KFI:
Wedding days are momentous events and while it is an overall joyous occasion, it can also be difficult for some brides and grooms with loved ones who aren’t at the ceremony because they’ve passed away. Many deal with it by bringing photos of their late relatives or even wearing something that belonged to them so that in a way, they are present.
Charlotte Watson lost her dad to cancer four months before her nuptials and found a special way to include him in her big day – the 26-year-old used his ashes in her nails. Charlotte’s cousin, Kirsty Meakin, a nail artist and YouTuber, gave her a one-of-a-kind manicure that featured the ashes encased in her nails. To get the nails just right, Kirsty and Charlotte went through the ashes to find pieces that would work. When they selected both dust-like pieces and small bits of bone fragments, Kirsty created a French ombre manicure. more here
The customary wedding night grabbing of the heat seeking moisture missile would certainly be uncomfortable for me if I were the groom. Just sayen. In fact I’d be asking about whats in her lip stick.
What a bunch of idiots. I could see encasing them in a pendant or bracelet or something but picking thru your loved ones ashes to put on your fingernails? Oh well, at least I’m not hearing about her pushing turds.
That’s not charming at all. WTF is wrong with people? Are we now in a permanent competition to see who can be the most idiotic?
That’s disgusting. In so many ways.
Is that really what Dad would have wanted… ?
How did the hubby feel about her running those fingernails through his hair?
Ugh. Stop.
I had the same conundrum, Dad having not lived to walk me down the aisle.
I solved it by eloping.
Saved everyone a lot of tears and travel expenses.
And, though I didn’t realize it at the time, saved a heck of a lot on a manicure…
PLEASE let this not become a trend.
Ahh, fuck.
Yuk. Just wrong.
AW, who cares….my Dad’s second wife jumped through a bunch of hoops for my Dad’s ashes to be interred in a mausoleum in a state and town which he never lived…My solace comes in knowing that he no longer loved her and she knew it. She also knew that I knew it and her kids quit loving her as her checkbook vanished….then her grandkids didn’t care much for her either…nasty bitch…
willy, think a watched you on doctor Phil. It was tragic.
Some things get under my skin but this is a sure sign of ignorance and a definite symptom of disrespect.
No doubt she used those same nails to wipe her ass and pick her nose.
In order to do what is right, if you are Catholic, the remains must not be dispersed and must remain together. Just saying.
FWIW, I find the whole fingernail thing to be damnable.
now thats macabre. I wonder whats in her pepper shaker at home.
It is a sure sign of “his” (dare I presume gender?) much manly manness, that her groom showed up. Wifed up the perfectly sane mother of
hissomebody’s children. Much, much man.Who cares? If that is important to you, go for it. But keep it to yourself, it doesn’t need to be on the interweb. Next thing you know she will be looking for a gofundme something or other.
Do any of you actually know what cremation ashes are?
Ask your local trusted mortician…or your high school science teacher. Then get back to me.
Wait,cremation ashes are nail polish. Wow, now I know.
Sylvia, no i dont but the article said they looked for pieces to use, not ash, so i assume they are sandpaper sized pieces. Would that be right or are there larger chunks?
People are screwed up. When she removed dear ol’ Dad, did she just throw him in the trash?

@Charlie WalksonWater the cremains from our animals look like coarse sand with some larger bone fragments.
I’ve seen places that will turn your cremains into ‘gem stones’ but it’s not for me.
@joe6pack, i agree. Do it, keep it to yourself and be done.

Checked out the nail artist’s Instagram because I do love nail art
Those peeps just aren’t right in their heads.
Nailed it.
🙂
I guess that’s better than snorting him, like Keith Richards.
I would have encased them in a ring or pendant necklace. But fake fingernails?
Uh…no. I’d have more respect for my father’s remains than that. But then, those fingernails will have the bride’s real desired effect, “Hey! Look at meee!!”
That’s gross, wrong and wholly disrespectful to Dad.
Dude, how did you vet all those scratches on your back? My wifes dad!
