We’re celebrating all the wrong things in life. Instead of bridal showers, why not have new business showers?

With wedding season upon us, we will be shelling major money to celebrate people who’ve already hit the jackpo

"I want to celebrate my friends but I want to do it for their achievements that go beyond legally attaching themselves to someone to argue with over bins for the rest of their lives"

Since I got married 10 years ago, the landscape of nuptials has changed dramatically. And since our parents got married, the change has been seismic. Growing up, I was always very disappointed in reports of my parents’ wedding in the mid-1970s.

“Did Dad get down on one knee? Was it a long engagement?” I asked breathlessly. My heteronormative 1990s childhood meant I already knew what was what when it came to weddings.
