Let me state the obvious right off the bat: these sullen, unhappy-looking men are the ugliest, most hideous-looking brides, male or female, I have had the displeasure of seeing. Ever.
And that includes retired basketball player Dennis Rodman’s infamous and fugly photos dressed in a wedding gown. At least the attention-seeking Rodman had the decency to wear heavy makeup and a wig making the hideousness a bit more palatable.
As happened to em with Rodman’s photos five years ago, I will not be able to sleep, keep anything in my stomach or attend anything resembling a wedding for a very, very long time.
