Essential questions for modern brides
Why? 
Why get married in a church when you don't believe in any deity?
Why wear a white dress given all that it signifies?
Why get walked down the isle by one man to be given to another?
Why take his surname when he would have no intention of taking yours?
Why sit mute throughout the speeches?
(Oh and why spend £15,000 on a wedding when you could do it for 5?)
Why the f*** did Emily Davison jump in front of that horse again?
Why am I so damn obsessed with the way people get married*?
*Answer: Because I think it says so much about how a couple see themselves (gay or straight). It is a public statement and a highly significant event for other people as much as the betrothed, and I strongly believe that if you get it wrong it will haunt you for the rest of your life. But really, at the end of the day who am I to say anything, it's about choice isn't it.....
