Overly Creative 'TNT' Wedding Favors Cause Airport Evacuation
In DepthHard truth: Wedding favors (unless they’re edible) often suck. No one wants to carry home a trinket emblazoned with the bride and groom’s names and wedding date, and none of us have space for three mason jars filled with colored sand. But they suck even more if they look like explosives and cause an airport to shut down. Because that’s a thing that actually happened.
It’s hard to say who deserves the blame here: the unidentified bride and groom who playfully turned their initials —“T and T”—into glass jars filled with bath salts and sealed with wax so that they resembled old-timey dynamite (which is actually kind of clever if you take the TSA out of the equation), or the guests who decided that taking “glass bottles filled with a crystal substance and topped with fuses” through airport security was going to end with anything other than heartache, delays, and a 20-minute evacuation.
