~No veils, no engagement ring - and don't DARE try to give me away
~Brides are increasingly shunning traditions surrounding weddings
~Choosing not to have engagement rings or wear white on the day
~Almost a quarter plan to keep their maiden name after marriage
~19% agree aspects of traditional weddings are 'anti-feminist'
~But 76% still want to be walked down the aisle by their father

The image of a veiled bride walking down the aisle on her father's arm could become a thing of the past as a growing trend for 'feminist weddings' has been detected among modern brides to be.

Doing away with the engagement ring, choosing not to be 'given away like property' and wearing a colour other than white are key themes gaining traction in the feminist wedding trend.

The findings, revealed in a survey of 200 brides to be, revealed that almost a quarter of women planned on keeping their maiden name after marriage, while one in 10 were planning to wear a colour other than white on their wedding day.

Traditions such as the wearing of an engagement ring are also increasingly being rejected by brides who feel it is anti-feminist - with such an obvious token to be worn on the finger marking the woman in question as 'taken'.

The tradition of wearing a veil is being similarly rejected, as some women believe it plays into the idea that a woman is 'revealed' to her husband as the virgin bride (though actually the use of a veil is steeped in history and has very different significance across multiple cultures).

However, while there is undoubtedly a stirring among young brides to be, parents can take comfort in the fact that while some women are beginning to push back against the patriarchy, the majority are still keen to uphold certain traditions, with 76 per cent of brides saying they really would like their father to walk them down the aisle.

feminist wedding?

it sounds almost like an oxymoron - so feminists do actually marry? that's a big laugh!!! no engagement ring? well, that saves me a fortune....

keeping their maiden name? why marry at all then? isn't marriage supposed to be 2 becoming one? this is the most hilarious article ever. feminists are confused!

Mumu peeps! Shouldn't their mums be walking them down the aisle?

good news... ,means that they can fund the wedding

wow...

biolabee: good news... ,means that they can fund the wedding

can they? you mean a feminist would buy herself a ring worth her 6 month salary?

So what's left of the "wedding".

Bullcrap

Welcome development

Why even marry just cohabit, Cos marriage is even anti feminist

dayokanu: Welcome development

that's why i said it's an oxymoron.....they want to keep their maiden name because answering their hubby's name is antifeminist. meanwhile, the maiden name is their father's last name which is also patriarchal!

see how confused these women are....

Waiting for the NL feminist opinion on this

Ileobatojo where are you?

Ileobatojo where are you?

ileobatojo cannot be married and be a feminist. she's married so she isn't a feminist. she just aspires to be one but it's too late for her.

I didnt know Ileoba was married oo.

So how does it feel answering a mans last name, Cooking for a mere man, Being under while he pounds away, being called a Mrs, Having a man open the door for you(like you cant do it for yourself), buying you ring and other anti feminist ideas

Some women are taking this feminism to too far!!
This is actually crazy

I would have kept mine but the name long no be small.

movie ?

ileoba, are you not one of them? when i said your feminism is the mgbeke type, you wanted my head on a plate. i think we now know who the real feminists are unlike the ones puffing their chests on NL.

yiboboy: Mumu peeps! Shouldn't their mums be walking them down the aisle?

Stori stori..

You did justice to pun by the op. Feminists are pretenders hiding behind female, shooting in dark hoping to make a hit. How sarcastic this sounds.

Eh? Film

[size=13pt]76% of Feminists still want to be walked down the aisle by their father?

What happened to their mothers walking them [/size]

It beats me why humans just like causing confusion. We were created as tribes and as if that was not enough, people started creating religion. As if that was not enough, women started asserting themselves in the most stup1d ways. As if that's not enough, one day we'll have children fighting for their rights from their parents. Kai.

what is a feminist?
what is fem-nazi?

i'm confused oh.

Friends for benefit is a cheaper option.

That makes life fun. If everything were perfect how will life be? Boring!

So enjoy life bro.
