Texas woman celebrates divorce by blowing up wedding dress, explosion heard for 15 miles

This is one marriage that ended with a bang.

A Texas woman celebrated her divorce by blowing up her wedding dress on the family’s farm in LaCoste, 25 miles west of San Antonio, KSAT reported.

Kimberly Santleben-Stiteler obtained a divorce Friday in Medina County after 14 years of marriage to Henry Jordan Stiteler. On Saturday night, the 43-year-old celebrated with her parents, sisters, and brother-in-law by filling her wedding dress with 20 pounds of Tannerite, an explosive target material, KTRK reported. Santeben-Stiteler used a rifle to take a shot at the dress, positioned 200 yards away. Her shot was true, and her wedding dress went up in smoke.

“I wanted to remove all things from our marriage from our house,” Santleben-Stiteler told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “Photos in the attic, ring in the safe (but probably going to sell it) and the dress I wanted to burn.

“I had a lot of advice and suggestions from friends and family, like donating it for premature babies and baptism gowns. However, to me, the dress represented a lie. I wanted to have a divorce party to burn the dress.”

The explosion, met with cheers by Santleben-Stiteler's family, could be heard for miles.

She wants to remove all things from his marriage. Does that include his money?

Attractive rifle, and she knows how to use it. She'd be worth knowing.

To each his/her own but she was a good shot.
Sign her up for the shooting competition.

Exactly.

Rule #1 in life: Never, ever, should you trust a woman with a hyphenated name.

Over my long single life I had 2 broken engagements and got both rings back.

It takes a special talent to make the women that mad.

Now married for fist time, going on 8 years.

And then she went crying to a judge for alimony because she is poor, right?

Hopefully, they didn't have children.

A divorce party, pretty low class, not counting the poor judgement of setting off a big explosion.

I’m vacillating between liking her and thinking she is a drama queen.

In every divorce I’ve seen, there is generally plenty of blame to go around.

Good for her! Still possible to raise a little hell, have a little fun on your own property in this world. Save your outrage for actual enemies of freedom.

20 pounds of Tannerite. Way to go, numb nuts.

All this will do is help get Tannerite banned. It’s dumb. It’s like wearing an slinged AR-15 into Wal-Mart just because its an open carry state. Yeah it’s technically legal but it legitimately scares people and just gives ammunition (pun intended) to the anti-gunners. It serves no purpose whatsoever other than attention seeking.

“20 pounds of Tannerite. Way to go, numb nuts.”

It’s 1 pound of Tannerite per 100 yards distance. Shooting 20 pounds from 200 yards is damn loud and dangerous. Apparently someone in her family is involved with producing the kits and working around it at a range.
