Wedding traditions we’d ditch

Last year was a very untraditional year for weddings…but they’re back in 2021.

Sooooo…should we use the break to update them?

A new survey asked people the wedding traditions they could do without…the results:

Should the bride promise to “obey” her husband?  No surprise here…50% say get rid of it…but only 38% of men agree, compared to 61% of women. 🤔

Should the bride’s family pay for it?  Looks like it…43% say yes and only 25% said no.

Should you avoid each other until the ceremony?  28% think it’s silly in 2021.

Should the bride should wear white?  24% think that’s outdated.

Should the bride’s father giving her away?  Only 14% say to eliminate it.

Should the bride toss the bouquet?  11% are sick of it.

Should the bride toss the garter toss?  26% vote no.

Should we throw rice or birdseed on the couple?  31% say stop doing that.

The two wedding traditions most people want to keeP?

The bride and groom’s first dance and the exchanging of rings…less than 6% would drop those from the nuptials.

Which one(s) would you eliminate?
