Makes no sense.
The poor groom. The poor parents. Prayers all around.
Oh c’mon...really?
Is this because it’s a Monday and no Pubbies convention news?
Praying for both families.
turning your solemn day into a day of populist stunts
guess even the successdul ones will feel sorry, latter on, that they invested desire for memories into the mundane manufactured kind
The article claims "the ritual was meant as a joyous celebration of having found her partner for life."
Utter bunk. This is the cover story - and a very nasty one it is, because the bride is told that if she doesn't do it, she thinks she might need it later on, and therefore she doesn't really love her husband.
Insidious, isn't it? And when I see something that insidious, I immediately think: liberal.
And just look - ONLY liberal brides do this. Try to get a conservative bride to trash her wedding dress, and you'll be looking down the barrel of a shotgun.
But why? Well, groupthink. Liberals obey their groups, so the group wants this. And why?
Because brides are extremely dangerous to liberalism.
At no other time does a woman so deeply love a man, respect a man, and stand up in society, on her own, as loving and respecting her man.
Pretend you're a collectivist feminist - this situation is intolerable! But what can you do? You've got the girls form a very young age, all through school. You've got the women as they enter college or the work world or once they join OES or obey it long enough to get divorced. You've got the older women who have fully indulged in celebrating lives of rabid hatred. Fine.
But a newlywed? Do you realize that you can lose a newly married woman FOREVER?! She loves her husband - a man! She respects her husband - a man! THIS MUST STOP - IMMEDIATELY!
So, you're a feminist, and you're evil, and you'se a sadist, so you go for the guts. Right in the middle of the joy of the marriage - right before she can even box up her wedding gown, THE GROUP demands she not only destroys, but literally rapes and photographs the rape, of her own wedding - in the form of that ultimate symbol, her wedding dress.
And if she doesn't, she's told she doesn't intend to stay married, and doesn't really love her new husband.
Hows THAT for cognitive dissonance so perverse, it could only be called satanic (or Hilaryanic, take your pick).
And then, when the stupid collectivist idiot trashes her dress, you have her back. The seed is planted at her very wedding that the reason for that dress - her love and respect for her husband, a man - is worthy only of trashing. Of extreme disrespect boardering on rape. And ultimately on complete rejection, and in looking through the pictures for years to come, exulting in that rape, and that rejection of her marriage, and her love and respect for her husband.
And the feminists smile.
Mission accomplished.
You see that Soccer Mom, with that stroller, in that SUV?
You have NO IDEA how f****d up she really is.
None.
I have never heard of this “trash the dress” thing. I thought it was saved for a daughter to wear someday or sold for some extra cash.

The 30-year-old woman had recently bought a house in Laval, started working as a real estate agent with Via Capitale, got married June 9, and went on a honeymoon in the Caribbean.
She was really, really happy, said family friend Leeza
Pousoulidis said her friend wanted a way to immortalize her dress, and was excited to take pictures with it in Rawdon on Friday afternoon, as part of a growing trend called trash the dress, in which brides pose for pictures in their wedding dresses, often in unconventional settings like in bodies of water.
Shes a really fun girl, and she just didnt want her wedding dress sitting in a box in the closet, Pousoulidis said. She said I want to have fun with my wedding dress. I want to have great pictures and memories of me in my wedding dress.
Is “Trash the dress” available as a screen name on FR?
