(WFLA) – Most brides wait until after their wedding to take part in "destroy the dress" events. But, Kilee Manulak had a different situation. The week of her wedding, she revealed her fiance sent her a text message saying he didn't want to marry her after a two-year engagement.
"I just kind of went numb," Manulak said. "My maid of honor, my mom, and all my friends just helped me call people and let them know the wedding was over. I was just so devastated."
After a few unbearably sad days, she decided to do something drastic. She and her bridesmaids destroyed their dresses during the Color Fun Fest in Tampa over the weekend.
"It was very liberating," she said.
Manulak wanted others to see her story and gain strength of their own. She said she wanted to tell her fiance thank you for sparing her heartache down the road.
