Bride's Bouquet Brings Down Plane

And that folks, is why I don't skydive.

Serves them right for being ridiculously excessive.

So what does tradition say about a bouquet that is not caught, but is instead sucked into the engine of a plane? Will none of the women get married? Will the marriage end in a divorce? It makes worrying about a ceiling fan seem pitiful.

That's why you don't skydive? I was going to say the only thing you should ever fling off an airplane is yourself. There's a method to that madness, not this tripe. This is a tale of Italian extravagance, and nothing at all to do with the joy of skydiving. Just for the record, Him, when you jump, you're behind the engines on the plane.

Beats me why people do this sort of thing at weddings. Isn't getting married to the one you love enough? Why add frills and thrills to what's already the best day of your life?

What a bunch of old ladies we have here. Why add frills and thrills? That's why I don't skydive? (afraid of getting sucked into an engine, are we?) And the best... Serves them right. You know, it probably could have been planned better, but who the he11 are you to judge what a couple wants for their wedding? You just wish your wedding had been half as exciting.

It was actually a microlite, and the flowers went into the fan.

How could they possibly accurately predict that the bouquet would even land anywhere near the people waiting on the ground to catch it?

somebody get the release sighed to put in the movie
JackAss lll.

@7 OK - who the hell are you to judge me for having an opinon? ~(removes tonge from cheek, insert smiley of choice here)

See - that just leads to playground taunts. We all have opinions, and many of us voice them. No one is immune to criticism and we all have the right to judge other people, that's what holds society together. If no one were allowed to voice criticisms anyone could do just anything they like - that's not a great place to live.

Where did this attitude that it's not OK to judge people come from, anyway? Why can't I say it's silly? I don't mind other people saying things I do are silly - if we were only allowed to be nice to people we'd soon have someone complaining that we weren't being nice /enough/ or were nice in the wrong sort of way.

Just be thankful they didn't release doves!

As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!

If love hurts, the marriage date isn't supposed to be the right time.

wow... someone got really hurt out of this and everyone wants to be a comedian... someone wanted to have fun at their wedding and you all beat her down verbally for it. shame on you all.

Weddings should be fun. Why make it the most stressful day of your life?

The turkey give-away episode of WKRP was the funniest sitcom episode EVER!!!

I agree Skip weasle!! Getting married should be enough...why all the drama some of them have to have??

Last time I checked criticism was devisive. Opinions need not be either devisive or judgemental.

Hey that is a real classic. That will never happen again ever.Uh life is good and God has a snese of humor. Maybe the Bride should go out for baseball. That is a good one. Should have been there brings a whole new translaton to it . No one will ever forget that day as long as they live. Feel for the Birde lol. hey a good move there Bride. She will not ever live that down.

Oh thats great, so now it is Italians who are excessive instead of just human egos, huh? What about the AMERICAN couple who spent so much money on their zero-gravity wedding that they admitted they would probably be paying for it for the rest of their lives? What about all of the stupid couples on those "reality" shows like Bridezillas and Wild Weddings, ect. Humans from all over the globe are excessive and ego-driven enough to put on these kinds of ostentatious displays at their weddings, don't try to characterize Italians as the ones who are excessive.

People should do exactly what THEY want at their wedding, not what some of you think they should do. This is incredibly sad and tragic, strange time to criticize someone's taste.

Tam - please spell check if you want to leave a comment.

I am retired wedding photographer and never saw a bouquet from a plane. 30 years of traditional weddings and the most I ever saw was a drunk groom pass out. Fell like a tree.

But then I was a blue collar photographer not many extravagant weddings in my portfolio. Sorry someone got hurt but it's still funny, just not as funny as wkrp and the flying turkey.
