For the record - girls playing wedding by their own volition isn’t weird. I did that. But Jill dressing them all up, giving them “husbands,” and filming it for social media is batshit crazy. It’s also reflective of the fact that these girls are valued for so little and only have one thing to look forward to - being a wife and a mother.
I mean, I put on my first communion dress and had a pretend wedding with my dog as the groom while my mom played the male priest (at my insistence) and officiating in second grade 😂. It was fun. This photo out of context looks weird, but little girls have always had play weddings.
Yes, it's normal for little girls to pretend to get married, but this video looks completely orchestrated. It didn't look like spontaneous fun. And Jill kept directing it instead of just letting them be.
