The point these brides are making - in this culture of serialized polygamy - is that they only need a wedding gown once, since they intend to be married to one man for life.
I get that but I’m betting there are safer ways to destroy the dress than dip into into the river while the girl is still in it. Why not set fire to it while the bride is still in it? Makes as much sense.
I thought the tradition was to pass the gown down to your daughter?
I never heard that women traditionally saved the wedding gowns for future weddings, and what about getting older and middle aged spread?
This new weird thing, doesn’t make much sense.
Ironically, she got her wish.
Yeah but there are also traditions of trying it on every year, or your daughter using/modifying it and gettin g married in it, etc. After all the money you fork out for one I’d say hell no you aren’t destroying it.
