Ok so we all know how a heterosexual ceremony plays put the bride walks down the isle with her father and is handed off to her husband. Ect Well when two men get married how does the ceremony work? I'm sure there may not be a standard but how do you picture it. I can't see one man being walked down the isle to the other man. Just something I've been thinking about.
I think what makes gay marriage so fun is that there aren't any social conventions yet. We get to make them! It goes however you want it to go!
This brings up an interesting point. Maybe it depends on the couple, or maybe they choose who walks down the aisle, or maybe nobody does. It is very fun to speculate!
I plan to get married, but I will definitely not have a wedding. Finding someone special is always something that should be celebrated, and I encourage people to go out and have a good time with friends, but I don't have a desire to adhere to the same pointless traditional standard that has been pushed upon others for ages. I don't need an expensive white wedding to feel confident in my love for my future husband. I would much rather have a nice gathering with friends and spend all of that money on a beautiful vacation after. I don't usually have a birthday cake and streamers on my birthday either. Ice cream is far more superior. Mr. Tradition can keep his customs to himself.
Whatever you want. Tradition can be oppressive. Even if I were to marry a woman, I doubt I'd have a traditional ceremony. The concept of giving a woman away is sexist anyway.
The LGBT+ community has been breaking away from the norm since who knows when? Who says a wedding has to be involved?
I am somewhat of a traditionalist so I'd like to have a ceremony that incorporates elements of a "traditional" wedding. I suspect that in 50 years, the "Emily Post" of the time will have firmly created the "rules" for "gay weddings." Perhaps I am like this because for the longest time I thought I would ever get married and it seems that with each year that passes, that is less likely to be the case and I am willing to go all out and "usurp" the "God-given right" of heterosexuals to have a "normal" wedding.
