I have to say I admire her attitude. I'm not sure I would have the courage to show such fortitude if DH had bailed on our wedding.

    I really love that her parents took part. My dad would have been a dick and been like "I paid for that shit, resell it!"

    I think it's sweet her family was a part of it. Having been in some crappy break ups (thank god), that whole "not being the girl everyone tip toes around" really resonates. I think it's a great way to get a good memory out of the dress, photographer, bridesmaid dresses, etc that you've already paid for.

    I don't generally approve of trashing the dress, but in this case I love it!

    I know! I loved the final result. I also thought it was awesome that her parents and bridesmaids participated.

    I love the pic of the bride and her dad with cigars and his tux is paint-splattered too. That's so awesome to take a really sad situation and make something so fun out of it. And I also love when the photog said the bride never trash-talked her ex, not once, and that it really was just a celebration about her. Classy AND fun.

    I think this girl is very smart and mature. She was given lemons and turned them into lemonade. I really loved the part at the end when she said she didn't have any resentment towards her ex, and that she never bad mouthed him, not once.

    I thought so too! As I was skimming through the photos I was like "Hm... I bet some bride is gonna want to buy that dress just because of how awesome it looks with all the colors." New trend?

    Very cool of the parents and bridal party to take part. Also neat the the dress is now on display.  

    When people can take a sad situation and turn it around, that's admirable. Did you see the one where the family used the reception to host homeless people for a nice dinner? I think it was in Atlanta. 
     
    An acquaintance of mine was broken up with by his fiancee just a few months before the big day. He threw a "Not a Wedding" party on what would have been his wedding day and made it an opportunity for people to re-wear old wedding clothes (like old bridesmaids dresses that women really would not ever wear again).

    My friends/family have done this twice now, but for engagement parties because the break-up happened earlier.  First time, my friend's fiancee dumped him three days before the e-party.  His parents had already ordered all the catering and couldn't cancel it, so all his friends went to his house, stuffed themselves, and got the ex-groom really, REALLY drunk.

    Second time, Fi's cousin was dumped, again shortly before the e-party.  Her mom told a white lie to her dad and said the catering deposit was just a wash.  But really they let her take a credit on using the hall another time, so she is using the credit to plan the bride's father a surprise 60th bday party.

    I like this in theory but it seems like a really expensive therapy lesson.  If someone pulled that shit on my friend I may show up to her TTD session but I'd probably send a bill for my BM dress to the asshat who decided that he needed to take back his proposal within days of the wedding.
