Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale ranks among the greatest dystopian novels of all time, and the modern TV show adaptation aired to critical acclaim. However, it's perhaps not the sort of story you'd like to dwell on during what should be the happiest day of your life.
One bride now claims she is considering theming her wedding day around the dark sci-fi book and will include some of the more chilling aspects of the narrative. Asking people to 'hear her out' before passing judgment, the bride-to-be excitedly announced her intention to have her bridesmaids dressed in the blood-red garb of the handmaids.
For those unfamiliar with the fictional world of Gilead, the handmaids are fertile women who've been separated from their homes and families and forced to reproduce children for sinister commanders and their wives.
