traditions that sometimes doesn't treat people equally, sexist vows, bridesmaids, religion, more sexism - instead, straight people [if they want to] can now show the world they are a legally bound couple who love each other, without the suffocating nonsense.

Traditions don’t mean modern marriage is bad. My marriage vows were equal on both sides, not sexist. Nothing to do with religion. Bridesmaids no different to Best Man and totally optional. Not suffocating at all. How bizarre!

Some people - ie - people who are not you - don't agree with you. Some people find marriage ceremonies quite suffocating - isn't it nice that we now have a ceremony that suits some people better.

Unfortunately I agree with JHB. A marriage ceremony can be whatever you want it to be. As can a marriage. My wife and I are completely equal, we didnt have anything religious, married in a registry office without bridesmaids or best man. No need for another option.

If a marriage ceremony can be 'whatever you want' maybe that's part of the problem with it.

Not sure I follow. Their argument was that marriage is religious and there are patriarchal connotations. But that's only true if that's what YOU make of YOUR marriage. Mine has neither. It's the people that are the problem, not the institution of marriage.
