About
Western patriarchal culture often remains hostile to a woman's attempts to deviate from the "traditional" wedding routine. Friends and relatives might expect her to set aside her convictions about equality for the sake of not causing a stir, even pressuring her to change her name if she had not planned on it. But there are women who have successfully incorporated feminist elements into their wedding, and there are other women who are planning to. This site exists to reiterate that fact and provide information and resources for those who are wondering if it is possible to have a feminist wedding and what it might look like. There is no one-size-fits-all, but a lot can be learned from those who have already paved the way.
