Janine in her dress, holding a picture of her fiancé Johnny
Earlier this year, Janine was like any other bride-to-be -- planning a wedding, looking for the perfect dress and eager to walk down the aisle. Unfortunately, she never got that chance.
Fifty-two days before her nuptials, Janine's fiancé Johnny died unexpectedly. Her custom wedding dress, once a symbol of happiness, became a reminder of what she had lost. But she couldn't bring herself to part with it.
"I finally decided that I wanted to keep my wedding dress and not sell it because of what it means to me," she told Del Sol Photography, who featured her story on their site. "I wanted to be free and I wanted to do something different."
Janine teamed up with Del Sol photographer Matt Adcock to do an underwater "trash the dress" shoot.

Once, he had attempted to pray in his own religion and one boy had told him it was a big offence to pray in any other religion other than going to mass. Gradually, Garba was getting used to it. He knew his father would be alarmed. After mass, there was a morning service which Mr. Jacobs officiated as usual. He always used an interpreter at such services. "As children of God, created by God, you must not commit sins. If you steal, you have committed sin, if you tell lies, you are a sinner, and every sinner will be cast into hell fire," Mr. Jacobs said. The interpreter translated. The Whiteman went on and on. "This man is also a sinner," Tanko whispered to Garba who was sitting close by. "If you know you have sinned against God by ....
