A Baby, A Wedding Dress and a Drag Down the Aisle: Failing Successfully
There is never a shortage of mess on these interwebs and last week, and I already blogged about the bridal party and their drunk in love routine. Wells, some woman named Shona Carter-Brooks was all over everywhere. I was gon let Shona be and let the rest of everyone deal with it but enough of you sent me the pic and told me to put my 2 cents in that I was left choiceless.
She decided it’d be a good idea to attach her one-month old baby to the train of her wedding dress, so when she walked down the aisle, the baby was right behind her.
Yes, this really happened.
This is why we cannot have nice things. WHY WOULD YOU PUT YOUR FRESH OUT THE WOMB BABY ON YOUR DRESS?!?!?! That tulle doesn’t even GO with color newborn. UGH!
I just have nothing but questions here and can’t nobody give me answers.
1. Why? Seriously. WHY? It surely can’t just be because she wanted her newborn to be part of the festivities. Was her arm just too busy? Was there no way she could have possibly worn a satin sling to match her dress so the baby is being cradled in that? What was the motivation for this abomination?
I betchu she was all “We gon do this real different. People are gon be like ‘Oh that’s cute!'” NO WE WILL NOT, you misinformed summagoat. What is the matter with you, lady?!?
b. How did she fasten that baby on that train? Is there a velcro belt or a cotton arm holding the baby to the train like so? Who helped her do it? That brings me to my next query.
iii. Where were the grandparents and the village? Sometimes, we come up with dumb ideas but the people around us need to keep us in check. Didn’t anyone say to her “Maybe you shouldn’t do this? In fact, let ME hold the baby.” Where was Mee-Maw and Pop-Pop in all this? Again, who was the enabler who helped with the baby fastening? I blame THEM for this because if everyone had given her a hearty NAWL, she wouldn’t have been able to pull it off.
Looking at the picture, you see the bald man in all black and glasses looking down at the baby like “I wish I could save you from this.” Where was everyone else?
Good sense called and it wants its security deposit back with interest ASAPtually! You gotta be a fool to think this was the move. Except, Miss Shona is standing super wrong and super strong in her foolishness. She took to Facebook to clapback at the haters and here’s what she had to say:
“I see how it works regardless the situation or purpose people gone have something negative to say! The answer is we do what we want when we want long as Jesus on our side everything worked out fine and gone continue to be fine. Our 1 month old was awake and well secured on my train. Most important while yall got ya feelings in us we had our hearts in Christ which covers all!! So keep ya mouths running for it was just that Exclusive and Epic enough we made top blog way from small town Ripley, TN and the social media doing what they do, TALK!!!! Who paid yall for yall comments, none so watch us as we do us! Too bless for mess!! Thank God we aint no celebrities oops got fans, guess we is! Sign off Mr & Mrs Brooks!!” – Shona Carter-Brooks
If she don’t go sit her raggelly yansh down somewhere. HAVE ALL THE SEATS IN MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, MA’AM! \__ \__ \__
Folks STAY trying to stunt but do the most with the least for it. “Too bless for mess.” LMAOOOO! I love Christians who use Jesus as their “Get Out of Jail Free Card.” By love, I mean side-eye the heck out of. Yall gon stop invoking the name of MY Lord to support your lack of behavior. NO MA’AM! The only thing more unwavering than her faith is her stupidity.
But she’s TOO BLESS FOR MESS!!!
Again, was common sense busy? Did it go on vacation and leave her to herself? That poor baby didn’t need to get dragged down the aisle to be a part of the wedding. Yall gotta start talking to your cousins and telling them to do better.
Team Bad Decisions’ annual conference be so PACKED, yo. Too many people are required to attend.
So whatcha’ll think about Shona and her dress with baby on the back?
P.S. Things like this is why the UNABLE TO CAN tshirt is so necessary to own.

…another child left behind
….literally!
Junior Bush is shamed.
Another child left behind!!! ROTFLMBO!! I AM UNABLE TO CAN!
Something new and something blue all in one. Fix it Hay-Seuss.
Hay-Seuss!!! ROFLMAO!!!
I just imagine the baby rolling off on that carpet where extra ass Brother Vernon was just falling out and slobbering “in the spirit.”
You want the kid there that badly? Forego the bouquet and carry him/her.
This was foolish and her words made it WORSE!
Why couldn’t the baby have been waiting in Dad’s arms at the alter?
Why black folk always gotta be so damn extra
Let me throw out my life’s quote: “All my skin folk ain’t all my kin folk.”-Zora Neale Hurston
Yes! Aintie Zora always knew what to say!
Ooooh I’m adopting the quote ma’am. Thank you.
Loving he quote!
the*
I think whowever was in attendance for this foolishness should also be held accountable. Why didn’t anyone get up and pick that baby up off the floor? Why come not one person seemed concerned. They should all be slapped.
I think Kandi stole the show in Phaedra’s “Fix it Jesus” gif!!
No words for Mr and Mrs Brooks doe
THANK YOU LUVVIE! I am in the midst of HOWLING laughing and Amening at the same time! I wanted to speak on this mess but after reading her “response” I didn’t want to give her any more seconds on her 15 minutes. And with all that yammering she STILL hasn’t explained the significance–is she trying to say the baby is part of the baggage she’s bringing to the altar? I don’t think MSG has quite enough seats for this one.
You have spoken well for ALL of us watching this effery unfold.
I keep seeing people say “Girl, you’re doing too much, Have a seat” or “Extra, have a seat” Are we forgetting the baby is attached to her azz?
No ma’am, go stand in the corner!
Yes!!! Lol.
I don’t know wHat to say. Words cannot begin to describe this foolishness.
As a professional and certified meeting and event planner (and new mom) I can honestly say I am horrified by this behavior. And where was the half ass wedding planner who allowed this to happen? She doesn’t have the sense God gave the kardashians. Jesus is looking at God saying, ” why it happen.” And God replied, ” I got nothing for these fools.”
Miss carter all but said that Jesus was her wedding planner, so you know, it was sanctioned.
Lmao…
…sanctioned… by the Building Committee.
Her coordinator commented on one of the bride’s sanctified rants(yeah I’m nosy LOL) that she approved of this and that everyone should leave these wonderful people alone. Then she posted a link to some old Negroe spiritual type painting of a slave picking cotton with a baby attached to a sheet that she’s dragging while picking
*slaps own forehead in shame on behalf of all parties involved*
OH say it ain’t so…
This made me spit out water!
My Jesus did not stay on the cross for this ! No no no! Do not blame your foolishness and folly on Jesus lady. I hope the baby is OK (like was the dress well padded? I can see the baby having issues in life because of this)
I would have been the friend, auntie, cousin, relative’s plus one and whoever else causing a ruckus with the HELL NAWL I would have yelled as I body checked the bride while picking up that baby from the floor. I don’t have kids but I love them enough to have not let this here foolishness go on….
My first thought when you posted this pic last week was, ‘Where was Grandma?’ Cuz I don’t know any grandmama who would allow this asshattery to take place with her baby. No sir, no ma’am. No. If I were to take leave of my senses to even come up with the idea for this mess, my own late gran would have reached out from the Great Beyond to ‘cuff’ me in the forehead. My other gran, who is now confined to her bed would somehow find the strength to run me over with her wheelchair and my mother would rebuke me with the full force of the Holy Spirit. I know my sister would have karate chopped me in the th’oat and taken my child away. I can’t even see the most ratchet of mamas or grandmamas saying yes to this. They’re probably sitting up at the front of that church hanging their heads in shame at their girl’s silliness. Summagoat indeed.
My point exactly… my babies’ grandmothers & great grammies would have slapped me silly and took my baby from me, without a care in the world of my feelings.
GIRL! You win for summoning all the foremothers and their righteous anger at this foolishment! NOT NONE of my womanly ancestors or present circle of femininity would allow me to perform this massacre of good sense. They’d snatch that baby off the train and walk out en masse only to meet me in the parking lot to give me the Sister Circle Stompdown that I deserved. TUH!
sigh.
To answer question B. I’m guessing she attached tied the baby on with the umbilical cord in some kinda way. because yes, that child is really fresh out the womb.
Our ancestors did not perfect the art of wearing babies safely and securely on our backs over thousands of years for Sis. Carter-Brooks to have that child looking like a lost little angel from heaven that took a wrong turn at Cloud 66.
American women did not appropriate/discover/monetize-hell-out-of babywearing for Shona to be outchea actin’ like there were no options.
I am truly glad that the baby is alright.
And best wishes to the happy couple.
May their united stance against all this backlash, and their leanin and dependin on Jesus, strengthen their marriage and parenting skills for many years to keep.
*many years to come*
It’s hopeful that baby survived this asshattery. something tells me baby’s going to need all the survival skills baby can get.
Can she ask Jesus for some grammar and sentence structure?
Yes! I couldn’t make sense of the sad attempt at a response. I’m sad the child won’t have any homework help. Jesus needs to fix a lot of mess there. Amen.
So what happened when she reached the end of the aisle? Did the baby stay there for the whole wedding? When she walked out with the equally bright husband (and possible baby daddy), did they put the baby back on the train????
I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!
P.S. – Once again, thank you Americans for making me proud to be a Canadian!!
Oh trust it has nothing to do with being ‘American’…there is stupidity EVERYWHERE..oh and didn’t Bieber come from Canada? hmphf.
*sips tea and chuckles*
oh and didn’t Bieber come from Canada? hmphf.
<<<—gives the Phaedra Parks side-eye & head nod of approval
You right, you right! Got to admit he is one of ours … however, he didn’t act like that until he moved to the US … just saying!
Mayor Rob Ford.
Whew! It’s too bright… Let me step into that shade over there.
Right? This was the exact question running through my mind! Did she jump over the broom with the baby still back there? I swear this chick had to be suffering from postpartum depression. Having the baby ride the back of her train against his will looks like hella shade to me….or better yet child abuse.
Okay?! I would have been on the phone with DFACS while they were reciting their vows (which were probably just the lyrics to Dru Hill’s “This Is The Time”).
in their defense according to her fb rantings this was their “2nd wedding”…i figure they did the courthouse thing before the baby was born and then they did the “white wedding” post-birth…
I would still be having supervised visits with my baby over at my momma’s house if I even thought about something like this. June don’t play that mess and what my momma says goes.
I’m living for these comments!!!
Once child protective services finishes their investigation over at WillnJada’s house, I’mma need for them to head on out to Ripley and see about this child. #nochildleftbehind
I was JUST about to say that they’re overdue for a CPS visit. The entire US of A knows about their fuckery now. I know I’d be all OVER that hotline…during the ceremony.
Just FYI, CPS is still over at WillnJada’s house trying to figure that sh** out. Can we call someone else?
On the real, isn’t that baby’s head still soft? Why is she dragging her ONE MONTH OLD on the ground? What fool helped her attach her child so she can drag her/him on the ground? Who said, guuurlll, this gonna be dope! iCan’t.
That baby was too young to even go to daycare. Hot mess all around.
*Isn’t that baby’s head still soft?* LMAO. (You gon’ make me wet my pants.)
Can someone tell me why the Pastor did not tell them to get up out his church?!?
Do you SEE the face of the man at the end of the aisle?! I DIED! “THIS is some undisputed bullshit” is written all over his face.
So late but LMAO @ undisputed bullsh*t #classic
She ought to be ashamed. Bad grammar, bad behavior, bad choices. . . Jesus did not cosign this foolishness. But, hey- it was exclusive and epic, right?
2 words: Da H3ll????
The old adage says that God looks out for babies and fools. Clearly Shona and ‘nem want to keep the good Lord busy.
Ugh. I guess she is also, Too Late for Literacy, and Too Good for Grammar.
I declare and decree, this shall not be some new, Jump the Broom tradition! This ends here.
Oh, please. You just KNOW someone is going to add some velcrow to the back of their airbrushed wedding dress and make sure ALL her babies are attached. This unfortunate heffa has started an unfortunate trend for somebodies somewhere.
I wonder if the baby stayed on there the entire ceremony or if someone came up after she entered and unfastened then removed the poor child. When I first saw this photo I refused to believe it wasn’t Photoshopped. I remain speechless that someone could think of and defend this act. Wow.
Well Jesus does protect babies and fools…So i guess they was covered
– _ –
*shrug*
Shona would have been singing a different tune if the Pampers didn’t hold up.
Just call me bougie because I think attaching your baby to the train of your wedding gown is trifling x 1000.
Between this and the Drunk in Love lap dance debacle, our people need to do a better job of vetting wedding ideas.
I wonder if they used a baby doll at the rehearsal or if one of her home girls let her use their baby?!?
KDS i’m breaking up with you…..DEAD!
Did anyone else catch the shade of Vera Wang making no claims to the dress? iCackled
WHY?WHY?WHY? I dont understand. I want to go to heaven right now. Bc the man looking down at the baby on the floor being dragged is why im in church. Did they forget to tell me about a new planet in class that ppl live on, cuz i CANNOT wrap my mind around how one ‘thinking’ let me put a baby on my dress. When did this conversation go down
When you want to justify poor planning/decision making, people go to the “Jesus Defense”.
She did this out of VANITY!!!
ATTACHING YOUR ONE MONTH OLD BABY TO YOUR DRESS?!?!
When did babies/children become ACCESSORIES?!?!?!
This can’t be real life
For any other brides-to-be who might have made the mistake of seeing Mrs. Carter-Brooks as an inspiration, please see the following links:

Why black people, why? I noticed none of the links provided featured a black mother. Is it that us black people are always first in line and occupying the front rows in all the “Bad decisions” meetings?
Most black brides who are mothers have someone else to hold the baby for them… Sister Shona is exceptional.
Black women have been carrying babies on their back that way for centuries……. https://www.google.com/search?q=carrying+baby+on+back&espv=2&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=2tiNU_jxEY2lsATW9IG4Cw&ved=0CB8QsAQ&biw=1600&bih=775
Nope, this bad decision is 100% on Mrs. Shona Carter-Brooks
9-10 months in utero, 24-72 hours of labor and pushing through the birth canal just to be dragged down an aisle on a sheet of cheap tulle. the baby deserves better.
There are SOOOOOO many options she could have used a ring sling, a moby wrap, ergo, tula shoot even a scarf if she wanted to wear her baby down the aisle. And cost isn’t an issue. Age spent her money on a Vera wang( yes it’s a David’s bridal collection but I ain’t mad)
I just cannot with my people these days! First I must agree as Mother, Auntie, and Grandmother that mess? She is doing the most, pick that baby up! Now if that wasn’t enough having God cosign for this travesty? Girl naw Tooo many extras! Lastly it is not Too Bless to Mess, it’s BlessED please note the ED. I guess you were too busy in English class planning this ratchetness instead of learning sentence structure.
I bet Jesus wan’ none too pleased with that out of wedlock baby….Him don’t like the fornications.
What is really sad is that she is so ignorant on so many levels. Spelling, grammar, poor decisions, confusing being famous with being infamous, and then justifying it all with religion. I can’t. Time to get Luvvie’s shirt. Need a bumper sticker and a hat too.
and a handkerchief too. A big one I can just wave in the air when I truly am out of ables!
I wish the baby would have taken one of those big ole nasty runny baby shits right down the back of that dress. Mama Needs her chin checked for this.
HAAAA!! Yes, one of those mashed peas and squash dumps!
A breast milk poo.
So I have been lurking on her page, and this is the response from the wedding planner.
Kaye Jordon For everyone believing that the baby riding on the back of her mother’s wedding train, please take a look at the above painting by the great Annie Lee. This action has significant historical value and indicates the dedication of her mother (and father) toward caring for her child and family. We, throughout history have worked hard to do whatever necessary to take care of our own. A GOOD mother takes her child wherever she goes, even down the aisle. Oh, and by the way, the event was the couple’s SECOND wedding, not the first. This was simply the culmination of a dream deferred! Find the individuals blowing smoke into the face of an infant or those allowing children to hold weapons, and, let us not forget the child arguing with his mother while calling her by her first name! Most of the comments are from individuals who do not know, nor will ever meet this couple. I happen to know them both. In fact, for the gentleman who believed that the coordinator needs her butt beat, I was the coordinator and I remain intact! The wedding was beautiful, the decorations both beautiful and unique (I did those too). and the entire event and day was flawless! Too bad those with negative comments have so little to do that they indulge in making disparaging comments about people you don’t know! Could it be that you have nothing in your lives to occupy your time and space? Taking a picture from a beautiful, God sanctified event and turning it into a media circus is despicable. Why not find another activity to waste your time on? Leave these two alone, and THAT was directly from my heart!

they obviously don’t know how fragile babies are. A one-month old baby really can’t attend a wedding because she would have about 20 percent of her immunization at that point. I hope the baby does not become fatally ill after this indecent exposure. Can’t believe she thinks they are home free, hospital bills, sleepless nights and therapy in the near future.
And masters found a way to justify slavery too, but that sure as sugar didn’t make it right. Have a \_ ma’am.
“A GOOD mother takes her child wherever she goes, even down the aisle.”
No, not really, and certainly not like that. Thank you for playing, Kaye Jordon, and for your parting gift, please enjoy this Ratchet Dream Wedding Home Game and six gallons of Thug Passion Punch, made with real Alizé Red!
Vera Wang need to issue a press release rebuking this foolishness. Nothing says I love you like putting your newborn on the ground and dragging it 10ft on a bed of tulle. If she wanted to be special why not get a old fashioned baby buggy and bling it our, or put down that hideous black bouquet and carry the child instead?
Vera Wang is already on it, they’ve already released a statement saying they didn’t design the dress the woman is wearing, not even in the Vera Wang for David’s Bridal line. So basically old girl either lied or got lied to when she bought the dress. Either way, a mess.
really? You have a link?
http://www.buzzfeed.com/rachelzarrell/a-bride-actually-tied-her-newborn-baby-to-her-wedding-dress?s=mobile
See the second update at the end — Vera Wang apparently reached out to BuzzFeed and said that the dress was not part of any of their collections.
What about this child when it gets older (that is if the child is still with this family,due to CPS swooping in) and the are the wedding photographs on every day. Wall of him/her being dragged along for the ride.. Someone is going to need therapy *watch for it*
I don’t know if I am more disgusted at the bride for being so belligerent and ignorant or at the friends and family who co-signed this mess. Where were the older women in the family? I can’t see a grandmother or auntie not speaking up on this foolishness when it was still in the planning stages. And then to bring in all this faux religiosity talking about being covered in the blood of the lamb to cover this nonsense. It’s a wonder she didn’t break out typing in tongues like prophetess Bynum.
now see, i think this could be the start of a new trend in bridal accessories,(especially with the amount of babies born before the nuptials…) ‘THE BABY POUCH!’ bedazzle and bejewel that sucker and strap it right on to the beautiful brides train! for an extra couple of dollars we can include a cleverly hidden pocket to store a couple of bottles and extra diapers and wipes. see, most of ya’ll are seein tacky and stuff…i’m seein $$$!
http://www.incompetentpictures.com/sitefiles/Racial%20Draft.jpg
First round draft pick.
This is not cute.
I am cracking up at how the old man is looking at that bab, wishing he could help.
I motion that she acquires several seats in China. That way she’s only allowed to have one child. Poor child has fools for parents
Yes! Lol. Me thinks the ring bearer/ flower girl was probably their son/daughter..we’re probably too late.
I really thought that this had to be a doll b/c NO ONE in their right mind would do some nonsense like this. But this I read her response and realized, she has no sense. She may think that they can do what they want, when they want, but I guarantee that Child Protective Services will be paying them a visit. I’m unable to can!
You called that ratchet dumpster duck a “summagoat.” I iz through…
Somebody call Family Services and Big Granmama! Lawd! #TakeMeNow
Throw mama from the train. Do it, baby.
After I finished screaming and praying for that poor child, I thanked the Good Lord that I don’t know anyone that stupid.
I would have stopped her and taken that baby. “Nah boo. Give me the baby. GIVE.ME.THE.BABY.”
And I thought Oberyn’s death rendered me unable to can…
The designer had a picture of it on Instagram this morning. I thought it was a doll. Price was $599. She has taken it down now. Guess it was too much negative publicity. #HelpJesus
To the ‘wedding planner’ who seems to think that ‘ery one here and who has commented all over the world have nothing better do/say about a bride and Groom who thought it was perfectly acceptable to drag a 1 month old baby down the aisle on the back of a wedding train should not be allow to plan a cat’s funeral, let alone a wedding. Whether it was their first, second or 19th wedding, you can’t fix anyone’s mouth to say that this behavior was “acceptable”. If you had something to do with that, then shame on you. If the Tennessee Department of Child Services doesn’t come for every member of the bridal party, I’d be surprised. There were so MANY other ways to incorporate that infant OTHER THAN the back of her/his momma’s gown.
Now, before you start quote scripture and bring Jesus & the Lord into such foolishness, please be aware that the members of the Internet Universe (and Luvie’s Nation) did not do this tomfoolery, YOU GUYS DID. So don’t come bring the bible to justify your lack of taste, common sense and team poor decisions into this mess here.
The Lord God, Jesus, Buddha and the saints didn’t sanction ANY of that fragility mess right here. and please don’t play Art Historian on Annie Lee’s pictures… just don’t…you not qualified for that….Ms. Lee ain’t no bridesmaid in this wedding here…
Good mothers & father’s don’t drag their child down on the back of a wedding train.. they just don’t.
and yes, we got wayyy more things to do (like reading Luvie’s recaps of Scandal, True Blood & GoT) than to have to shake our heads to get the vision of that baby on the back of that dress out of our minds….
p.s. you made it our activity when you coordinated this tomfoolery and posted it on facebook…the internet never forgets.
ALL. OF. THIS.
I second
I must cosign AND tangent on all of this regarding this so called “wedding planner” (AIR QUOTES). Why didn’t she suggest getting pretty little wagon or stroller decorated with flowers and have an honored guest roll the baby down aisle? THAT would have made for beautiful photos too, but noooo Shay Shay an ‘nem always gotta be ‘different’, huh? After my wedding, the hem of my dress was dirty by the time I made it to the reception because floors, even in a church, are dusty and DIRTY. She’s a complete lunatic for encouraging her client and most likely she’s the one that pinned the baby onto the dress for her.
LMAO @ cosign & tangent. ^5
I wish I could *LIKE* this comment 10,000 times
Jesus is somewhere shaking His head saying, “Nooooooo….I wasn’t ready….”
He’s coming back soon. This is proof. Tomfoolery at its best.
To the wedding planner who sanctioned this, how about a child endangerment charge? One loose tack, or pin puncturing this child’s body; the dirt and dust and germs the child was exposed to from the carpet: the people at the wedding passing around a month old infant all of this could contribute to this child having health problems.
Big Mama knew what she was doing when she wouldn’t let a mother or a newborn out of the house before six weeks.
Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. Think about the impact on your child. This was a second and probably unnecessary ceremony.
Don’t mix God up in your mess, be woman enough to own your ish. Everybody makes mistakes. Just don’t involve this child next time.
She’s special! What in the world was she thinking? Baby scared to death, wondering what did they do to deserve a backrow seat at the wedding. And the guy in the black praying for baby’s safety, saying “this too shall pass.”
I love how you knew this was your duty, Luvvie.
ASAPtually? You jes cain’t say stuff like that until my T-shirt gets here. Jes STAHP… Unable to Can…
giving the “Souf” a bad name…..one tragic wedding at a time….sigh…we got to do better as a people…because…I just can’t
So she gone throw Jesus at folks…really? So she living God’s way but she got a newborn at her WEDDING. So she embraces all of Jesus but not the part about not laying down and sexing before a man is your husband? ion care if she fugged more men than kim k, but don’t throw Jesus into your fuqqery and shenanigans when you laid your living outside if HIS word evidence on the train of yo wedding dress! O_o I know none of us are without sin but don’t bring my copper skinned lamb’s wool hair having Jesus into this mess. She better take that shit to that brad pitt looking Jesus.
Again to quote my Auntie…they should have never given some folks freedom!
*passing the collection plate* You betta preach!!
Girl….you said exactly what I was thinking. No need for me to write a separate post lol.
But for seriously, though. You busy playing Bible Thumper forgetting totally that you had not one, but TWO children out of wedlock…
Then there’s the wedding coordinator trying to throw in Annie Lee. Ma’am, the only reason why slaves carried their babies like that was because they HAD NO OTHER CHOICE! Slaves had to pick cotton AND watch the babies they just popped out. Massa cared about profit, not about a Black newborn…Have all the seats!
Jesus said He didn’t sign the approval letter for this. He told me so…
AMEN!
PREACH!! “..don’t throw Jesus into your fuqqery and shenanigans when you laid your living outside if HIS word evidence on the train of yo wedding dress! I got my JC goosebumps with that one FYAH!!
#droppin$20
What happened to the baby while she turned around to face the congregation? I can only hope he didn’t get twisted and tangled. Did she drag the baby around at the reception too? Yes…Fix it Jesus… and please find this baby some dignity!
-__- <— the face Jesus made when He read her response.
You're not even supposed to put your purse on the floor, but you dragged a baby across it?!
Her righteous indignation is what really bubbles my bologna (you know how it rises when you fry it? LOL!) And this statement: "Thank God we aint no celebrities oops got fans, guess we is!"
You lose at life, ma'am.
LOL!!!
“Bubbles my bologna”!!! I like that!
She’s all in the clouds, though…mistaking opinionated folks for fans. XD
Girlfriend can write all the angry paragraphs in the world, and my feelings are just fine…but the marbles are missing from the bag. Grandpa know the marbles are missing. Look at his face, lol!! She claimed that it was all okay and she gon’ do what she wanna, and that’s great. But it was a bad look all around. In all that planning to be “different”, there were a milly other ways she could have included the little one.
I have a psychology professor who would have a field day with this little picture, and would probably bring up some layers about motherhood she wasn’t ready for. Honey….
Chile, she probably never had the bag to hold the marbles in the first place, LOL!
Um. 3 words…. Child Protective Services. Just plain dumb. D. U. M. B. I’m so through with attention seeking ignant folks. Sigh. I’m done…
I love Christians who use Jesus as their “Get Out of Jail Free Card.”
*stands and cheers!*
Also? #teambaddecisions should be your next t shirt….I’d buy it!
elisabeth
IDK why the baby was behind her. It clearly came before the marriage so it should have been all up in the frontsies. You know what…I just cant deal with Shona nem no more. I quit
If she had any real sense and was truly blessed and wanted to honour her baby, she could’ve had the baby christened as part of her ceremony. Instead she chose to dishonour and endanger her newborn in the name of being unique. That whole church should be brought up on child endangerment charges. If you didn’t object to it, then you condone it.
If Sofia could hold her baby while she married Harpo, there ain’t no reason why this guttersnipe couldn’t do the same.
Here it is, folks: THE ONLY COMMENT THAT MATTERS!
You win a lifetime supply of Interwebs
Teri Howard we go together!!! Yes and Amen!
Ok everyone I am feeling very very old after seeing this mess, I mean pic. I am 49 and from a generation where the bride wore white as an expression of her virtue and that is a modern take on wearing white. Of course the traditional concept is about virginity. Now I understand these are different times we are living in and sex before marriage is acceptable behavior. Besides I am not trying to be te morality police. However the irony of wearing a white wedding dress and dragging your new baby on your train is absolutely mind blowing. I am saying this because if I had been (heaven forbid) at this wedding I would have literally been in shock to see this travesty unfold. Also the scene I would have made after I recovered would have been the subject of social media debate.
My dear Luvvie I just love your takes and everyone who comments on these foolish choices.
Actually, the white wedding dress tradition arose because Queen Victoria wore one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_wedding#History_of_the_white_dress). Before that, women wore a variety of colors, depending on preference and trend. White caught on amongst rich people as a way to show their wealth (similar to purple cloth back in the day). Society didn’t begin to equate white dresses with purity until after they had caught on as a wedding tradition.
THANK. YOU.
All this information on the webs has been around to long for people not to know this.
According to the mother, the child was “covered by Christ”
…so…
there’s that
(._. )
yes, Jesus was there, he looks out for babies and fools, so if you are a baby of a fool Jesus stays close by all the time. I still need an answer for why she did this because there are so many other options for her, I can only think that she has no friends, and her family hates her.
This is what happens when you limit your “village” to only like minded people. No one is there to call you on your crap!
So, the wedding planner thinks because a woman picked cotton for half a living back in the day and likely had no choice but to bring her baby along because there was no on-site daycare for sharecroppers, that means this chick should put her one month old on a wedding dress and drag the baby down the aisle? The ass-backwardness of the folks trying to defend this mess is astounding. And I don’t care if the couple was married that day or last century, it still makes no sense to drag your child down the aisle. Ever. At all. For any reason.
Maybe if Mrs. I’mcoveredinthebloodofJesus had wrapped herself in HIM instead of her boo, she wouldn’t have had a baby to drag down the aisle. People kill me using Jesus when it’s convenient for them. Where was her bible when she and the Mr. were making the attachment to her train?
I was expecting a “Who’s sister is this?” title…
I went on her fb page yesterday…i don’t know if she’s had the good sense to make her page private yet, but she has support from friends, family, and yes her wedding planner helped her pull this off. The wedding planner even said it was biblical or something. One of her friends even said she would like to do this when her wedding comes up because it was so different, unique, and refreshing. I don’t know what communal drugs they drinking but it must be good.
Did the dad really know? Because maybe (I can only imagine) this was some little surprise waiting for him. God Bless the child where two parents were in agreement on this.
And if you have to ‘splain several times to people the foolery (“No, the baby will be attached. C’mon. We covered in the blood it’s gonna be cute!”) then it.is.not.cute! I can’t imagine she only explained this cockamaimeed scheme once to people. (“My baby will be attached to my TRAIN! Yes, on the floor. G’uh!”)
This shows she don’t have any judgement in doing what is best for this baby. It’s just a possession to do with what she wants. It makes me fear for this child. They better cue the Child Protective Agency cause this seems like a future case.
Guess she don’t think much of her child to drag her on the floor as if there is nothing wrong. Makes me wonder how she was raised. Looks like she resented the child. We seriously has black people need some major healing. I think she lost her mind. Just can’t think of anything funny, I am just shocked. She is definitely not in her right mind.
I don’t see anything funny either.
Wedding something special but boy, in the opinion of failure
Great Halloween costume idea? Or nah?
I see nothing funny here. A one month old is so delicate and it still thinks its in the womb. A baby that young still needs the warmth of another body. She put that baby in serious danger. People have had a visit from CPS for less. She should not have the privilege of motherhood.
[…] course, there’s the bride who decided to strap her baby to the back of her wedding dress. When criticized about it, she told us “we do what we want when we want long as Jesus on our […]
I peeped the older dude in black with the glasses right after I saw the foolery on the gown. He looking like “Lawd they done gone & fastened that bebby (cuz he looks like he’d say bebby insteada baby) to the back uh da dress…mmm mmm mmm”
Some people are just CRAZY! Do you imagine if their baby at gotten hurt and they had to go to the hospital? What would they have said to the doctor? Oh my baby got injured because I stuck him to the train of my wedding dress. Please do something for him…Booo, booo, booo, booo. The girl and her husband need a brabd new brain.
