Description

This is a set of photos made with a wedding dress that was found in the trash and then painted and altered with neon paint. The bouque is made of plastic flowers and old plushies.

The titles of the photos were inspired by this aheist wedding vows from 1862:
“We, Orson S. Murray, and Lydia P. Jacobs, make known to these our friends that we have chosen each other for conjugal companionship, in prosperity and adversity, in life and till death. We ask no license. We submit to no dictation. We bow to no authority. We recognize no God nor Almighty power to guide or guard us. Our promises are to ourselves and each other, not to others. Our trust is not in others but in ourselves and each other.”
