Weddings

In Sweden, eleven couples gathered at Goteburg Cathedral to be married at 11:11AM on 11/11/11. Meanwhile, similar group weddings took place in New York City's Times Square and Las Vegas. Seeing a pattern here?

Many couples choose to have unique, offbeat weddings, and one couple in particular decided on something complete different for their wedding cake. Sitting on top of what can only be assumed as an automotive-themed wedding, sits a semi-truck next to the bride and groom figurines. The working lights on the truck suggest anyone attempting to eat it has probably hit the cash bar hard.

Now, this is true love. Mary and Raymond Donaldson were married yesterday while running the New York City Marathon. Good thing the pastor was in shape.

New Zealander David Shoemark had asked his long-time girlfriend Cherie Butler to marry him on several occasions, only to be put off with the promise of "some day." So when he arrived at what he had been told was a family picnic, he was pleasantly surprised to find it was actually his wedding.

We all know that using a cell phone during a wedding ceremony is a huge no-no. Unfortunately no one told that to this bride who was caught on camera texting during her own nuptials. Unless she's telling the groom to get his behind to the chapel, that's a huge faux pas.

In what we're hoping isn't a bad omen, a dust storm rolls into a wedding ceremony, blinding the bride and groom and obscuring nearly everything. Let's hope the band didn't play 'Dust in the Wind' during the reception.

In traditional Mexican weddings, the bride and groom form a human bridge under which the rest of the guests pass. It is not tradition, however, for that bridge to collapse, like it does in this video. (The good stuff starts at about 1:30.)

Of all the things that could go wrong on a wedding day, losing a tooth has got to rank as one of the worst. That very thing happened to Hilary Duff when she married NHL player Mike Comrie last year.

Improv Everywhere founder Charlie Todd pranked the guests at his wedding to fellow troupe member Cody Lindquist by having a pro wrestler interrupt the ceremony during the "Speak now or forever hold your peace" part.

For the second time this month, we have video of a flower girl going rogue. Last time, it was the wedding party's youngest member picking up the flowers after the other flower girl dropped them. In this latest incident, a flower girl puts her finger to her lips and starts shushing as the pastor begins to marry the couple.

BuzzFeeder Dan Milano snapped a photo of this unfortunate scene at his cousin's wedding. It looks like somebody should have gone with fewer bridesmaids.

Archie Comics has announced that there will be a same-sex wedding featured in Life With Archie #16, which hits stores in January 2012.

An Ohio couple decided the best way to kick off the thrill ride that is matrimony is to get hitched atop a roller coaster with their friends and family in the cars behind them. And since they had already strayed so far from a traditional ceremony, they decided they may as well also have an Elvis impersonator officiate their big day, too.

This bizarre clip of a wedding for two Pekingese dogs comes courtesy of a 1956 film about champion Pekingese breeder Alexandra Williams. Williams' Pekingese get a regal affair for their nuptials: The bride rocks a Princess Di-style gown, the groom is in a tux and even the bridesmaids are styling in purple taffeta. Too much? What, they should get married at City Hall like a couple of poor mutts?

Wedding photography isn't always terribly original -- flip through the albums of a dozen couples and you'll usually find many of the same shots and poses (hey, if it ain't broke). French photographer Beatrice de Guigne has knowingly captured the essence of the modern wedding album in a shoot with everyone's favorite toyland couple, Barbie and Ken. Over three days, de Guigne snapped photos as the p
