They had a massive wedding at Hampton Islands near Savannah, Georgia. If you dig up the information on Hampton Islands, it is a plantation.
Before the name was renamed, it was South Hampton Plantation which means what? It used to have slaves where the white families bought, sold, divided, abused, raped and murdered the slaves over the long period of time until the Civil War ended.
I grew up in Virginia not far from dozens of plantations in Virginia such as Westover, Shirley, Weston Manor, Appomattox Manor, Edgewood, Berkeley, Greenway, Brandon, Chippokes, Bacon's Castle, Sherwood Forest, Belle Air, Evelynton, Flowerdew Hundred, Kippax, North Bend, Kittiewan, Piney Grove at Southall, Smith's Fort, Four Mile Tree and Merchant's Hope to name few.
Seeing people trying to have their weddings or parties at these facilities bothered me to no end. They are mostly white people with privilege who thought it was romantic to have these milestone events at the places that enslaved the people that were imported from Africa. The idea of having a wedding at these places is revolting, to say the least.
Can you imagine having a wedding at Auschwitz Concentration Camp? Of course not, the world would be outraged but having weddings or milestone events at these plantations seems to be alright to many.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez apparently thought it was beautiful and romantic to have their wedding at a plantation in Georgia.
Disgusting.
