A bride has received fierce criticism after a picture of her was shared online which showed a baby tied to her wedding dress.
The picture, which surfaced on Reddit, shows the woman locking arms with a man as she walks down the aisle with the infant in tow.
Wedding guests in the packed church can be seen staring at the youngster as it clutches the train of the dress.
Redditors were left outraged by the image, which was shared by a user called whatever9, and originally snapped in Tennessee, in the US in 2014.
One person wrote: "Oh sweet Jesus! Why? And why did no one pick up that poor baby."

Another said: "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…"
One concerned user said: "I'm just hoping the baby was still alive by the time the wedding was over."
While whatever 9 added: "This poor child must forever keep happening upon her mother’s horrible decisions then. How awful."
