Love can make people do the strangest things: A collection of the most awkward Valentine's Day photos ever

Thursday is Valentine’s Day, that annual celebration of romantic love when people express their amorous feelings for one and other by sending flowers, confectionery and greeting cards.

Some couples may even decide to get a photograph taken to mark the occasion, something unique that truly expresses how they feel for each other and what makes their love different from all the rest.
The old saying goes that 'Love is Blind,' but as this collection of extremely awkward Valentine’s photos show, at least there appears to be someone for everyone.
The photographs have been compiled by the blog Awkward Family Photos which was started by childhood friends Mike Bender and Doug Chernack after they discovered a strange picture hanging in Mike's family's house.
Realizing there were probably plenty of other people out there with their own awkward family images, the two friends decided to create a friendly place where everyone could come together and share their uncomfortable family moments.
What's more awkward than love? Nothing, at least according to these photos.

What's wrong with this picture? This photo would be pretty romantic if it wasn't for the barbed wire and fencing in the background

To signify just how much in love they are, this couple have had their pics superimposed on top of a silhouette of the one person's head
