Something old, something new, something borrowed and something ... you should never do?
A Tennessee bride has defended her curious decision to strap her newborn daughter into the train of her wedding dress as she walked down the aisle, saying the baby was 'awake and well-secured' and that she was 'covered by Christ'.
Shona Carter-Brooks has been attacked online for the bizarre bridal party moment following her marriage to Johnathan Brooks in Ripley last month, with some commentators arguing she should be reported to child protection services.
The couple, who live in Jackson, just outside of Nashville, are believed to have only welcomed their little girl, Aubrey, one month before the ceremony.
The dress appears to have been altered to allow for the child.
Criticisms of the act ranged from 'classless' to 'incredibly dangerous', which many saying the child could have suffered carpet burn from being dragged along the floor of the Elam Baptist Church in Ripley.
'I am sorry but if I would have saw that I would have gotten out of my seat and taken that baby. That is truly dumb,' complained one person on the website Clutch.
However Carter-Brooks hit back at her critics in two elaborate posts on her Facebook page, saying she does not regret the decision.
'People questioning what we do, commenting all negative, and just doing the most,' she wrote.
'We good though we covered by the Blood which never loose its power.
'So to the media, radio, news, and whomever else wanting to talk about what WE do here you go:
'Media Media I see how it works regardless the situation or purpose people gone (sic) have something negative to say!
'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.'
The bride's second post maintained that her daughter was in no danger.
'Our 1 month old was awake and well secured on my train,' Carter-Brooks wrote.
'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 (sic) way from small town Ripley, TN and the social media doing what they do, TALK!!!!........Dailymail
*wow!!!!..i am shocked.
Not everyone is mentally fit to be a parent.
ReplyDeleteApart from it being dangerous, it's so barbaric and unheard of, totally uncalled for. Gosh! I feel like slapping this woman, WTF!!!
DeleteAnd what does she mean by, covered with Christ! Hian!!! *angrymuch*
She's not fit to be a mother, arant nonsense. People shld stop calling the name of Jesus in vain. And the "Black bouquet", WTF!
DeleteShe should have dressed the baby up in a flower like manner and propped/ carried her like a bouquet instead of this stunt she pulled.
DeleteStrange news everyday!
Hahahahaha
DeleteStella Asemota, uv cracked my ribs wella with dat comment. But e for make sense pass oh.
Am imagining d scenario already. Lmao
I love u sha Stella Asemota
Love you too Miss Gemini.

Absolute madness! What was that for?
ReplyDeleteTheir cup of tea,I would never endanger ma precious child that way.Maybe that's what's gonna turn them on,when they are having their wedding night sex,who knows.The world we live in is filled with drama.smh

U r not serious
DeletePattogar n linda eze, funny pp
DeleteLmao.. Irene,won't you leave patt alone? This one wey she answer you,I surprise sef.. Patt Patt, daalu nu o!
DeleteMy own is what was her Motive? There was no Child Miner* to leave her with? And WTH is her bouquet or whatever she's holding Black?
ReplyDeletePeople really need to stop misusing the Precious Blood of Jesus.
Was she aware of the power of the blood of Jesus before or after the child was conceived? That baby was born a month before the church wedding, I find it laughable that she can be so vocal and reliant on a Biblical principle while completely disregarding another Biblical principle. What I find disturbing, apart from the obvious rape on spoken/written English, is that her family and friends just watched as she walked down the aisle with a living and fragile "appendage"! Wow! I wonder where she found an equally clueless individual to strap the baby to her gown! You mean she actually got out of the car and waited for the attachment of her baby before entering the church? Or the poor angel's fate was already sealed in car on their way to church? Ohhhhh! This is wrong on so many levels! Postpartem depression, perhaps? Poor baby.
DeleteI thought "stupid" was what white people did? Child services should take the child for her. She's not fit to be a mother. All this probably for 5 minutes of fame? KMT!
ReplyDelete#Sexyback#
And SDK where did u go yesterday, I refreshed and refreshed, it's not fair.
ReplyDeleteJezzz...who does this?

DeleteNow tell me who does that? You have to be seriously screwed up upstairs to do a thing like that!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I wonder how one could think up such a thing........so u no fit trust person 2 carry your pikin? .......I think this should go into the guiness book of records, afterall, no be only good things dey that book. This could pass for weirdest act of the year.......that child could have been badly injured, what if the bribe had 2 climb a flight of stairs.....nah nah! .....this one no fit be maternal instinct o
ReplyDeleteBitch pls. If u where holy as u claim u shouldn't have gotten yourself into fornication in the 1st place. Leave the blood of Jesus out of this. You are 1 sick person. Couldn't u have put in baby in a stroller n drag it with your train. Social services, pls save ds child from this lunatic. Oloriburuku ashewo.

Hmmm, when women they find pickins dis one carry her own dey do jangolova! I no blame her o! She probably just sneezed and found herself pregnant!
ReplyDeleteThat woman should be behind bars in an asylum. To think people in the wedding saw this and had the mind to sit through the wedding without taking off that child..a one month old for that matter!
ReplyDeleteEven mad and wicked people call the name of Jesus when defending their evil acts
Crazy bride!
ReplyDeleteStupid groom!!
Mad couple!!!!!!!
CeeCee
When I read the story in another blog I kinda find it funny,and then again I saw different shades of crasy with the woman.oh well all malam with him kettle. EVE E UME
ReplyDeleteMad people everywhere.I won't try that with someone's precious child talk more of my own.
ReplyDeleteAla di na udi n'udi asin eh....

or baby cot with wheel
U see.. i get better idea pass u
Not cool at all! Her intention m sure was good buh Hey dis screams 'degrading"dragging à baby wil never be justified.
ReplyDeleteSerious guys, what can be more STUPID than this????
ReplyDeleteI think she is just trying to be different doing what no one has done before. I just wonder why no one (including the people that attend the wedding) has call social service yet. As soon as see her walking down, I would have walk out of the church and anonymously alert the local authority.
ReplyDeleteI f she had waited 10 or so years to have that child, she would probably have cherished her more.
Child Services should pay her a visit. She's MAD!How can she drag a baby on the floor like that. Anuofia!

Pepper on the move!
And carrying the baby in her arms instead of her bouquet was...? That child need more than Jesus to cover her, she needs the entire angelic host and every essence of God.
ReplyDeleteWhose idea was this,the person should be flogged with better Hausa koboko,ndi ala
ReplyDeleteBlack people do some stupid sh*t. If she wanted the baby to walk down the isle with her she should have carried her.
ReplyDeleteDis lady is mad I guess my precious child? Like this? No ways
