. Surely, after partying for a week, some bizarre ideas are bound to pop into your head.
From questionably tacky efforts and the infamous slav squat in every second picture to some that are obviously poking fun at themselves, these guys clearly love using bad photoshop almost as much as they love each other. To celebrate this, we have compiled a list of our favorites for you to enjoy and take inspiration from if you want your wedding pictures to be a little different from the boring standard formula that we tend to stick to.
Scroll down below to check the hilarious wedding ceremonies out for yourself! Na Zdorovie!

He Sure Loves Watermelon
Am I the only one disturbed by the placement of the watermelon ? I mean, is it me or they message is really nasty actually ? :))))
It is not to stain the dress, she holds a watermelon in this way. She didn't have those immoral thoughts as local commentators.
Load More Replies...Ewwww....gross. So what the watermelon is a metaphor for her vagina🍉?
Family Portrait
What is awesome about Russia (& other countries) is that there is no stigma to poverty.
I guess it must be tradition to include roadkill in your wedding picture? Maybe years of luck? LOL
The bride was kidnapped as a child; no need to dress up for this wedding.
Bless the parents. They made sure the bride and groom had the best attire possible. You can see clearly, these are not wealthy Olegaurds.
Bride And Groom Releasing Doves Of Peace On Their Special Day
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that dress... channelling Poison Ivy perhaps?
My thought, as well. Along with "Please don't get chicken juice on that gown!"
Load More Replies...ok, the raw chicken carcasses is one thing, but that dress is awesome!
I do not see any poison ivy in the green dress. The chickens will be caught and cooked later in the day. This is a very pretty wedding dress for spring and they plan on raising chickens on their green farm.
How To Keep A Man
Oh, wow... But she looks gorgeous. Reminds me of Lagertha from Vikings.

Her 3 wishes might be: 1. Put the toilet seat down. 2. No wet towel on the floor. 3. Do the dishes.
This is really cheap sparkling wine, so I am afraid to think what kind of genie could come out of it.
the elder generation has been drinking it since their glorious revolution in 1920s. Just because there was no alternatives in their Global super power labor camp state. The younger keep on drinking it because...because it's Russia, maybe

Load More Replies...Either she's an amazing break-dancer or this is one of those "perfect moment" photos just after she tripped...I can't decide.
I'm leaning towards the break-dancing. Everyone is clapping while looking at her, her arm is in the perfect position to support that stance and that is quite a height to get your legs back up to if you were to fall over

On The Way To Steal Your Man
It is from Russian fairy tale about enchanted princess . She was turn to frog by bad witch and was wait for some person, who could turn her back by kiss. In the same time there was a king with 3 sons and those man for make a choice for marriages had to shot from the bow in different directions. And they supposed to marry girls from the houses where their arrows fell. The arrow of youngest son was catched by this frog and it was a reason to married her. At the end of this story she was turn back to beautiful princess.
Load More Replies...This looks kind of like a variation of the Russian fairy tale "The frog princess" in which the three princes must shoot arrows into various locations to get their brides. The woman who brings back the arrow will be their wife. The youngest gets stuck with a frog who turns out to be an enchanted princess. This must be her.

The only reason they couldn't Photoshop out the guy in jeans is 'cause he's the groom.
I’m extra confused by leather jacket guy. I bet he wasn’t even in the wedding, he just photobombed. But he brought a gift and now he’s the couple’s child’s godparent. Ah, Russia.
I guess they were one groomsman short so they plucked the dude on the right off the street to fill in.

Load More Replies...Either the entertainment.. or the bride has a special fashion sense :)
Load More Replies...Hmmm..looks like he married the chick from the stag party instead >.<
I guess no one told him you just have to pay the hooker, not marry her.
I think the entire church where the wedding took place needs to go for confession because that dress is seriously naughty
And they just had to pick the ugliest, most in need of repair dock for their legs-wide-open photo. Oh wait. It's Russia. That IS the nicest dock.

Russian wedding photographers are like that one teenager that just discovered Photoshop... lol
LOL. I don't even know how to comment on these pictures. But, Russians are a superstitious kind of people, especially on wedding days, as you can see in The Deer Hunter.
Load More Replies...Besides the photos themselves are funny, the post in general is just a huge stereotype of Russia in western world. Are you sure there're no weird photographers in your country? What you see on these images are VEEEERY low-budget example of "photographers" work without any sense of taste or beauty. However, wedding photography in Russia in general has a very high level (simply due to the high market competition). Just go to mywed.com and filter by country. It is a shame people from other countries (and mostly from US) look at this photos and think "this is the Russian wedding photography". :(((
The joke is that this kind of photography (?) can be found in the States, India, France, Hungary or Japan as well...:)
Be proud. I am quite sure that every culture has some VERY strange photos of wedding days. I've taken photos of all kinds of weddings and I will tell you, what the bride and groom come up with are very odd to me.
Load More Replies...What a tragedy it is that so few people in the western world have ever met any Russians. Yes, they are different in many ways, but just like us in others. Get to know them - they are good people to know.
I really enjoyed seeing all of these photos. The women are beautiful and the men have a sense of humor. Let's hope that they will always have a ready smile and laugh because marriage is trying at times.
