Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively 'deeply and unreservedly sorry' for wedding at plantation

Actor Ryan Reynolds says he and his wife Blake Lively will “always be deeply and unreservedly sorry” for holding their wedding at a former plantation in South Carolina.

Reynolds discussed his “shame” over the 2012 wedding at Boone Hall in Charleston County in an interview posted by Fast Company Tuesday.

“It’s something we’ll always be deeply and unreservedly sorry for,” he said. “It’s impossible to reconcile. What we saw at the time was a wedding venue on Pinterest. What we saw after was a place built upon devastating tragedy.”

The “Deadpool” actor said a “mistake like that can either cause you to shut down or it can reframe things and move you into action.”

The couple donated $200,000 to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund in May as the Black Lives Matter movement grew in prominence following George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis police custody.

Last year, the couple reportedly donated $1 million to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights, according to Fast Company.

Oh it’s okay Obama was president then. Now if you did it in 2016 and beyond that would be a problem.

I guess this eliminates future school trips to visit Congress, the White House, or the U.S. Supreme Court.

May as well burn them down too.

So they got married at what used to be a plantation? It’s not like they got married at a real current slave holding location, like a Nike factory or an Apple factory.

So they are bankrolling race war and 3rd world invasion. what we used to call "treason."

I thoroughly enjoyed visiting Belle Meade in Nashville area; https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiUoqKii4LrAhU4oHIEHe2IBaEQFjACegQIARAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbellemeadeplantation.com%2F&usg=AOvVaw1UJlcIpqyCBdww5w2dK7wU
The Black lady tourguide definitely was allowed to spend significant time on the slaves that worked there.

In Virginia we toured such a place, it was very educational. This is ridiculous.

Hey Ryan! Hold back the tears! Cancel the shame! Just announce that it was a ranch. The adoring media will cheerfully re-write that little bit of history for you.

NOTE:

Jane Fonda, Ted Turner Marry in Private Florida Ceremony
DEC. 22, 1991
FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAPPS, Fla. — “Ted Turner and Jane Fonda were married Saturday in a ceremony attended by about 30 friends and relatives at Turner’s ranch near Capps, about 20 miles east of Tallahassee, Fla.”
https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-12-22-mn-1611-story.html

Look Inside Ted Turner‘s House in Florida

Media mogul Ted Turner‘s sprawling Colonial Revival house in Florida, Avalon Plantation, is located just outside of Tallahassee “Situated in the Red Hills region of north Florida, it is not only a naturalist's paradise but a historic property, established as the Welaunee cotton plantation by a member of the distinguished Gamble family of Virginia in 1826.”

That might’ve pissed off a few family members. Two of his brothers are cops.

Oh, for crying out loud! Good thing they didn’t get married at the White House! I hear it was built by slaves! Should we tear IT down? Move the President to a hotel?

I must be officially old because I’ve never heard of either one of these two before.
