A girl I know is doing this soon.

Am I the only one who thinks: This is hilariously tacky?

I also feel uncomfortable about this from a feminist perspective but can't quite articulate why, would appreciate the views of others!

Part of me really does like this idea.......
Think of the photos for your grandchildren

Dunno, I didn't get it off Mumsnet, I made up my mind myself. Each to their own.

"A girl I know is doing this soon."

Do you mean a child's party?

"My take on feminism is that it the freedom to choose what you want"

This idea seems prevalent on mumsnet - where on earth does it come from?

Piffpaffpoff · 04/02/2013 10:44

My take on feminism is that it the freedom to choose what you want - and if that involves making (IMO) a total tit of yourself at Disneyland, then go ahead and enjoy your freedom of choice. I would also enjoy my freedom of choice to think that it's a hideous idea, but there you go.

she doesnt share your feminisit issues.... but she is getting her dream?

good on her i say... also good on those that get married at the rugby club or football club or swimming pool or stables....

you should be allowed to get your dream.... now if it were someone elses dream forced upon her without her permission or input.... that would be a different story IMO

It wouldn't be my choice either but it's really none of your business. If it's the way she's dreamed her wedding would be, who are you to rain on her parade?

In my opinion it is tacky. But my opinion means jack shit to her, Im sure. Same as she may well have hated my wedding.

If we were all the same, how dull the world would be.

Some people have a dream of how they want their wedding to be... not my thing, but good luck to them.

With weddings I think it's each to their own. Yes to me that wedding sounds very tacky but if that's what she wants....

I think my problem with the 'princess' thing is that it's very passive and is a poor example for girls to aspire to i.e. waiting for a prince to come and 'rescue' you.
