You won’t believe why this bride’s wedding photo has gone viral… but she’s thrilled at the reason
Nakyia Whitty shared snaps of her big day on Instagram but she never expected her photos would touch so many people
SCORES of people online have praised a woman and her bridesmaids after they decided to wear their hair naturally for their wedding photos.
Last week Nakyia Whitty, 27, shared snaps from her big day on Instagram but she never expected the positive reaction she received from other users.
After uploading her wedding pics, Instagrammers from around the world quickly fell in love with their natural hair and the snaps have been going viral since.
While writing on about the kind comments she'd received from strangers, Nakyia said: "I have had people share with me how they are or were afraid to wear their natural hair out and I’ve given them some sort of boost to want to wear their God given tresses.
"I would just like to say that I honestly was just getting married with who and what I love and appreciate in mind for MY photo album. MY memories. MY big day."
And she went on the explain that she felt "blessed" that her decision to go natural had such a wonderful impact on other people.
She said: "In no way was I ever thinking I would be seen by or touch so many, but in light of believing that God makes no mistakes, I want to let everyone know how blessed I feel to be a blessing to so many.
"Whether it be by wedding inspiration, self esteem boosts, or if I’ve handed off a little courage to wear your natural tresses and own it, or even if you just felt like I made the stick sparkle a little brighter, I am genuinely and humbly honoured."
that she and her bridesmaids had been planning to wear their hair naturally before she'd even got engaged."I love my natural tresses. I wasn’t always natural, but when I started this journey I began to appreciate and love what I was born with," she said.
