Hilariously Unfortunate Engagement Blogs

This Series of Bad Engagement Photos Will Make You Cringe

— November 24, 2013 — Pop Culture
'Bad Engagement Photos' is a blog that collects couples’ awkward engagement photos for your viewing pleasure. These hilarious photos prove that love can often be a force so powerful it clouds your better judgment. Whether it’s a hilarious attempt to recreate the iconic upside-down Spiderman kiss, an unintentional mooner in the background or awkward, unnatural hand gestures, this cringe-worthy collection is sure to have you chuckling.

If there’s one thing we can learn from this comedic blog, it’s that hindsight is 20/20. I’m sure most of these couples will regret their creative decisions, from using a porta-potty as a prop or including their furry feline in the pictures. As for the rest of us, we can use these unfortunate errors in judgement as a lesson to not let our creativity get the best of us.
