I… uh, wow. Well, there’s really no good way to describe this.
Other than: Groom gets pals to dress up as General Zod, who yells at the wedding party to kneel before him, and threatens to make the bride clean his shoes.
All I gotta say is, that groom must be damn confident the father-in-law likes him (or Superman), or I’d be watching my back for the next 35 or so years. Comics Alliance calls it “deeply, deeply awkward” — I call it horrifying. I’m sure we can find an adjective that describes both.
(Upon further viewing — does Supergroom actually purple nurple General Zod? Just about 3:02. If this wedding were a bird, it would cry, “Awk, Awk, Awk.”)

Awkward for them. Hilarious for us.

Yeah, that’s awkward. But considering there were music cues for the deejay, and it was timed before the cake-cutting, and there was that staged kiss at the end, I doubt it was done without the bride’s consent. So any inter-family fallout is likely to be limited by that.
Geek love isn’t always pretty, but this just looks like goofy fun. And the clean his shoes line was probably inserted to *avoid* embrassment… “Kneel before Zod” is so iconic, but it’s so hypersexual that the shoes line seems to be an effort to defuse that. Not that it worked.

Still, it beats doing the electric slide.

I’m embarrassed just watching it. As Bill Murray said in Quick Change, “it’s bad luck just seeing a thing like that.”

High cringe factor on that one. Couldn’t make it all the way through. Glad I didn’t do anything like that at my wedding, but they seemed to be enjoying themselves and the crowd humored them, so I suppose it can be considered a success.

For some reason I can’t handle watching an awkward situation, but it makes me laugh just knowing this has happened.

What bothers me is that for the biggest day of his life, the groom couldn’t bothered to put on a decent Superman costume. I mean, REALLY.
