Beer Swigging Bride Controversy Continues

This story continues to have legs and with so many people sending in questions, I thought an update would be good. If you missed the original story, this photo was released from the “Taranaki Bride of the Year” competition…and believe it or now people took offense to it….some even calling it “disgusting.” I’d be curious if a) it was wine instead, or b) it was beer in a glass instead…but I guess I’ll never know. The latest update from tvnz:
Taranaki’s beer-drinking bride Katrina Hayman is bemused by controversy that has erupted after a photo of her drinking a beer at the Taranaki Bride of the Year competition was published in the Taranaki Daily News yesterday.
Organisers have called for an apology, many callers have expressed their displeasure and online commentators have slammed the photo as "disgusting".
"So what if I enjoy a Tui over drinking wine and I haven’t hurt anybody doing that. Only a lot of jealous people would be negative, at the end of the day we are meant to be ourselves," she commented about the story online.
Regardless of Hayman’s response, Taranaki Bride of the Year co-convener Lynn Gilbert-Smith wrote a letter to the Daily News to express her hope the editor would apologise to all involved.
