101: Weddings as Ritual, as Celebration (and as Systemic Sexism??!)
Episode 1
Wednesday, 10 November, 2021
In this episode I am joined by Heidi - wedding officiant and expert in theology and history. We talk about celebration, and break down the "interesting" history of wedding traditions and rituals. We discuss creating new meaning behind many of these rituals, and why or if they are important to us now. We believe that we simply don't celebrate enough in our lives - and how it would change the world for the better if we did. We also discuss: - how weddings became rituals and evolved over time - the Martha Stewart era of DIY weddings - difference between "stuff" and creating a memorable experience - ingrained sexism in wedding traditions - importance of rituals and traditions to celebration - shared values and your wedding rituals / traditions - impact of celebration on individuals, family, and community.
