Shona Carter-Brooks was dressed in the picturesque storybook gown of her dreams for her special day last weekend. To complete the picture, sat her 1-month-old daughter on the train of the dress and walk down the aisle to marry her husband, Johnathan Brooks at Elam Baptist Church in Ripley, TN.
Not long after the footage went viral, a flurry of commenters voiced their disgust in the act, which some outlets dubbed, “Another Wedding WTF,” writing:
“That poor child born to 2 supreme idiots.”
“Lol, if she wanted to include the baby, why not just carry the child and hold her during the ceremony?”
“They’re doing too much,” said another.
So far, there have been no reports of injury to the couple’s young daughter.
Carter-Brooks is standing firm in her actions, writing the following message via Facebook on Friday:
“FB family & friends we are outstanding! See we not weary in well doing, for in due season this too shall pass!
We rejoicing for we’re too driven to be drowned, victorious to be defeated, and content for God is able! We love you all for your support, love, and encouraging words.”
No doubt the child will have many well-documented memories of her parents’ wedding in years to come!
