I’m sure by now you’re familiar with the phenomenon of trashing the wedding dress. I must say I was completely clueless until I started to come across it in a few magazines and online. And frankly, I am a bit surprised at the popularity. The premise is this: after the wedding (thankfully!) you and a photographer (and possibly your groom) go on a photo shoot where you basically destroy the dress. You run in the ocean, you jump in mud, you roll on the ground, whatever your fancy. The theory behind this is that you’ll have some fun, get great pictures, and when else are you going to need your dress again?
Something about this really upsets me! I love art as much of the next person, and these photo shoots are great. I shouldn’t really get upset, but it just seems so wasteful. And granted, they’re right, you aren’t going to wear the dress again. Your future daughter probably won’t want to wear it. You’ll probably leave it in a plastic bag for the rest of eternity. But nonetheless, this just seems wrong! Another reason for it is that you’re committed to your husband, so you’re only getting married and don’t need the dress again. But completely destroying it seems a bit hypocritical, too. You don’t destroy the wedding band after you say your vows. What do you guys think? Am I missing out on the fun?
