Kimberly Santleben-Stiteler sealed the deal on her divorce in a big way – with a big bang! This Texas Hill Country woman celebrated the end of her marriage by blowing up her wedding dress. The marriage may have lasted 14 years, but it only took one shot (and 20 pounds of explosives) for it to end!
It was her father’s idea, according to media reports. And can you blame him? Santleben-Stiteler’s dad hosted a divorce party for his daughter on his ranch property in Lacoste, just west of San Antonio in the Hill Country, where friends and family witnessed her rifle shot and the subsequent explosion. She had originally wanted to simply burn the dress in an innocuous recognition of this milestone, but her father thought this to be a more fitting end. Her divorce had been finalized the day previous and 40 friends and family members were invited to her father’s ranch to support her.
