OK, this kinda freaked me out.

I was checking out Awkward Family Photos when I came across the picture below...

I don't get why it's awkward. LOL

Awkward for i_scribble, or awkward in general?

[ahavah]

Awkward in general. That's quite a common pose in "professional" portraits.

Oh, I think what makes it most awkward is the choice in wardrobe. I wouldn't think one would pose for a picture commemorating one's wedding day in a polo shirt.

This was apparently on a page announcing a "Awkward Engagement Photos" contest. There is debate in the posted comments as to whether this particular picture is actually awkward. But the other one sure is! Look: http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/2009/12/21/awkward-engagement-photo-contest/

Oh yeah, now that one definitely qualifies. Especially since, well, you'd think the guy would look a little happier.

Hi hon!

No, not especially awkward per se, but kinda awkward for me. The first thing I thought when I saw that pic was 'holy sh!t holy sh!t holy sh!t..."
:laughs:

I don't actually know what you look like, so I'd just have to take your word for it. I could see why it'd be awkward for you if it showed up on that site looking like you.
