Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively 'deeply and unreservedly sorry' for plantation wedding
I realize that he is Canadian, but what part of plantation did he not get in 2012?
" Ryan Reynolds says he regrets having his wedding at Boone Hall.
Reynolds and Blake Lively got married at the plantation in Mount Pleasant in 2012.
In a recent interview with the magazine Fast Company, Reynolds said it’s something they he will always be “deeply and unreservedly sorry for.”
According to the article, Reynolds had posted a tweet praising the Black Panther movie in 2018 which sparked a viral response accusing him of hypocrisy due to holding his wedding at Boone Hall Plantation whose past includes the use of slaves.
Reynolds told Fast Company that he is still pained by the hurt the wedding caused as well as his own lack of judgement.
“It’s something we’ll always be deeply and unreservedly sorry for,” he said.
The couple has since donated millions of dollars to civil rights organizations."

Why a Canadian and a Californian wanted to get married on a plantation is beyond me. It was trashy, but I think they've more than made up for it.

Reese and Ryan held their shotgun wedding at a plantation in Charleston, just a few miles away.

Remember when she was trying to be like Goop and had a lifestyle brand that did a whole feature glamorizing the antebellum south? I think her website folded pretty soon after that.

FFS, it’s a wedding venue. People really need to calm the fuck down.

I’m surprised a bunch of woke white folks haven’t started a go fund me to buy the place and burn it down. And who are they kidding that anyone actually cared enough about their wedding to be offended?

Did Paula Deen cater the affair? Sounds as if she would have jumped at such a chance at round two.

The plantation tours around Charleston are actually pretty cool. Many of them, especially Middleton Place, address the slavery issue repsectfully and do not ignore it. I feel badly now that because of all of this these plantation museums won't be able to rent out for weddings. I'm afraid that loss of revenue could cripple some of them.

How tone deaf. Might as well have gotten married in Klan robes.

MOVIE STARS FIND NEW WAY TO GET ATTENTION.
FFS, it's not the building's fault there was slavery. If the wedding isn't favourably referencing the building's past, who cares? R10 is right: wedding receptions are used the world over to keep stately homes maintained in these expensive times.
Next MeAgain will be apologising for getting married at Windsor Castle because people were imprisoned in it 500 years ago. (Or because it's a new way to get attention: you choose.)

R8 made me LOL. My sentiments exactly.
Who was even looking for them? Shut up, you two.

Hilarious. Now every woke Hollywood actor will have their wedding venue scrutinized. Where was Meryl Streep married?

They wouldn’t have had to do this if they hadn’t paid extra to have the lawn jockeys on the property.

Ryan Reynolds is a snarky little twat and I want to poke him in his squinty little eyes and punch his pointy little feet nose.
Fuck him and his trashy wedding.
