It's the number one rule of being a bridesmaid that you should never outshine the bride. 

But some people seem to take that motto to the extreme by getting carried away as soon as they slip into that satin dress, by doing their best to disgrace the wedding party. 

People have been sharing their worst and most hilarious bridesmaid moments with Awkward Family Photos  and from disastrous dresses to looking over amorous with the groom, it's fair to say they probably didn't make the wedding album. 

It's only fair to say that some of the cringeworthy snaps are not the fault of the bridesmaids themselves, but rather the person responsible for making them wear dubious, such as the girls who had to don floor-length fur trimmed purple gowns, with white muffs and matching hats. 

And one unfortunate bridesmaid ended up being kicked in the face by the groom as he leapt in the air on the beach for what should have been a fun shot by the album.
