A bride has been slammed over social media for sharing pictures which show that she tied her baby to the back of her wedding dress as she walked down the aisle.

The picture, which surfaced over Reddit, has received fierce criticism as it shows a woman locking arms with a man as she walks down the aisle, with her infant in tow.

Taken in Tennessee, in the US, the picture reveals a packed church full of wedding guests and they all appear to be staring at the baby, which is clutching to the train of the wedding dress.

Many were horrified by the images, which were shared by a Reddit user called whatever9, and was originally taken in 2014.

One person wrote: “Oh sweet Jesus! Why? And why did no one pick up that poor baby.”

Another commented: “I’m no expert, but I am pretty sure babies are supposed to be kept off the floor and a bit further from it at this age…”

A concerned user added: “I’m just hoping the baby was still alive by the time the wedding was over.”

The Sun reported that the bride issued a statement in which she defended her actions from her wedding in 2014, as many slammed her behavior.

She stated: “People questioning what we do, commenting all negative, and just doing the most. We good though we covered by the Blood which never looses its power.
