'GQ' Magazine Promotes Do-it-yourself Weddings
GQ magazine ran an article for men titled "The only rule [about your wedding] is you have to say 'I Do.'" The editors for GQ add, "God will understand if you don't get married in a place of worship." They also exhorted marriage-age guys to take the following advice about planning their wedding day:
The modern wedding is a blank slate. You can finally marry whomever you want, however you want, and you're fully empowered to defy the wedding-industrial complex and skip all those dull, dutiful traditions. So don't just sit there while the bride and her mother plan everything. Get creative. You have a stake in this, man! Because you're not only the groom. You're the master of ceremonies.
