GRAPHIC DESIGNERS AND WEDDING PROGRAMMES


Being a chorister in a church that holds a wedding almost every other Saturday means that I have seen countless wedding programmes. If I did not see yours, then it was either I was not present or you did not print any.

I have seen wedding programmes designed like fans, scrolls, butterflies and other amazing designs that make you feel like having a wedding if you are not yet married or even having another one if you already have.

But in the midst of all these splendor and spectacle lies one thing that can turn it all into one big joke and this is the grammatical blunder some wedding programmes present- thanks to graphic designers.

Below are some stolen shots from a few of these wedding programmes. As usual VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED


EXCHANGE OF VOWELS instead of
EXCHANGE OF VOWS 

PICH BOYS instead of PAGE BOYS


WALL DROP instead of WARDROBE

You might be tempted to blame the couple for not supervising these graphic designers but believe you me, after being part of the organizers of my three sisters’ separate weddings, I have come to realize that this is bound to happen when there is so many more important things to be done within a short time.

If you are reading this and you are planning to get married soon, I would advise that you keep an eye on your graphic designer else (s)he will either misspell your name or instead of typing; 

1 John 4:18 that says “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear; because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love", he will type 

John 4:18 that reads, "…For you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband…”

I can’t wait to steal a picture of you when this happens.
