Weird Weddings

Hedonism and Nudity Replace Tradition

In a world where anything goes, outlandish and even bizarre choices are seen in just about every aspect of daily life including weddings. A growing number of couples are taking a minimalist approach (at least when it comes to their clothing), opting to be married in the nude. And that's just the beginning! Couples can participate in nude, group wedding at resorts such as Hedonism or if they prefer, they can reserve their nudity for photos only.

Implications - Herdonism III's fourth annual Group Nude Wedding says goodbye to tradition and hello to an alternative style of wedding that goes full frontal. Open to the public, the nude beach weddings call for nude guests, bridal parties and minsters.
