Drag queen at wedding

[wedding2021]

I'm considering having a drag queen sing at my wedding. What would you think if you were at a wedding and a drag queen had been booked to perform? Obviously they'd tone it down a bit with swearing etc.

Another no from me I'm afraid

No!

Jesus! Tacky af. No.

I hate drag.

Why not just hire a singer? Why does the singer have to be a man dressed up as a woman?

Go singing waiters.

These days I see men parodying women by dragging up like blackface. It's offensive to me, in all honesty.

Have a wonderful day, OP x

Drag act at a wedding ? Tacky.

Only you know your guests.

Now you've mentioned it, if I ever go down the wedding route again, I will be doing that or something similar. Great way to get around the no kids awkwardness. Sounds better than the speeches, the first dance, the cheesy music.

Doesn't have to be one or the other either really. Do all the traditional stuff and from 7 pm, for example, it's whatever. Comedian, clowns, Drag Queens, dancers, etc.

Or make it fair, hire a drag queen and king.

unless you are a gay male couple and into drag queens then no

Sexuality and Drag aren't exclusive to each other.
The entertainment we enjoy isn't tied to our sexual preferences either.

I do applaud you for your honesty.

If you think your own wedding is going to be boring I feel sorry for you.

Lily Savage? Go for it and can I come? Anyone else, no, not for me. But it's your wedding...

Well I’m one of the sourpusses who can’t stand drag......I’m sorry you’re going to find your wedding boring. I had a ball at mine!

I wonder why people bother with weddings if they find them 'boring'... Relying on the entertainment to add the excitement sounds rather like weddings have lost their way. Glad I got married in the olden days when 'favours' were a new thing in the UK and provider all the excitement needed.

• provided

I would be appalled to see blackface or womenface being done in public and a drag queen falls into the second category.

So offensive. It’s a no from me.

I love drag queens. But at a wedding? They'll probably try to steal your thunder....

Depends on the wedding though of course.

I’m waiting for the AIBU to be upset because the drag queen wore white at my wedding.

Adding my voice to the "it's cringy, tacky, and weird" posters. Please don't do this OP.

No. I'd leave at that point.

Omg are you insane? You’ll be upstaged by a bloke in woman face. Have some respect and love for yourself lady!

Disappointed. I thought the thread was going to be about a guest who unexpectedly arrived in makeup, wig, a short, fitted dress and killer heels, and upstaged the bride.

Good god some of these pp are horrific. You're 'offended' get a bloody grip!!

OP you need to think about if there would be anyone at your wedding who would hold the absurd views like the ones above. If so you are better off not doing it. Could you do it for a hen do instead?

If the guests are normal, decent human beings, then go for it. Do you have a drag queen in mind? It may be worth asking her what kind of drag performances she does e.g sing live, mime, comedy etc to make sure you're getting what you want out of it.

It's your wedding. Have a lovely time and ignore the ignorant horrible PP

I’d rather a live band, a steal band is lovely imo

If a drag queen is a man who acknowledges that he is a man dressing as a woman who are posters referring to the drag queen as ‘She’.

If the drag queen is a she then the drag queen is not a drag queen?

I’m confused

@MadamBatty you refer to them as a she when she is in drag... it's not difficult
