To find Kim Marsh's wedding pictures in incredible bad taste

[Whitershadeofpale]

daily mail alert

Selling your wedding pictures may not be to my taste but each to their own but making money out of posing in your wedding dress with your dead son's ashes leaves an incredibly bad taste in my mouth.

I understand if she'd wanted to take the ashes as a private tribute but exploiting it for financial gain I find frankly disgusting.

I really don't see what it has to do with anyone. Her life, her loss. She doesn't need to be judged.

What a lovely bunch you are... :(

YABU and this thread is in incredibly bad taste.

Her baby died, she wants him acknowledged and remembered on an important day for her and her husband, his father. Is she just supposed to pretend he never existed to stop people like you feeling uncomfortable?

YABU that is the only way her son could be there

I also think its a beautiful and moving photo

I thought it was a touching photo ... but hey, this is MN, home of the judgemental hoikey panty uppy arsey fuck all to occupy themselves all day friendless, bitter, twisted and dysfunctional forum

If people find her holding the ashes offensive, then I think they have a problem.

However, I think it's perfectly understandable that people find selling photos of ones wedding to Hello offensive. It's not the specific content of the photos for me, its the whole concept of exploitation.

Actually thinking about it more my big issue with that photo is that she is being exploited by hello.

In fact this thread is seriously offensive. Shame you don't have something better to do than bitch about someone's loss :(

I like the picture. Why shouldn't she share it and her thoughts about Archie? He is their son and they miss him.

And wtf has "taste" got to do with it? Subjective isn't it?

AHEM

Oh my god
YABVU and spiteful to boot!

Olivia you must get that cough checked out.

Olivia, this isn't going to end well. Think of all the people who have lost loved ones. Perhaps this thread should be deleted. It's not fair to judge someone's loss on a public forum as a matter of whether they way they grieve is "tasteful" or not.

i really dont understand all the dont judge comments.eh hello you are on aibu! i judged. nowt wrong with her including her ds in wedding.but i found having the photo on front cover distasteful.imo. btw i say this as a mother of 3 dead sons so i not some horrible,unpathetic bitch...

She's not tasteless.

She is brave.

Poor woman.

Sorry about the cough
What I meant to say was: "Please bear in mind that whilst this topic does canvass opinions, it is not a fight club."
Thanks all.

YABU.

God forbid that any of us are ever in that position. To those that are, I'm sorry. Do whatever you need to do to get through the day and whatever brings you comfort. Sod the rest of the world!

That photo might be her favourite. Afterall, his parents are getting married and she wants him to share in their happiness. Whether people buy it because of that photo is irrelevant.

Olivia - I think we know it's not a fight club. I certainly do. Believe me - I was holding back.

Pink I am really sorry you have gone through that , have you never wanted to scream how bloody painful the whole thing is ?

I have and I am guessing but I think this was her way of doing it .

I have often wanted to scream from the rooftops but manners and possibly taste too have stopped me and I only feel glad for her that she was able to do this and felt supported enough to manage it .

It may not to be your taste or mine but each to their own when they grieve.

Yabu

Frankly op unless you have been in her situation, which I have, twice, then you don't know what you are going to do, you can comment and say that its disgusting all you like but until the day that you hold your child and he or she passes away in your arms then you haven't got any idea the pain you would feel.

That picture, and the fact its on the front of a magazine takes away a bit of that taboo that me and others in my position have to face daily. Do you know what its like mentioning your child and people just looking uncomfortable and changing the subject because they don't know how to react? No? Well I do and I bloody love Kim Marsh to be brave enough to not give a shit about peoples perceptions of her and have that lovely picture made public. Already today someone I know talked to me about that photo which led onto a lovely conversation about my babies.

YABVU and very judgemental,

What an absolutely horrible thread. I am aghast that so many of you think that she should keep her grief private, or succumb to wedding norms.
Any of us in her position would spend a lot of the wedding day thinking about the child that died, wondering where he'd be sitting if he was here, what he'd look like. It would be so bittersweet. I have the utmost respect for her for being open and honest about it, and think, "Actually, no. I'm not going to pretend he never was. He will be a part of my day, and I'm going to be open about it. It takes someone brave to challenge social norms that way.
It will be the magazine's decision to lead with that photo. The question is, why should they need to? Because we're not used to people being so open, that's why. It's a completely new image for us. And that's the only tasteless thing here.
