Tuxedos for Bridesmaids
With the fight for gender nonconformity getting stronger all the time, the picture below might soon be the new norm. We wonder what the groomsmen are wearing. Bridal dresses? That must have made a lot of noise and been a very strange sight. Is this good enough to be the new standard? We might have to in the name of progress and breaking down barriers between men and women. We have to think about how far we are willing to go and how far we are willing to go to close the gender gap. To be fair, these women do look great.
The Blessing of the Church
Let’s take a break from the beautiful blue dresses and talk about history. Surprisingly, people have been getting married since 2350 BC. In the past, this was how things were in Mesopotamia. As travel and trade became more important, the story moves on to marriages between Greeks, Romans, and Hebrews. Given how religious most weddings are now, it’s hard to believe that weddings have been going on for more than 2,000 years. Well, according to history, there was nothing religious about weddings. But in the 8th century, the Roman Catholic Church said that a marriage was not legal without the blessing of the Church.
