Times have changed. We no longer wait until we get married to consummate a relationship. In fact, we'd consider ourselves restraint personified if we made it to the third date without a little bit of rough and tumble.
We see couples who have only just met have sex on live TV and don't bat an eyelid. Not to mention the constant stream of near-naked celebrity posts on social media that we are bombarded with on a daily basis.
So really it was only a matter of time before we took the virginal and demure white wedding dress and transformed into a kinky, barely-there slip of a dress.
We may not be rushing out to buy one anytime soon, but it wouldn't hurt to take a look at this bold, new trend, now would it? Keep scrolling.
We love a good wedding.
I mean who doesn't? If nothing else it's a good excuse for a party and buying a new dress.Picking the perfect venue.
Should you go with a traditional church wedding? A regal castle? Or play it safe with a registry office and an intimate restaurant? Decisions, decisions.Choosing a caterer.
And of course, all the free tasting sessions that go with this laboring task. How any bride fits into her wedding dress on the big day, we don't know!And the wedding cake.
Why not go a little non-traditional and choose a cheese cake? As in a cake made of cheese rather than a cheesecake.The all-important question; DJ or band?
A DJ is more versatile but a band is oh so cool. Unless your husband to be is a secret swing fan.Sending out those sought-after invitations.
No honey you can't invite your entire college football team. I am letting you invite your mom aren't I? Count yourself lucky.Choosing your rings.
Men never seem to grasp the importance of this task. Not only does the ring symbolize your everlasting love for each other, but it is essentially a piece of jewelry that we will be wearing every day for the rest of our lives. It must be perfect.And of course the obligatory hen and stag parties. Naked butler anyone? They are on offer 241.
More like hen and stag getaways nowadays. The last night or week of freedom when you are required to drink yourself stupid, wear a penis as a hat (that one's mostly for the bride) and wake up with a head full of regrets. And a renewed sense of love for your soon to be significant other.The anticipation of the dad dancing.
We all know and love a relative that dances like this. Their enthusiasm is somewhat undermined by their terrible moves and rhythm.We love a Royal Wedding too.

Ooh, don't get us started on a Royal Wedding. The day that Meghan married Prince Harry will be forever imprinted on our minds. Long live the Queen.Not to mention a glam celebrity one.
Who could forget Justin and Hailey Bieber's beautiful wedding?Even if it's a bit of a car crash.
Who could forget the slightly awkward pics of Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's nuptials? The bride looked spaced and don't even get us started on Billy Rae!And how could we forget the most important element of any wedding?
No not the groom. The bride's wedding dress. The dress that should make every woman feel like a princess.There are plenty of mainstream styles to choose from already.
Like the figure-hugging fishtail option. Perfect for creating the illusion of curves if you don't really have any. The next one's a classic...The ballgown.
The most popular wedding dress style, this design is guaranteed to make you feel like a princess on your big day. It also hides a multitude of sins!Strapless for those blessed with slim shoulders and toned arms.
Another popular style, a strapless gown is a great way to show some skin when you have chosen a full-length dress.And our personal fav, the sweetheart neckline design.
It's in the name really, isn't it? Who doesn't want to look like a sweetheart on their wedding day. Plus they are just so flattering.But there have been mixed reactions to the latest trends...
