她一直引頸期盼這一天的到來,這天她可以走上紅毯、交換承諾、許諾終身。

不過就在婚禮到來的前幾週,她的未婚夫告訴她,他已經沒有愛了,決定不跟她結婚。

她說:「碰!我結婚、生孩子、跟心愛的人走一生的夢想瞬間灰飛煙滅了!」

當下的她,腦筋一片空白。在接下來的幾天,她忙於跟賓客取消的混亂當中…

“I was in complete shock and had no idea what to think or do. I was numb. The next few days were a blur of calling guests and canceling vendors.”

她很高興家人們都可以支持她,但也不知道該怎麼做。

Swink said she was lucky to have her friends and family supporting her, but none of them knew what to do or how to act when what was supposed to be her wedding day rolled around.

然而,怎麼說都一定要來個「安慰的派對」來犒賞自己的人生波折。

But she knew one thing for certain: “A pity party was the farthest thing from what I wanted or needed," she said.

所以呢!既然這個婚約已經失效了,那不如就來儀式性地來「搞髒婚紗」吧!誰說這樣的情況下,不能夠開開心心地玩呢?

她說:「當第一滴漆弄髒婚紗時,我就立刻被釋放了。」

 

她說,一開始她覺得這個點子有點太瘋狂了,但這的確是個完美的點子。畢竟在這樣的情況下,這只是件衣服,一個婚禮的東西罷了。

“At first it sounded crazy, but after really thinking about it, I knew that it was the perfect thing for me,” Swink said. “After all, it was just a dress, a material item.”

於是,在她婚禮的當天,她還是要開開心心地跟親朋好友們一起度過。這樣的快樂,是不應該被她前未婚夫給帶走的。

“Nov. 1 was supposed to be a fun and happy day surrounded by friends and family who loved me,” Swink continued. “I decided that I would not let my ex-fiancé's mistake of letting me go take that away from me.”

新娘的爸爸媽媽,也都加入了這場好玩的派對。

當初是她媽媽買下這件禮服的,在她有了這個點子時,她還有點擔心該怎麼告訴媽媽。沒想到媽媽100%支持她的作法。

“My mom is the one who paid for the dress, so I was nervous as to how she would react when I told her what I wanted to do with it. But both of them were 100% supportive and wanted to be there for me.”

Shelby的爸爸甚至帶來了一些香檳跟菸。

她也希望伴娘們可以一同到場,結果就是照片上這麼快樂的光景呢!

She also wanted her bridesmaids to be there, and they ended up being just as excited as Swink to take the photos.

一群好朋友,陪她一起度過了人生當中這麼具有儀式性的東西。

結束後,她的禮服也被展示在曼非斯 (Memphis) 的一家店裡頭。

她也沒想到,這樣的舉動竟然這麼能釋放心情,而在油漆噴到她禮服上的剎那,她知道她自由了。

“I can't even describe how liberating and cathartic the experience was for me,” said Swink. “The moment the first bit of paint hit my dress I was free.”

就算幾個月前才跟她前未婚夫分手,但她還是用歡樂的方式度過這一切的負面情緒。

她說:「與其躺下來,讓生命踐踏我,我決定要站起來面對它!」

“Instead of lying down and letting life trample over me, I decided to get up and face it head-on,” she said.

而對於她的前未婚夫,她想對他說:「謝謝你帶給我痛苦還有失落,謝謝你讓我知道我自己的力量…」

And if she could say one thing to her ex, this is what it would be: “Thank you for sparing me greater pain and loss down the road. Thank you for pushing me to realize my own strength..."

「謝謝你告訴我,沒有任何人可以帶走我的快樂。謝謝你讓我走,讓我有一天可以真正感受到相互的愛。謝謝!」(連爸媽都加入比中指的行列…)

"...Thank you for teaching me that no one can take away my happiness. Thank you for letting me go so I can one day experience true reciprocated love. THANK YOU!”

幹得好啊,女孩!看得我都忍不住要起立為她鼓掌了。人生的道路上,本來就是會碰到種種的挫折跟痛苦,這時候,你要選擇躲在角落當中自怨自艾、自我憐惜,或者是勇敢面對,甚至是以這種有趣幽默的心態來面對呢?由你來選擇!
