Who else thinks “sexy” wedding shower games are strange?
I’m not expecting a wedding shower this time around, and as a consequence, I am spared the bizarre rounds of public humiliation that pass on Pinterest as “shower games.” Has anyone else noticed these games? And the number of them that circle around “naughty” ideas? I understand that some of these come from our socio-cultural anxiety surrounding the traditional fact that a wedding is when a virginal girl becomes a sexually experienced woman. But the “naughty party games” feel like a different thing… as if they’re designed to be specifically humiliating.
I’m an asexual bride… Here’s how my asexual marriage works
People who know me know that I’ve never had any interest in sex. So when my fiancee and I declared that we were getting hitched, we got a lot of strange looks and a lot of probing questions.

It’s a cute enough concept (especially if you’re poly and need some sexy shots for your couples-seeking personals ad) but bitches, we need to talk: this is not actually a trend.
Deliver a quick love note at the altar
It’s a cute idea, right? Totally cute. That said, I don’t think my note would have looked like that at all. I think it would have looked like this…
Will living together really make our wedding night less special?
We’ve been dating for four years, moved across the country together — hell, we’ve even adopted a one-eyed kitten together. Personally, I think this situation is awesome.
