Women wearing their wedding dresses are pictured on a North Sea beach in Scheveningen, Netherlands, on September 09 2009. The photographer Melanie Rijkers initiated the act after she found out about the American phenomenon 'Trash the dress' on the internet. The idea behind it is to have fun once more with your used wedding dress. AFP PHOTO /ANP / ROBERT VOS ***netherlands out - belgium out*** (Photo credit should read ROBERT VOS/AFP/Getty Images)
