No, I’m not kidding. During WWII, silk was all requisitioned for British parachutes, including from the North of Ireland, and my slightly eccentric grandma was walking through her family’s fields and encountered a crashed German pilot struggling to get out of his parachute while being harassed by curious sheep. He aimed his gun at her, so she shot him. And promptly stole his silk parachute. When she made her wedding dress out of it, she attached all kinds of crazy Irish folklore s___e to it including about a dozen TAXIDERMIED DOVES. That, yes, she also went out and both shot AND taxidermied herself. It has now been given to me as I cannot afford to buy one. If I am not wearing it in wedding photographs, the family will be heartbroken. The dress is a complete madness of dead birds, occasional spots of German blood which is at least MOSTLY hidden under lace she made herself, and many other weird, inexplicable things. What would you do if the doors opened and THAT was what you saw? submitted by /u/AliceMorgon
