Most awkward couple EVER

So today, Lauren and I shot a wedding. The bride and groom were honestly the most awkward couple I have ever seen together in my life. It was honestly like they almost didn't want to be together. Their first kiss...well let's just say it was like he was kissing his Grandma goodbye...it was so short, Lauren completely missed it, I barely got it, and the pastor said "really? That's it?" afterwards. And then the best part (dun dun dun) during pictures, he wouldn't kiss her, and wouldn't smile and kept making really stupid faces. It was like pulling teeth to get him to do anything for pictures. Granted, we're not going to be the ones to tell you that you have to act a certain way, but when you're paying a significant amount for pictures (we're not exactly the cheapest photographers on the block), you would think you would at least like for your pictures to be nice. They were just so awkward together, Lauren and I really didn't know what to do about it. Thank goodness for the wedding party (they were all really cool and fun to work with) was there to crack jokes to get them to smile a little so we could get a few good pictures, but I could tell Lauren really wasn't 100% satisfied with what we got.

To make matters even better, at the reception, we do this thing called a "photo guestbook." We have people come over, we take their picture and it prints out on an 8.5x11 piece of paper and they write a note to the bride and groom and we put it in a leather bound book at the end of the night to take with them for their honeymoon to read...

Well, none of their guests wanted to do it. It took FOREVER to get anyone to come and get their pictures taken, and then neither set of parents wanted to. They would tell me "well we already got our pictures taken today so we don't need anymore..." Ok, you're paying for this, get your picture taken one more time and write some sort of advice to your child and their new husband/wife. That honestly annoys the CRAP out of me!

I guess I just don't understand how you could/would want to marry someone who you're not 100% comfortable with and someone that doesn't make you smile and someone who doesn't even want to kiss you. It was just one of the weirdest days I've had in awhile and definitely one of the most awkward couples I have ever had the "privilege" of working with.

Weddings are supposed to be "the happiest day of your life" (even though you should get happier every day after because if it's the best day, then it just goes downhill), and I just am not very sure that they were 100% happy to be together, and if they were, they sure didn't act like it!
