#TRENDING 5/03/23: New Wedding Rules for 2023 Include: No Outdoor Weddings

New "Wedding Rules for 2023" Include: No Outdoor Summer Weddings . . . No Kids . . . and No Gifts

 

We're closing in on wedding season . . . again . . . and so a magazine has come up with a list of "new rules" to make weddings a little less unbearable. 

  

Here's are a few of the "new rules":

  

1. No more engagement parties.

 

2. No outdoor summer weddings.

 

3. Your closest friends, not you, should control the guest list.

 

4. It is entirely fine to deny anyone a plus-one for any reason.

 

5. Never say “black tie optional.” Choose.

 

6. It is fine to skip a wedding for any reason, but RSVP early.

 

7. No kids. If kids are needed for the ceremony, a car should be waiting.

 

8. If you travel from out of town, you don't need to get the couple a gift . . . actually, all gifts should be banned.

 

9. It's fine if someone else wears white.

 

10. No one has to walk you down the aisle.

 

11. Give us a good kiss.

 

12. Posed photos are over.

 

13. Simplify the menu: Just make your vegetarian option vegan.

 

14. Speeches must be pre-written.

 

15. Dancing is mandatory for everyone able.

  

(Slate.com has the whole list.)

  

(This is not a list of trends, just a suggested list of new rules for modern, American weddings. Which do you AGREE with, or DISAGREE with?)
