Hmmmm, in terms of equality, I feel like my wedding was a "feminist." (Well, there was a strangely worded prayer at one point, but that's our fault, we picked it without reading it closely, lol)

I suppose it depends on your definition of feminism and what you want. for example, people have problems with dad walking daughter up the aisle because of the old symbolism. I didn't care about this nor did I feel like this symbolism applied to me. I wanted dad to walk me up the aisle. I had no feeling that I was "property" to be given away. Other people have problems with any talk of children -- since we want to have kids, I have no problems with that. It really depends on what you want, I suppose.

(I have heard of a lot of things, but never an AA-themed wedding. I wish you went so you could give a full report!)

In other news, how are you doing?
