Wedding Culture

The unofficial wedding season has begun. The month of June will certainly see its fair share of handsome grooms and blushing brides. Tonight on the Front Porch, we're going to take a closer look at American wedding culture. Tradition is nice, but it can also be overwhelming. We'll find out how couples can take control of their nuptials and keep the wedding industry from calling too many of the shots. We'll talk with Kamy Wicoff, author of I Do But I Don't: Why they Way We Marry Matters. Kamy also sits on the board of the I Do Foundation.

We'll also get a quick primer on New Hampshire's new law that will allow civil unions for gay couples. We'll find out what couples considering a civil union might need to know. We'll talk with Michele Granda, staff attorney at GLAD (Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders). The group recently released its guide to New Hampshire Civil Unions. You can download it here.
