Serendipity can be defined as "finding something sublime when least expected or when not looking." Shelby Swink is the human epitome of "making the most of what is given to you." Swink just weeks before was a love-struck, doting bride to be until her ex-fiancée sat her down and delivered the cold hard truth; that he was not in love with her. Instead of mourning away, eating her weight in ice cream and watching cliché, all to garish rom-coms, on the day that her wedding was supposed to be Shelby let out all her emotions in an immaculate aesthetic display of fury. Shelby and her effervescent bridesmaids, close friends and family got together on the ludicrous day and fabricated a work of art with sinister emotion behind it. Swink and her bridesmaids gathered together with bottles of scarlet, jade, cerulean and citrine paint and splattered her alabaster and once "perfect wedding dress." Swink and her friends took the news by storm with their unprecedented ways. Swink also managed to get her multi-colored dress on display in a popular bridal shop nearby. Maybe this wasn't the picturesque end to a fairy tale but Swink sure made the most of the situation and had a good time with her friends along the way.


Wow that is such a nice twist to such a bad thing like that. I really like your post!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea! Who says a girl always have to cry and be depressed? I love how strong and creative she was. I'm glad that she was still able to turn this day into one she'll remember forever. It'd be awesome if she wore this dress in another wedding to a better and more appreciate guy. As a way to say one man's lost is another man's gain.
