Maybe some fashion designer could start a trend for brides to wear that instead of those gawdawful costumes so many women wear now.

My wife and I went to a wedding at our church yesterday. The bride was the pastor’s daughter, so he was wearing multiple hats: he did the usual pre-ceremony announcements, then walked to the back so he could walk the bride down the aisle, then he went up onto the podium to officiate. Then he came back down to walk with his wife as the parents-of-the-bride in the processional. (Obviously he skipped the traditional line, “Who gives this woman to be married to this man?“, although it would have been funny.)

My wife was among several women who noted that her gown was very modest and understated. That’s refreshing because the gym isn’t the only place a lot of women dress like whores. (h/t to Shane Gillis)

It was a little unusual in that they deviated from the sequence of events laid out in the “Book of Common Prayer” that has been in use for centuries, but the deviations were stylistic rather than substantive. What stuck out was that he actually delivered a short sermon about the vows rather than just reciting them. He turned to the groom and spelled out his obligations as the husband in Christian matrimony, including the requirement to lead his wife. Then he turned to her and spelled out her obligations, specifically including her duty to follow and obey her husband.

Then we had cake. I warned my niece about that, though: I told her that wedding cake causes women to put on twenty pounds. Then my wife said the line about how a women eating wedding cake is like pulling the ripcord on an inflatable raft.
