Very Revealing!

For the majority of brides, the dress is a big deal. For most it's top of the priorities list and they cannot rest until they have the one that fulfils their dreams.Then follows months of dieting and exercise regimes so they can actually fit into it because they ordered it two sizes smaller than their normal size. Stress, body issues, unhealthy obsession on how they are going to look on the day while completely forgetting how they are going to be-WHO they are going to be. The dress is given more attention and reverie than the act of marriage.

What's a good solution? -Lose the dress!

I can't help but feel that the couples who choose to have nudist weddings are leaps and bounds ahead of the rest. Their focus is absolutely on their decision to marry and to stand there, together as transparent as the day they were born seems to be so fitting.

"Couples who get married in the nude are closer to God, the universe, divine energy, said Rev. Jo Ann Pessagno "Their emphasis is on the ceremony and the words as opposed to the flowers, the place cards, what kind of wine they're serving, what kind entrees, desserts.Nude weddings also remind couples that their lifestyle is about love and acceptance above all else.''

And, as one groom said "nudism is a great equalizer. You are the same as everyone. You're not wearing anything that would separate you from anyone else."

I am intrigued.-I'm not saying that I could do it but actually-I'd like to go to a nudist wedding because I bet the atmosphere would be something else. It's extreme, yes-but in a very positive, peace inspiring way. Anything that strips things back to basics has purity at it's heart and a need and desire to reveal the truth of what lies beneath.

You can't suddenly become a nudist-(or may be you can?) but you can follow that train of thought. Instead of shrouding yourself in in a mask of make-up, uncharacteristic wedding hair and a dress that makes it's entrance before you do, let yourself be seen in as pure a light as possible. Keep your decoration simple and authentic and though you may not literally stand there naked before your partner and all your guests, you will be close as possible with your clothes on.
