whats the deal with wedding 'photo booths'?


I really don't fucking get it---this trend that everyone wants a crappyass 'photo booth ' at their wedding. And when I say photobooth i don't mean the 'traditional' box you sit in and knock off a few shots that at least has a cool, traditional feel. I'm talking about the hung backdrop, shoved in a corner, distracting cheeseball setup and general bad behaviour. It's a WEDDING for Christ's sake, not a 6 year olds birthday party.

Now I have seen some cool ones - where you get neat shots of guests where it's fun and done tastefully...but it's the godamn props and drunken activities that kill me.

Stupid fucking feather boas.
Stupid fucking inflatable instruments.
Stupid fucking sparkle hats.
Stupid fucking goofy eyeglasses.
Stupid fucking Party Fucking City prop shit.
Stupid fucking fuckedy fuck fuck---awww fuck it. It fucking sucks.

Come on people----
Where has good taste and simplicity gone to? You're going to spend $50,000 on a wedding only to cheapen it with low-brow props and guys pretending to ass fuck each other the drunker they get? Mom and Dad making 'gang signs'? Brazen wasted bridesmaids threatening to expose their tits and pretend they are lesbian 'Charlie Angels' once they're on their 16th wine spritzer? Grandma like a geriatric Girl-Gone-Wild with her tongue sticking out like a panting dying dog licking a groomsman's face. Do I want to see this? Will your KIDS want to see this? THIS is a wedding these days?

While an unpopular point of view i'm sure, I hope that one day very soon we will look back, in the same way we do now with 'touch of color' photos and white faux-leather albums with gold cameos on the cover, and say - "what the fuck were we THINKING"?
