Topless 'Karen' interrupts intimate resort wedding, confuses guests, breaks the law.
Wedding crashers are usually playing the game for free food, the open bar, and a dance floor full of tipsy strangers drunk on romance and mojitos, but what about the curious stranger who just wants to crash the photos?
Free the signature drinks, cocktail hour appetizers, and also...the nipple? So, when an uninvited guest decided to make an appearance at an intimate beach resort wedding, she certainly gave the stunned newlyweds a show they'll never forget.
Topless Karen interrupts the wedding...
Back in 2017 I still used to work as a photographer and this is a wedding I definitely won’t forget. Picture the most idyllic tropical beach wedding on a 5 star resort island. The ceremony has just started, sun is shining, the bride is blushing, all is perfect.
The ceremony master is an older local gentleman, there are two young flower girls, four drummers (all local resort staff) and one of the front office employees is also attending.
The bride and groom have only brought two friends with them as witnesses, but a couple of other resort guests have stopped by to watch including a cute older couple in their seventies. Overall it’s a very small and intimate ceremony. Not even two minutes in I notice a lady walking towards us and it looks like she’s wearing a beige swimsuit.
The closer she gets the more obvious it becomes that she’s actually topless and is proudly displaying what can only be described as two massive silicone melons. She walks up and stands right behind the wedding ceremony canopy.
The ceremony master is standing with his back towards her and reading from a file so he can’t see the Boobie Karen and the ceremony continues despite a panic clearly spreading on everyone’s faces.
Here’s the thing - this is a Muslim country and being topless is illegal so staff don’t really know how to deal with situations like this. The drummers are staring.
The young local front office guy is quietly arguing with one of the flower girls about who should go and address the issue. The older lady looks like she’s about to faint. Me and the videographer are not resort staff so we are just going ahead and trying to find angles that would let us avoid the two giant distractions in the background...
Finally the ceremony master realizes that something is wrong, turns around, looks at the Karen - then her melons - then Karen again, turns back to the bride and groom clearly in shock and...continues reading vows from the file - but now with a heavy stutter. By this time the front office guy has finally gathered the courage and is walking over to Karen.
He quietly tells her she needs to cover up to which she replies - sure - and crosses her arms over. And that’s it. She just continues standing there. I guess someone had called a more senior European manager over to deal with the situation but by the time he reached the ceremony was over.
The Karen had already congratulated the newlyweds (with a heavy Italian accent) and continued her leisurely stroll on the beach. We obviously did more posed shots after Karen left but apart from that she’s literally right behind the couple in every wider angle photo from the actual ceremony.
And to this day I don’t know whether she was simply an as*hole or perhaps oblivious that this is was not acceptable. Who knows - maybe she even thought she’s generously gracing the ceremony with her beauty.
Of course, the jury of wedding shamers was eager to weigh in on this crasher...

Omg even without her being half naked, how stupid or egotistical you have to be to stand right behind the couple during the ceremony. I’m a video editor who works freelance with a wedding agency and I would have been dying inside making this wedding video.
I once had a dj standing far away but still visible in the shot and that was incredibly annoying, but at least that was the venue set up and nothing could be done about that. This however is just terrible.

You know I was thinking my reaction to this story really betrays my age. Like when I was younger I would have thought this was kinda flamboyant and brave and now I’m like “get off my lawn you fricking narcissist.'

Standing intentionally right in the way of all the photos and stuff though? If she had just stood off the the side like a guest it would have maybe been uncomfortable but not downright rude.

Wow. There's a time and a place for being topless. This was not it.
