To trash, or not to trash


There is a new thing happening - I saw it on some wedding photographer sites and on some stupid wedding show on cable once - trashing the dress.

The idea is that you won't ever wear the dress again, so "trash" it in a fun photo shoot so you don't have to keep it in your closet forever. Brides destroy their dresses by hopping in pools, wading in lakes, taking a dip in a fountain, rolling around in the dirt - whatever. And - it seems - brides get all made up again, and grooms get to look more casual.

So, our photos are back - they're wonderful, but B's smile wasn't all it could be - he was recovering from his facial palsy still. I'm not a traditional bride, or a prima donna type who would want a photo shoot, but I'm a little tempted to trash.

It'd be a chance to be silly, get some cool photos of B's dreamy smile which has returned completely now, and find a good use for this dress...

What do you think?

Do It! I'm contemplating Doing my dress for an anniversary. I wanted to do it right away but my mom shed a few tears and I figured I'd wait until I have my dress back in my possession. Hmm, I wonder if this post baby body can work it? :)

Do you get to go to some exotic locale like the people in that show? Cool idea I say.

Maybe you can do Promenatory Point after all ;-)
