It is unlikely that the bride expected that her festive photo session would be decorated with such an unusual accessory.
This picture literally blew up social networks: if usually the photos on the page of Amber Fletcher gained several dozen likes, then here the account went to thousands. Reposts and comments poured in as if from a bucket, although at first glance there is nothing special in the picture: the bride and her five bridesmaids are posing in a pine forest. But if you look closely, you will notice one unusual detail.
It turns out that one of the bridesmaids, a girl named Allison, recently became a mother and was breastfeeding her baby. But this is not a reason to miss the wedding of your beloved friend, is it? Allison armed herself with a breast pump and went to the party.
While the photographer was filming the men – the groom and his friends, the girls chatted while waiting for their turn. Allison decided to take a moment to express her milk. But … did not have time to bring the matter to the end. When the photographer pointed the lens at the girls, Allison was still busy pumping. But this did not stop Amber from taking a picture: Allison’s breasts were simply covered with a towel, but the bottles of milk are still visible.
“I always take a photo at weddings, stylized as the cover of the Bridesmaids movie. And it seemed to me that such a picture would ideally show the reality of a particular day, how a wedding looks like for a bridesmaid who is breastfeeding. Anyway, it’s just funny, ”explained Amber.
As the photographer admitted, both girls were embarrassed: both the bride and her girlfriend. But not for long: both thought that the picture turned out to be special.
“There is nothing wrong with breastfeeding. We both advocate that breastfeeding is no longer shameful, ”says Rachel, the fiancée.
And Amber’s subscribers seemed to like the photo even more than the girls. “It’s great that the bride was so supportive of her friend. I wish I had such friends, ”they write in the comments and recall stories when brides behaved exactly the opposite – throwing tantrums with screams about a ruined wedding.
Interview
How do you like the idea of the photo?
Very nice in my opinion. This is not the only snapshot from the wedding.
Respect to the bride for not being shy.
In my opinion, overkill. You could have waited until the girl finished pumping.
I believe that breastfeeding and pumping should be somewhere in a secluded place, and not in plain sight. Especially not on camera.
