oh you re a feminist wedding skip to main skip to sidebar oh you re a feminist welcome to the unabashed and often too snarky musings of a feminist not willing to settle for anything less than equality showing posts with label wedding show all posts showing posts with label wedding show all posts thursday july 16 2009 worried about being a sweaty bride i was taking a hiatus from blogging but then i got this in an email from theknot and couldn t resist writing about it subject worried about sweating excessively on your wedding day botox is approved by the fda as a treatment for excessive underarm sweating when antiperspirants fail there are enough things to worry about on your wedding day sweat stains on your wedding dress should not be one of them really so theknot recommends brides to inject a toxin into their bodies so that they do not sweat on their wedding day god forbid posted by radical reminders at 11 08 am 4 comments labels beauty health wedding wednesday january 28 2009 the ring i feel like i ve been lying to you something big happened in my life a few weeks ago and i haven t yet shared it here dave and i have been together for 6 years and for the past 3 or so we ve been debating the pros and cons of marriage the pros included benefits like insurance adoption tax breaks status as next of kin and the other 1 400 legal rights given to heterosexual married couples in the united states the cons included the inequity of marriage and feeling like we didn t need to prove anything to anyone about our relationship we ve often felt like though we ve been dating and living together longer than many married couples we knew people didn t take our relationship as seriously since we weren t married that s bullshit but c est la vie then in october the connecticut supreme court ruled to equalize same sex marriage within minutes of reading the news my not at all political mother called and said so does this mean you and david will finally get engaged at the time i laughed it off but i knew she was right our families were jonsin for a wedding and for babies the wedding part we can handle the babies they d have to wait on though my brother and sister in law bought us some time by giving birth the the sweetest bundle of joy in the world judah over the summer dave and i got engaged january 1st besides being wonderfully happy to spend the rest of my life with the man i love i am also excited to have a whole new world of wedding hoopla to explore analyze and write about discussing weddings from a feminist perspective will prove challenging so here i ll start at a good place as any with the ever so important engagement ring dun dun dunnnnnn i think i figured out the formula to true marital happiness the size of the ring the size of his love for you right yea i didn t think so either but it s what they want us to believe the diamond industry is evil but my dad is a jeweler it s how he has made a living ever since we immigrated here from russia in the 90 s also my great grandmother and grandmother both passed away and left me beautiful antique stones i had little choice in the matter of a ring i was getting one no matter how much i protest the symbolism still i need to be honest here though i wanted to show off my dad s talents and craft i was very reluctant to wear a ring i thought it would make me a hypocrite and all my feminist friends would disown me for it i hate what engagement rings symbolize the ownership the insurance so he doesn t leave the conflict diamonds and everything else feminist finance mentions instead i wanted a massage chair this has been an ongoing conversation and i thought it unfair that i have to wear a symbol of ownership while dave got his dream guitar as an engagement present from me see now that you realize dave got a kick ass guitar all you couples that mocked our egalitarian relationship wish you d changed your tune i have always known i would get him his dream guitar when we decided to get hitched because we should each get something substantial not just me so i wanted a massage chair i wanted something expensive that i wouldn t buy for myself that i would love and use and appreciate something i couldn t wear on my finger something that didn t symbolize ownership something important to me i realize my economic privilege is showing here i apologize for this a massage chair was out of the question like i said my father is a jeweler an amazingly talented high fashion well respected jeweler i had to have a ring not just a ring but the ring not having one was out of the question so was the massage chair couldn t we just gem stone the hell out of the chair so if me wearing a ring was a nonnegotiable i would have a say in this ring my ring is absolutely gorgeous it s sparkly it s unique and most importantly it s meaningful the center stone was my great grandmother s and the work is that of my father i couldn t have asked for more from an engagement ring also dave is planning on wearing a wedding band throughout our engagement because my ring shouldn t represent i am taken while he is still not more the reason i love my feminist fiance but here s the catch my ring was a size too big so i am currently not wearing it while it is getting resized oh the horror the first words out of everyone mouth as soon as d and i told them we are getting married were congratulations let me see your ring or they d automatically grab my left hand and pull it towards them or they stick out their hand presenting their ring finger expecting me to do the same as if i m now a part of this exclusive girl s club at first before i can understand what was happening i would stick out my hand too when no ring was apparent their face would shift from excitement to disappointment and then to pity oh you poor thing they d think he doesn t love you enough to buy you a ring i never meant to offend anyone by not wearing my ring so i would quickly blurt out an apology and that it s getting resized they would let out a sigh of relief thank god they d think thank god he loves you as much as that ring cost him but they never said that to me instead they demanded send me pictures then i didn t to be completely forthright i only sent k a photo because she wouldn t let it go so what s with that what if i don t want to be part of this exclusive girl s engagement ring club what if my ring is incredibly special to me for so many reasons that have nothing to do with what the engagement ring symbolizes in america what if i want to show my ring off for what it means to me but don t know how because of so much that is tied to it what if engagement rings weren t linked to the amount of love the amount spent on the ring that s the exclusive girl s club i want to be a part of the one where love is judged by commitment honesty and mutual respect i ve found some of that on offbeatbride where i m meeting more and more women in my position sick of what weddings have become and ready to reclaim what truly matters ready to be as unconventional off beat non traditional and tacky as they want to be because it suits them and their relationships tip of the hat to you ladies and gents you re a pretty cool bunch i apologize for the extremely heteronormative and classist post i m sure there will be more to come while we plan our wedding edit i read feministing everyday but somehow and i have no idea how i missed jessica s engagement announcement check out her post and comment section lot s of good stuff that i am struggling with as well posted by radical reminders at 12
