103: Why It's Powerful & Easy To Question The Default in Weddings with Ashlee Bunney
Can you remember a time when you felt left out of a group? Maybe your friends got together and you weren’t invited, but then you saw them post a photo on socials, or you weren’t chosen for a sporting team or a project even though you know you would’ve been brilliant.
It stung, didn’t it?
As simplistic as it is, inclusivity in weddings can be as easy as allowing everyone to feel seen, valued and welcome.
I know you’re kind, but also, you don’t have a lot of spare time. You’d love to be an ally but also don’t want to have to take a short course on it. Right?
Today Ashlee is going to share:
- what the gendered language and terms are in weddings,
- why weddings need to evolve away from the default, and
- how you can challenge norms to make your wedding more inclusive.
