Reply #50: Fantastic! This country needs a great big giant wedding industrial complex enema. [View All]

We have no idea as a society what marriage is; the difference between a wedding and a wedding reception; and the difference between a wedding and a marriage. We have no idea of the symbology, nor the history of many of the traditions.

Father's giving away the bride? Seriously, is there anything more medieval and anti-woman than that? Veils?

:puke:

Thanks for posting that.

More people need to see it, and "Modern Bride" and every other pile of shit culture-destroying 'bridal' magazine should be forced to print it in great big letters on the cover of every issue.

My partner (female) and I (male) *both* have engagement (or commitment, whatever one wants to call them) rings. I could not, in any good sense of honor or ethics or conscience, ask her to wear one if I didn't, and we don't wear them to remind people that we're each others' property, either - we wear them to remind us of each other, and as a sign of commitment to one another.
