Well, what we see here is definitely mind-boggling. The phrase "mutton dressed as lamb" is about the only comment that is fit to print. In fact it is all so jaw-dropping that I could scarcely believe it was true; perhaps it was a setup for a TV program, or some other kind of put-up job. So I did a bit of detective work.
This was a real wedding. It took place in the Republic of Ireland earlier this year. The pictures were posted on a local community website, where they were noticed and referenced on a couple of *bridal* forums. The accompanying community guestbook has one reference suggesting that the couple are part of the "traveller" community, what we used to call gypsies or tinkers.
The original site had a lot more photographs on it. Someone made a Powerpoint presentation out of a few, which was then referenced on a couple of lads sites (football, rugby), and there Penny found them.
The original site has taken the photo's offstream, clearly noticing the vast influx of less-than-respectful viewers (and possibly having their bandwidth overwhelmed).
I'm being deliberately obscure. I think the poor couple have suffered enough, whatever you may think of their guests dress sense, having been the subject of ridicule for a few months now. Some blame has to attach to the webmaster, though - what can they have been thinking of? Security in obscurity?
