A number of Canadian brides have decided the best way to celebrate their marriage is to ruin their wedding gown after the event.

A new trend may interest brides who are wondering what to do with their gown after getting married at wedding venues in Middlesex.
Canadian newlywed women have been taking their once beloved dresses and trashing them in photo shoots with a difference, CBC News reports.
The craze has seen ladies don their bridal gown and head to the nearest pond to pose for a series of alternative pictures.
"I'm not going to get married again. You get married and you're done with the dress. It's going to hang in the closet. Let's wear it again and do something cool," explained Dana Salares who walked down the aisle a year ago in a $2,000 [£1,288] gown.
Originating in the Caribbean where brides would frolic in the sea in cheap dresses, the movement has now become an inspiration for many Canadian women.
I wonder whether the eager ladies who avidly queued outside one US store for hours ahead of a competition to bag a high-end dress at a bargain price would be so willing to ruin their gown.

Wedding venues in Hertfordshire news
Couples looking to get married on a budget can now buy engagement rings for just £15 as they do their weekly shopping.
Published by Richard Charles
A new range of jewellery could save couples getting married at wedding venues in London a tidy sum.
Supermarket chain Tesco has unveiled a new collection of budget engagement rings that cost a fraction of the price of a diamond sparkler, the Daily Mail reports.
The gold-plated bands are fashioned in the same design as traditional rings, but instead of an expensive gem, zirconia stones are what glitter under the lights.
Now men planning to propose can pick up the bargain jewellery for just £15 as they do the weekly food shop at their local store.
A spokesperson for the company said: "With gold prices rocketing - they reached £860 per ounce in June - we have found an affordable alternative to help recession-hit Brits get engaged in style."
One celebrity recently caught up in an engagement ring mystery was actor George Clooney, whose girlfriend was seen sporting an unusual looking band which turned out to be only a napkin ring worn as a joke.

Couples to incorporate unusual traditions at wedding venues in Middlesex?
Kidnapping the bride and covering her in feathers and eggs are just some of the more wacky customs different cultures perform to celebrate marriage.
Published by Richard Charles
Couples getting married at wedding venues in Middlesex may wish to include a traditional wedding custom from the region they are from.
The Daily Telegraph took a look at different celebrations from around the globe carried out to mark the beginning of newlyweds' lives together.
In Scotland, the bride is marched around town doused in oil, feathers and eggs, while in the US a now less popular tradition is to ruin the bridal gown by covering it in water or mud.
The Spanish favour more low-key habits such as the groom providing his soon-to-be wife with 13 coins, which she takes to the ceremony to symbolise his intention to look after her.
Meanwhile, Welsh brides give their bridesmaids myrtle to plant and if their cutting flowers it means they will soon be married themselves.
Finally, the paper noted that the Germans have a ritual which involves the best man kidnapping the woman and taking her to drink champagne in a pub until the groom finds them.
A traditional English custom is to ensure the bride has an item to represent each of the aspects of a Victorian rhyme; something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.

Wedding venues in Middlesex news: Batman weds Wonder Woman
A couple dressed as their favourite superheroes exchanged vows in front of Batman's sidekick and his arch enemy.
Published by Gina Freed
Couples thinking about how they can put a twist on their weddings at venues in Middlesex may want to take tips from one pair of newlyweds who dressed as superheroes.
Neil Vaughan, otherwise known as Batman, wed his fiancee Sharon - who was dressed as Wonder Woman - in front of Superman, Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk.
Robin was the best man and the Joker acted as master of ceremonies at the fancy dress nuptials in Paignton, Devon.
Other guests included Captain America and Bananaman, who watched as the bride walked down the aisle wearing a red corset, blue hotpants and tiara with a veil, accompanied by the Powerpuff Girls.
Mrs Vaughn said: "Our wedding was absolutely amazing and it cost us less than some couples would spend on just the dress."
Inspired by their love of dressing up, the pair decided to channel their favourite characters for the ceremony.
Costume weddings seem to be all the rage at the moment after the Aberdeen Press and Journal reported how Angela and Elliot McDonough wed as their alter egos, Marie Antoinette and Captain Jack Sparrow.
