There's nothing wrong with a woman drinking a beer. In fact, we've always thought that ladies who enjoy a good brew are arguably more fun than those who turn up their noses at the thought. But a front-page photo of a bride swilling a cold one out of the bottle has caused a "controversy" in New Zealand.

beer bride

Katrina Hayman, a pig midwife (yes, you read that right), was photographed by the Taranaki Daily News drinking a beer as she "relived" her big day for the Taranaki Bride of the Year competition. "At your wedding you're relaxed because you have your family and friends around for support but in the competition you are sort of all by yourself," Hayman told the newspaper. "It was quite stressful. That's why I was drinking a beer."

However, the photo stirred outrage, and the contest's organizers demanded an apology from the newspaper for publishing the picture. As for Hayman, who tied the knot in March, she said no one would have cared if she'd been drinking wine. "I mean that is just the type of person I am," she reportedly said. "I don't like to portray myself as someone I am not. A lot of females drink beer and it's just I felt more comfortable having a beer than having a wine." Hayman didn't win the competition.

    you sound like she's a alcoholic, and hows she soppost to do yoga/meditate minutes before her wedding?

    Exactly. I'm guessing she assumes that enjoying a drink or two makes someone an alcoholic. I bet she's a hit at parties.

    lol exactly, seeing a picture of a woman having 1 beer doesnt mean there an alcoholic, also lots of people get nervous before they get married and most people drink at weddings too!

    Tacky.
    A glass of wine or champagne better fits the mood, and after all the money and work to make everything "perfect" you'd think she'd be a little more conscious of things like that.
    And that stupid tramp stamp could have been covered too.
    By wearing a fancy white dress to the wedding she is exactly being something she is not! If she wants a beer fine, if she wants to be herself, wear a tshirt and jeans too!

    Oh right, because if someone gets a tattoo, that means they've had sex.

    It's what its called, and it's tacky. Especially at an event like a wedding.

    I know what they're called, but I've known virgins that get them. And you can't exactly remove them just for a wedding.

    It's still good for raising the level of tacky for any occasion, and can still be covered with clothing or make-up.
    Even Megan Fox has the presence of mind to cover her tattoos on some occasions.
    Plan ahead a little, one day that woman is going to get old and that gnarly tattoo will be a smudge on her saggy skin.
    I'm not a slut I just dress that way! LOL

    At least she can play "guess what this black glob used to be" in the nursing home. Though, considering I plan on getting a couple of tattoos, I can't really say much. Personally, it would have to be pretty meaningful for me to permanently mark my skin, but to each their own.

    Taking a drink is hardly "swilling".
