From HuffPo, of course. Because what better way to leave behind an artifact you find traumatizing than to spend 7 months wearing it? Tattoos, FUPAs, and epic attention whoring follow -

Quote:When Dayna Rumfelt’s marriage ended after eight years in 2014, she knew she didn’t want her wedding dress just hanging around the house. Her plan of action to rid herself of it? Operation Destroy The Dress.

With the help of friends and family, the 35-year-old set out to put the gown through utter hell for the better part of seven months, dragging it through mud, taking it onto the paintball battleground, and eventually burning the damn thing in a huge bonfire.

"It felt so freeing," the Wasilla, Alaska resident told The Huffington Post. "For a long time after my divorce, I felt like I had a monkey on my back dragging me down into the mud. When the dress adventure began, I started to feel that less and less."

The first stop was a roller derby fundraiser; Rumfelt is a major roller derby girl.

Then the ex-bride repurposed the dress while serving as bench manager at a Rage City Rollergirls roller derby game. "I benched with Spenard Itch, who is adorable," Rumfelt said. "She even found a suit to wear so we could match."

"Ooooh, time-out! For a moment people started to pay more attention to the game than the girl in a wedding dress playing in it!"

From there, Rumfelt and Laura Burns, a close derby friend also going through a divorce, gave their gowns a good soaking in the Reed Lakes.

"Jumping into a lake doesn't screw your dress up quite like you'd expect," Rumfelt said. "It's funny how when you're getting married your wedding dress seems so fragile, but really when it comes down to it, those suckers are tough as nails. Outside of the smell, once the dress dried, it was fine."

But "fine" was definitely not the state Rumfelt wanted the gown to be in. When a local photographer asked Rumfelt if she'd be up to participating in a trash the dress photo shoot, she jumped at the chance. Here's one of the most dramatic shots:

"Now give me 'Blue Steel.'"

Quote:The photos are beautiful, but the plan was to destroy the dress. For the most part, the gown looked no worse for wear. "It was even more surprising than the lake not messing up my dress," Rumfelt said. "The majority of the silt and mud washed out of the dress."

Next, Rumfelt, threw the "damn dress in the washing machine" and rounded up her family for a day of paint-balling.

"Oh, we're not through. There's more attention to be wrung out of you yet!"

"I wish I had a picture from the end of the day because I literally slid baseball-style through a pile of paint balls and was covered with the funk," Rumfelt recalled.

At this point, a still undeterred Rumfelt toyed with the idea of water skiing and sky diving in the dress, but a busy work schedule got in the way. "Eventually, I just wanted the dress out of my house for good," she said. "It was like a black cloud and I didn't want to take it with me into the next chapter of my life."

The gown's final send-off involved Rumfelt simply setting fire to it in a backyard bonefire while a photographer friend snapped a few photos.

"I felt such a sense of relief watching it burn," Rumfelt said. "Almost all my negative energy had transferred to the dress over time and it had made me so sad to see it. I slept really well the night of the bonfire. The dress just had to go."

Roller derby? Color me surprised /s

With those tats and that nasty fatarm flex (everyone's got room for jello), combined with the soiled white gown (white, yeah, I'm sure she married a virgin at 27), I bet that dress is a surrogate for her other, erm, "features".

Ya she isn't or fucked in the head or anything like that. Just a normal mentally healthy woman.

WB the slut on the bottom of the chair upside down...despite her fat arms her "I'd do anything, including finding other girls for 3somes" vibe would be enough to text her on a weeknight.

This is women in their natural state. They need a man to keep them in line or they turn back into this

Marriage and all it stands for is so dead it is breathtaking. Women are now fully trained to size a man up for resources and exploit him till he is dry and then toss him like litter. Im glad I got married over 20 years ago. I had a good run and got some great kids out of it. This new generation of millenials is fucked. Completely fucked.

Post: #8

Let's be honest, most women wearing a white (for virginal) wedding dress these days are lying, but this one adds disgusting tatts for good measure. Narcissistic, solipsistic waste of sperm and egg.

Post: #9

Let's see what we have here..

1. Stable of moo cow barnyard friends. Only one looks within reasonable weight range but still not bangable.

2. Insipid hipster tattoos on flabby arms.

3. Quirky poses for facebook, pop media, and instagram consumption.

4. Token minority friend who is also fat and stupid looking.

5. Try hard masculine poses and trying to be edgy with mud, paintball, etc..

If I was a simp I got a feeling that the contempt for those pictures would be enough to wake me up to realize what this is all about: Pure and simple Exploitation!! And damn these women look like NFL Linebackers scabs! Shit

Post: #11

I'm not sure this can be considered a woman. More like a whaling cow chimera.

Went to the original article and found that Huffington Post literally has a 'Divorce' section, like its the sports or business page. Serves me right giving them a click, but surely that has to represent a new low.

The bridegroom of the modern marriage should be wearing a suit a few shades lighter than the modern woman - lambskin in fact.

Whats with the jailhouse tattoos?

Now, if she only paid her husband to be the same amount of attention she paid that dress...

I know the alimony is probably wrecking her ex-husband now, but he should still count himself very lucky to not have to spend time in the presence of this monstrosity anymore.

What does this "bride" and the last one who soiled her wedding dress in protest have in common?

The dress still fits. They beat the odds and haven't put any weight on since the big day...

That's because western women don't even bother to crash-diet for the wedding photographer any more.

Once the point? A willing simp is a dime-a-dozen.

When you see a dating profile on a girl and she says she's "passionate", this is the kind of stuff she's passionate about: drawing attention to herself, being borderline insane, and leaving a wake of disposable simps behind her.

Just think...If she put this much time and energy into ruining this stupid dress, imagine the amount of hell she put her husband through.

My point exactly.

Marry a fat woman and end up divorced from a fat crazy woman.

A slight correction if I may.

Marry a fat woman and end up divorced from a much fatter, much crazier woman.

That is the mind blowing part. She could probably find another guy to marry her. I mean Amanda Knox turned into a fat lesbian and she is still getting married.

She spent so much time doing this whole stupid social media campaign because the real problem was too hard to confront. Obsessing over showing the world how much her divorce doesn't bother her is the easy way out.

Fifty years ago a woman like this would have married a low status beta with a low pay but steady job, put up with his amateurish attempts at humor, made him a sandwich when he asked, laid still for sex two minutes a week, and thanked God for it.

Today's divorcee grew up hearing how great she was, how she could do anything, you go grrl, you deserve the best, you're hot and it's their fault if they don't agree. She married a low status chump and instead of being grateful that at least one man would fall on the grenade she must have broken his balls relentlessly.

When the end came she could confront the cold hard reality that a life of empowered propaganda can't trump her objectively low SMV or she could make real sure the whole world knows just how much she doesn't care for months on end. She has to prove it to herself even more than she has to prove it to the world. In her own way she's just as much a victim of extremist feminist bullshit as she is a perpetrator.

A little pop psychology here. But of course she cares. She will always care. To not care is not to be attached and she will always be attached to this event. They will bring it up at parties. He fake and fat (was going to say fake fat friends but we know that isn't fake fat) friends are going to tell her how inspirational it was blah blah. While all the same time thanking God quietly that they are not the total train wreck she is. Women can see the fucked up in others, they just can't see it themselves.
