I thought the tradition was to pass the gown down to your daughter?

I never heard that women traditionally saved the wedding gowns for future weddings, and what about getting older and middle aged spread?

This new weird thing, doesn’t make much sense.

I’m with you, sounds like an odd and wasteful tradition which in some cases could prove dangerous if not downright deadly as it did in this case. Poor woman. I googled “new tradition trash the wedding dress” and wow seems in these days of abundance no one wants to wear someone else’s “old” wedding dress, even if it belonged to a family member. I’m betting it was some silly photographers “artistic” idea, after all they didn’t spend the cash on the dress.

Same here.

I had to show this to my wife. I didn't know about this tradition, but my wife is 6' tall, and our youngest and fully grown daughter is 4'11" tall. Definitely got a giggle.

This has been going on for a few years. It is a stupid thing. I think it screams “look at us, we have so much money we can trash a dress that we paid thousands for just last week.”
