A jilted woman burned her wedding dress after finding out her fiancé had cheated on her before the wedding.
Furious Khristella Joseph really put the flames into the saying "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" as she poured lighter fluid over the white garment in her Port Arthur,Texas, USA, garden on May 14.
After saying "I'm getting ready to burn this badass memory", Khristella walks around the dress, lighting the pearl decorated fabric in multiple places before stating "burn, baby burn".
While the rapidly charring clothing burns on the grass, Khristella calls it "a bad memory" before finally uttering "ashes to ashes, dust to dust".

Khristella said: "When the dress went up in flames, I felt 100 per cent better that it was destroyed.
"Having my emotions played with was a very cruel joke and I hope I never run into another man that thinks it's funny to do that.
"As for the dress, good riddance to it and all the bad memories that came with it."
Khristella and her ex-fiancé became a couple in August 2016 before he proposed on Christmas Day of the same year.
Having received the wedding dress on Valentine's Day 2017, she only found out her partner had been cheating in April when he sent her a text claiming "to want to be free".
Khristella said: "Soon after, pictures of him and his mistress that were taken in February surfaced on Facebook.

"When this happened, he informed me our relationship was nothing but a big joke and that he never loved or cared about me in the first place.
"We had wedding plans in motion but I tried to return the dress to its manufacturer as it was still in new condition and had not been altered.
"They declined to take it back so I gave myself a deadline to sell it and if I still had the dress when that deadline came, I was going to set the dress on fire."
