There's something wrong with this wedding photo

The sister of the bride posted the image on reddit

A couple’s wedding photo didn’t go exactly as they planned when they decided to add a personal touch.

The newlyweds went for something different for those all-important wedding photos, but made a crucial error in the process.

The bride Stephanie and her new husband Miles held up painted letters at the ceremony which spelled out “I do” and then “S & M” — referencing the first initial of each partner’s name.

However, it appears they may have missed something. The bride’s sister, on the other hand, certainly didn’t and chose to post the image on Reddit, with the caption: “Some people bond over church, others bond over sports, and a few bond over pain, either self-inflicted or inflicted on others.”

Given the smiles produced in the photo, the couple were seemingly unaware they had inadvertently referred to the sexual practice, sadomasochism.

Users on Reddit soon commented that similar things had happened to them and their partner, only realising the errors either once photos were taken or messages had already been iced on top of cakes.
