It's time for another installment of: What in the Hell Is This Human Thinking?

A Tennessee woman has lit the Internet on fire when photos of her walk down the aisle at her wedding started making the rounds. In an effort to make her newborn baby part of her wedding day, Shona Carter-Brooks tied her 1-month-old daughter, Aubrey, to the back of her dress and dragged her down the aisle. It is actually a little less brutal than it sounds, as you can see in the photo above, but still…why?!

We're all for including your children in your special day, and we're also all for doing whatever you want when it comes to your wedding, because it is your wedding. But this is obviously something that Shona and her husband, Johnathan, should have taken a second to think about before deciding that yeah, this would be special and not at all hazardous or upsetting for guest.

To each their own, we guess, but here are a couple other ways she could have incorporated her baby into her wedding day:

1. Carried her down the aisle
2. Pushed her in a stroller down the aisle
3. Held her during the ceremony
4. Have her husband hold the baby as they both walked down the aisle
5. Kept her in a rock 'n' play chair next to them during the ceremony
6. Walk down the aisle with the baby in a BabyBjorn
7. Literally anything else besides tying a 1-month-old to the back of a wedding dress and dragging her down the aisle

What do you guys think? Are people overreacting to the photo or is the backlash warranted?
