A certain well-loved Nova Scotia resort building burned to the ground, and the couple who got hitched on the premises posed for their wedding pics in front of the burning building, with big smiles on their faces. Is this not a bit disrespectful? Is this something they are going to have a laugh about years from now? –Babette

No, they are smiling due to the event of marriage and yes, there was a bit of a flame happening at the time. Disrespectful to whom?
I have to agree I thought it didn’t show much class or respect, lucky no one was injured or killed, of course it didn’t stop the paper from publishing it so I guess they were no better
Their sex was on fire
lol Mel of Lyon. Nice one!
Personally, I don’t think there is anything wrong with what they did. They probably WILL look back at this on their anniversary, many years from now and have a good laugh. “Your mother and I were so hot back then, we burned the place down!”
It would be different if somebody got hurt, but thankfully that wasn’t the case so, I say, why not?
“Da roof! Da roof! Da roof is on fye-yah!”
At first it reminded me of the Vancouver riots.
But actually in a situation like that, you either laugh or cry, I am glad they chose to laugh.
I wish more people would do that in general.
If this was the couple on the news the other night, their plans were to be married in the main building at the resort (you know the one on fire in the background). Maybe, just maybe they had planned their wedding before the time of the fire, took time off work, made reservations for honeymoon etc. How is having a couple wedding photos taken in front of a fire where your wedding was supposed to take place disrespectful? I don’t know about you, but if this happened on my wedding day you can bet this event would be scrapbooked. Bet bent you self righteous ass!!!!!!
yeah these guys lost all their presents… had their plans shattered…. and instead of breaking down in tears that their special day was ruined, they made the best of it… worked with the resort and moved the wedding and reception to other buildings… and took a few memorable pictures to remember their very unique day. im sure the white point staff and owners were as upset about ruining the couples wedding as they were about losing the building… thats what good customer service is about…. and to have a couple as willing to compromise and adapt as this one was…. made their own tragedy easier to deal with.
time to stop looking for shit to bitch about.
It’s not like they were going to get a REFUND; so what would you prefer that they do? forfeit all the money, time and energy that was spent?
man, they just spent a fortune fixing this place up…
and now it’s toast.
geez.
I was worried for all the bunnies that roam the place, hopefully they weren’t hurt.
I’m sure they’re well insured, Zed.
mmmmmm, hasenpfeffer.

I cooked a coney in my crockpot yesterday. SOBova says that singing “Bright Eyes” while jointing the carcass was a tad much >: (
Bet if they buck the 50/50 odds of divorce they get a ‘write up’ in the paper 25 or 50 years from now when they have an anniversary stay at the rebuilt lodge. Hmm, maybe they should do a write up in 5 years. It’d be a good free promotion for the place as well.
Perhaps more a bit of old fashioned ‘gallows humour’. When folks have had, or seen, a bad situation happen, especially something dangerous they often use levity to relieve tension, avoid trauma if possible and restore normalcy etc. Often almost a ‘thank you’ that worse things did not happen. Very common in many tragic situations. May not seem appropriate to those not being there, but often is a survivor reaction. Been there a few times, and it works.
These folks and their wedding party had avoided the fire, and likely the pictures were taken after it was known that all people were safe.
After all the place is already on fire, they are in their duds and it is where the wedding bash was happening. So really – why not have a picture? One can choose to laugh or cry, and laughing usually is a better choice. Especially to start their married life. Best wishes to them.
Disrespectful? Pfft. Have you no sense of humour?
unless they set the fire, i don’t see a problem
Even more reason to if they set the fire!
Disrespectful to who?
Good for them, they took a lousy situation on der ‘special’ day & made the best they could of it.
Congrats to them, with an attitude like that, they probably are going to roll with the bad times better than most.
you funny mr more with yer rogue spellin^^
this is a historical moment and they were part of it.
Chill out. Nobody died. A business burned down.
pfft.. dramaqueen..
Hay – you there on the right! Coast Halifax Match guy – codename! You’d be pretty cute if you took off that fake glasses/nose/mustache.
i actually thought it very apt. given that in a few years, their marriage will go down in flames and rubble too. make book on that one guys. i give them maybe 3 years, tops.
“I was worried for all the bunnies that roam the place, hopefully they weren’t hurt.”
Ditto! I stayed there this past summer and a highlight was the random bunnies found all over the grounds.
i don’t know about that mr fat, some of them are quite vicious^^ http://static.panoramio.com/photos/origina…
Hopefully the bill for their wedding also went down with the building. Imagine the savings to them 🙂 Great way to start off with a debt free wedding.
OP hates the fact people can be happy and make the best of a bad situation. OP much prefers to walk around with their head down, eyes covered by fruity emo bangs, razor blade at the ready. Oh woe is OP, woe is their miserable life!
hay snubiz, i don’t think his stache is fake. click on his photo

I’m loving your kittehs today Zzzzz
C’mon LS…all marriages don’t end in divorce, I have many family members who have been married for over 50 years. My oldest daughter has been married for more than 10 years & they get along great & have 2 beautiful children.
I was married for over 20 years before it ended. But divorce doesn’t happen to ‘everyone’.
Paingirl, every time I see ‘Mr more’…I think is my dad here ~;)
LMAO @ zZz’s last kitteh post. THAT was freakin’ hilarious!
it would have suited even more if I could find a bunny but alas…
one was not to be found in such a situation for our viewing pleasure.
note: there actually IS one pick if you google “bunny rebuild him” but work thinks I need not distract myself with such sites.
If you thought the place was nice before… I can only imagine what it’ll look like being re-built from scratch.
well, you are a grandfather sir more^^
Paingirl that is true…I just don’t feel like one, nor do I feel old.
I guess who ever said that ‘how old you are is a state of mind’ must have been right.
i can stop using honorifics if it bothers you more
