Why Were Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' Plantation Wedding Photos Banned From Pinterest?

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' wedding photos, which took place at the Boone Hall Plantation in Charleston, suddenly was banned from Pinterest, The Knot, and other popular wedding sites. So, what are the reason for that?

According to E! Online reports, the remove of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' wedding photos from the site was a part of a larger decision to no longer highlight photos of plantation weddings. The couple organized their wedding at the Boone Hall Plantation in Charleston in 2012 with so beautiful photos.

Plantations are a popular wedding place that lots of big names select to tie a knot. However, the beautiful venue has a problematic history that reminding about the most horrific human rights abuses in the world.

The Knot and Pinterest said that weddings should be a symbol of love and unity but Plantations showed none of those things.  So, they will limit the distribution of this content and not accepting any advertisements for them.

Another explanation that plantations are the sites of former forced labour camps and "brutalized and murdered millions of black people". It's not inappropriate and disrespectful to their descendants when regarding it as a wedding venue.

After their much-criticized wedding at Planation House, Lively and Reynolds have never spoken out to clarify why they chose to get married at a plantation. It might be becasue it's a beautiful blace for wedding, forgeting its problemetic history.

The new policy of The Knot will prohibit "language that glorifies, celebrates, or romanticizes Southern plantation history," while Pinterest step by step removes previously-posted photos of plantation weddings from the site.
