California bride gets nabbed trying to scam wedding website The Knot out of thousands

Miller was sentenced to five years in county jail, and was hit with a
$22,500 fine after pleading no contest to one count of insurance fraud.
Back in 2016, she handed over forged documents to claim a $10,000
wedding cancellation insurance policy.\
Several wedding sites, include The Knot and Pinterest, are changing their policies regarding coverage of weddings that take place on plantations.
Pinterest is going so far as to ban photos from these venues from the site.
Photos of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' wedding, which took place at the Boone Hall Plantation in Charleston, will be among those pulled from the site.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' wedding photos are about to get significantly less exposure online.
The couple's photos are being banned from popular wedding sites
including Pinterest and The Knot as part of a larger decision to no
longer highlight photos of plantation weddings, E! reports. Blake and Ryan wed at the Boone Hall Plantation in Charleston in 2012.
Plantations have become popular wedding venues in recent years, but, beautiful as they may be, they have a problematic history.
"Plantations are physical reminders of one of the most horrific human
rights abuses the world has ever seen," civil rights group Color of
Change said in a letter to Knot Worldwide executives, as well as
Pinterest, according to
Buzzfeed News. "The decision to glorify plantations as nostalgic sites
of celebration is not an empowering one for the Black women and
justice-minded people who use your site. The wedding industry routinely
denies the violent conditions Black people faced under chattel slavery
by promoting plantations as romantic places to marry."
While the Knot's new policy will prohibit "language that glorifies,
celebrates, or romanticizes Southern plantation history," Pinterest is
going further and taking steps to remove previously-posted photos of
plantation weddings from the site.
"Weddings should be a symbol of love and unity," a Pinterest spokesperson said, according to E! News.
"Plantations represent none of those things. We are working to limit
the distribution of this content and accounts across our platform, and
continue to not accept advertisements for them."
