For being totally terrified of the idea of a wedding (not getting married as much as the wedding itself--with all its expense and bridezilla-esq complications) I definitely talk/think about it a lot. I blame my apartment's addiction to TLC and HGTV. And the fact that people I know! are finally hitting the age where weddings don't come with shotguns and Romeo&Juliet-style angst. (<--You should really click on that link.)While wading through my feed today, I found a post by the ladies at Jezebel for a website called Trash The Dress. I gotta say, I'm a sucker for badass photos and the ones on this site are pretty awesome. Though the Jezebel folks call out the "TTD" crew for the non-feminist slant in their manifesto:
In fact, the website's manifesto implies that TTD is less about iconoclasm and more about brides stroking the egos of their brand-new husbands!Haha. They might have done better to say their pictures would really help emphasize the whole "Til Death Do Us Part" section of the vows. Some of these ladies look ready for the CSI team to pick them up:You've made a commitment to your husband. He's your one and only true love, right? Then you'll never need the dress again. And no, your daughter won't wear it in 20-30 years. So you have two choices: 1) Suffocate it in plastic and throw it in a closet, 2) Show your husband how committed you are by trashing the dress, and get some great fun pictures while you do it!
