Sour Puss

I was browsing through the weddingbee boards when I stumbled on this post. It was a simple "Thank You" to Pronovias for having their models smile in pictures. This is something that has been on my mind for awhile... Especially while paging through wedding magazines, I have noticed that many of the models look downright sour! On top of that the ones that don't look mad, often look down right ridiculous!

Now, I understand being "artsy" and "high fashion" but come on... these are dresses for WEDDINGS! These women should be HAPPY! Or, at the very least not totally angst ridden. I should preface by saying that I have nothing against the designers or dresses pictured below.

Without Further Ado, a collection of the funniest/oddest/unhappiest beautiful ladies and what I imagine they are thinking:

"I have to get my hands untied so I can get to my wedding! The evil Count Weddingwrecker will be sorry once I get out of here!"

"Oops! I tooted"  or  "I think I slipped a disk!"

"Alas...Alas I cannot crane my head any further at this awkward angle...Surely my wedding will be ruined."

"I knew I should not have taken Lunesta last night... How am I going to sleep walk my way out of this Forrest and back to the wedding?"

Of course, angsty brides aren't the only ones having all the (lack of) fun! There seems to be a trend in Mother of the Bride models to wear and expression of thinly veiled disdain.

"I can't believe they went with grey suites after I told them I liked Navy..."

"You're happy with that hairstyle?"

" Oops I tooted!" (I know I should not have used that one twice.. )How about this one, "What do you mean there was fish in those crab cakes?!"

This was all well and good, for a laugh, but seriously bridal brands, what's with all the sour pusses?

Have you noticed this? Have you ever had a "high fashion" picture turn out more silly than serious?
