Book Review of Brides Behaving Badly: Wild Wedding Photos You Were Never Meant to See

Brides Behaving Badly: Wild Wedding Photos You Were Never Meant to See
Kraduate avatar reviewed on + 35 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 5


There a few mildly amusing Bridezilla photos like the one that graces the cover, several drunk Brides, and even a couple of Brides on the toilet. Then there are the obviously posed photos of Brides and their bridesmaids being silly with kinda cute captions. But the majority of the pictures are of non-traditional weddings where the Bride is not even remotely behaving badly--these seem to be included for the purpose of ridiculing. Star Trek, Star Wars, and Elvis themed weddings pics aren't what I would consider "wild wedding photos". Many of the "witty" captions are mean spirited, especially in the case of redneck weddings or when the Bride is simply dressed differently than a traditional Bride. A wedding party dressed in plaid isn't funny, it's just different.
Most of the pictures have no business in a book titled "Brides Behaving Badly". For example, there is a picture of a pretty Bride with pink hair, the caption reads "Yes, but do the drapes match the carpet?" Not terribly funny, and it certainly doesn't match the theme of the book. It is like the authors just printed up some pictures off the internet; in fact, I know I have seen some of these before with way funnier comments.
