you’re right…nobody should care what anyone else does…but life doesn’t work that way, does it?
there are many things considered taboo in our culture and we have not completely shed all of those conceptions; it may take another couple of centuries before we do.

in the meanwhile we will have people in our extended social circle (and this is the group that will be coming to our weddings) that, though respected by us for other reasons, don’t necessarily share the same values. obviously we can’t always surround ourselves with people that have the same perspective. some of these folks will judge us based on what they see or hear at our event since it is understood that nothing can take place there without our express consent.

this judgement is what the previous generation fears…at least I think that’s what it is.

should anyone care? I don’t know.

if I know that my neighbour’s daughter tends to skip school and hang out at the mall will I want my daughter to keep company with her? Likely not.

Um but we’re adults, not kids skipping school, and are allowed to make our own decisions in life.

I don’t care what people think I do, especially at my wedding. Both me and my bf are paying for it and will do as we please. Both of our parents are moderate so they don’t care.

As for our guests - they certainly don’t have to come if they don’t want to, nor do they have to stay if they find something they don’t like. The people who love us irregardless of if we dance, kiss, hold hands, are the only ones we care to have there anyways.
