Woman Almost Drowned by Her Heavy Gown During 'Trash the Dress' Shoot
In Depth
Trash the dress shoots are controversial: Some think they’re cool and artistic, some think they’re pedestrian and tacky. What no one’s really thought before this video surfaced, however, is that these photo sessions could actually be deadly. But five people had to rescue this bride from her memory-making.
According to The Daily Mail, the bride’s name is Amy and, for some reason or another—probably a failure to grasp the elementary concept of physics—she decided to embark upon a shoot in which she would jump off a boat in a heavy dress weighted down by several layers of tulle and shit (“and shit” being the most popular material for making the wedding dresses of today). The Daily Mail also reports that, surprisingly, Amy is not the first person to have been pulled underwater by her dress. A woman in Montreal died attempting the same photoshoot.
