I can see a Renaissance flair in the wedding attire, but I would definitely discourage couples from wearing anything too “costume-y” for a Mass.
Example: you could go with something like this with a matching veil and Renassaince-esque hairdo:
but not this:
FWIW: I had my wedding theme be “Traditional with Generic Celtic undertones”. For my outfit, I had a very traditional/basic wedding dress. But for the Celtic “flaire”, I had my hair put in many little braids (which were tied up in a bun), had flowers clipped in, and I wore a Celtic/Renaissance inspired headpiece:
And then we had our reception at an Irish pub in the city as part of that theme (as pictured).
Period costumes should stay in their respective situational events; the Mass is not one of them. BUT, that doesn’t mean you can’t use the theme for inspiration in your clothing, or that you can’t switch out to Renaissance attire and fun for the Reception. Perhaps that could be a good middle ground? I’m sure if you do more than the two minutes of googling I did for ideas, you’ll find some cool stuff out there to try out.
Call me naive for not expecting him to get this backlash. And while I agree that they have the right to ‘fight’ his ideas, I don’t see anything wrong with what he’s expressed. Antifa needs to get a life.
It IS possible to disagree with someone and remain civil at the same time.
People act like this because they think anyone slightly to the right is supportive and implicit in the so-called murder patrol of anyone not white, cis, straight, and/or male. They act radical because they have been brainwashed into believing radical lies.
people need to stop equating “college educated” with “intelligent”, there have been far too many incidents reported that expose academia as a cesspool for intellectual and political bigotry for y’all to be like “lol only college educated smarties like ME vote blue!!!”
