Shocking: Bride Straps Newborn to Gown, Drags Her Down the Aisle
www.bridalguide.com/blogs/bridal-buzz/bride-straps-baby-to-wedding-gown Again... WTF were these people thinking? Is this a cultural thing? Because I don't know any white women that would drag their one month old infant along the floor just for show. If it was that important for the baby to be part of the wedding ensemble she could have just as easily been strapped to the bride or groom's back. This is child endangerment and appalling to me!

 Uh, what does the bride's race have to do with anything?
Can you name any other case in which such a thing occurred? |

Can you name any other case in which such a thing occurred? The bride is African American I presume. And NO I can't. That's why I'm asking if it's a cultural practice among black families. It wouldn't matter to me if she had been a white, Asian, or Mexican woman though. Any woman who thinks its cool to drag her one month old baby across the floor like she's a rag doll needs some serious parenting skills education! 
Keep in mind how many times they must have practiced this walk to position the baby where they wanted it.

Let me make this simple. No, what that bride did has nothing to do with her racial/ethnic background. What happened was an act of personal stupidity. |

I didn't mean to be offensive toward black people, David. I asked a legitimate question. There are a lot of black people at the church looking down at the baby being dragged behind its parents. And from the way the article is written nobody seemed to have a problem with it. So I naturally assumed that perhaps the majority of black people would do the same thing themselves. |

I guess they couldn't find a sitter.
To me it seems to be simply an attention seeking stunt, with a hint of stupidity. A reaaaaally big hint. |

I guess I'm just an over-protective female. And seeing this baby being compromised in this way makes me so

Can't rule out tribal cultural thing.
Did the bride wear white?

If you read the story's "Comments" section, then you will see that African-Americans are appalled by what that bride did, and several African-Americans believe that the baby should be taken away from the bride.. I have to admit that all I could read after seeing the picture was the following: Mom Shona Carter-Brooks took to Facebook to defend her and her husband Johnathan Brooks' controversial decision, stating that "The answer is we do what we want, when we want, as long as Jesus on our side everything worked out fine and gona [sic] continue to be fine" and the infant was "awake and well secured on my train." The newlyweds' wedding coordinator, Kaye Jordan, commented that the choice to strap their newborn to the dress has significant historical value: "It indicates the dedication of her mother (and father) toward caring for her child and family...A GOOD mother takes her child wherever she goes, even down the aisle." One guest, Pamela Stone, wrote that the moment even "brought tears to my eyes." My stomach immediately knotted up and I saw RED! |

Thanks for this link, David... I especially agree with the following comment that was posted about it... Not to go all medical on you guys, but, I will say that the risk of opportunistic infections, sicknesses & diseases skyrocketed out of the earth for that baby, on that day. This is extremely irresponsible to do PERIOD, much more to a newborn. God forbid, but she is liable if her baby becomes very sick. They are medically extremely vulnerable at this stage. This mother should be strapped to a freakin' dress and dragged up and down the aisle too, then she'd see how cool it would be then! |

Rumor has it, if the groom ain't the baby's Daddy, da ho can wear white.

I used to think this was strange and dangerous too (choking?)
but, they are INDIVIDUAL decisions and though I would do neither, they certainly don't cause me to freak out either,, to each their own,,, |

Yes, I can see your point.
Leashing children to keep them near and with limited range of motion as apposed to gripping onto their hands as they try to pull away or walk off alone does seem to be a strange compromise. While allowing small children who have a tendency to put things in their mouths crawl around investigating could possibly put them in harms way anywhere and everyday. Hopefully this mother had her eyes directly on her child so she could quickly retrieve anything that might be swallowed. I personally wouldn't risk injury to my child in this type of situation either. But as I've already said, I'm over-protective to begin with. |

speaking of irony and yes the whole thing is pretty stupid and the bride probably needs to be monitored by child services |
