Naturist Couple Trying to Arrange Ceremony

Hello! My FH and I are naturists, also known as nudists, and we are determined to have our ceremony in the nude.

Hello! My FH and I are naturists, also known as nudists, and we are determined to have our ceremony in the nude. We have a very strong community of fellow nudists who will be attending the wedding but have decided to have the ceremony and reception off the compound. Strangely, many of our family members have become really upset by this whole idea and we're not exactly sure how to deal with it. My FH and I do not want to make too many changes for others because this is our special day, and we want to only get married under our own rules and being naked is what we want! We said we would compromised that we'd only be naked during the ceremony and not the reception, but my family is starting to refuse not to come! Any advice on how to deal with unreasonable family drama?

    I'd be uncomfortable attending or actually wouldn't attend at all. If thats your thing ok, but you can't be so blind to see that is out of the norm.

    OP, you wrote, "My FH and I do not want to make too many changes for others because this is our special day, and we want to only get married under our own rules and being naked is what we want! " Fine then have your special day without your families -- the people who are "strangely" upset by the idea of naked flesh in all directions. You've made your choice.

    I never thought I'd find a single reason to decline to attend the weddings of my children. I just found it. Not on your life. If you're as open-minded as you'd like us to believe, you wouldn't consider doing this to your families.

    Will you please answer E-Tex -- will there be children invited to this wedding or participating in any way?

    I'm going back to good old days of fighting over cash bars and firing bridesmaids.

    Lol I'm assuming this is not real and you are just messing with people. Based solely on the way you wrote the post. Strangely people are upset and not wanting to be weird NY not having nipples. Either way, this is hilarious

    This is not unreasonable family drama... You have to choose: family/friends or your way of wedding

    So this actually isn't too farfetched of an idea; at least occasionally in Wicca and some branches of paganism, people will marryand worship skyclad (nude). However, there are plenty of people who are still not comfortable with that (myself included), so they wear robes to cover themselves.

    OP, assuming you're not an elaborate troll, would you be willing to compromise with robes for the comfort of your family? You can find or make something lightweight, maybe silk, so it's airy to the touch and still lets you feel in touch with nature.

    A double ring avatar with one star coming at us with all that? Yeah, this is just weird, but probably the funniest trolling post on WW.

    ^^I'm impressed with the creative scope of the two posts; but, feel that OP is lacking in responsiveness. She tends to bail after the first few comments. Hopefully, she will be back - I need to kill the next hour and a half at work.

    If you want to be naked be naked, go for it! However "projecting" your views unto your family when you don't want to change is being hypocritical. You don't want to change for them, expecting them to change for you is just as bad. Granted its lovely to celebrate with family but sometimes it just isn't in the cards.

    I'm technically not allowed to link it, but it was bumped around an hour ago and has to do with engagement parties

    Only a small margin of people would want to see that.

    Are you trying to host your ceremony somewhere where this would be legal? In my state it wouldn't be. You can be naked all you want inside a nudist resort, but not outside of one. I would give up my nudist wedding before I would risk having my wedding interrupted by the bride and groom being arrested.
