Until recently, a wedding was no place for reinvention everything from the location to the outfits to the language of the ceremony was decided by our particular cultures, religions and social expectations of gender and domestic roles and of course, many of us were unable to get married at all. Now gay marriage is legal in Britain heterosexual couples can have civil partnerships we can get hitched in a yurt or a cave or on a rollercoaster.But the old traditions die hard, and despite these apparent new freedoms, the word &lsquowedding&rsquo still retains so many connotations, controlling our imaginations in ways that can feel alienating or limiting. When it comes to the &lsquowedding poem&rsquo, even a Star Trek themed do, with guests in bumpy skullcaps, can still translate the same old Shakespeare sonnet into Klingon.This anthology aims to shake that up, featuring poems you won&rsquot find on any &lsquolists&rsquo in your frantic Google search. Alternative poems for alternative weddings, be they small, huge, camp as Christmas, hilarious, glamorous, shotgun, a third wedding held in a nursing home, or the lowkey but profound culmination of a fortyyear love. If you&rsquore looking for a noncringey wedding poem, or want to be reminded of the multiplicity of love, this is the book for you.
