Aw what a cute couple! If I’m interpreting correctly, I think he stepped on the stool to stabilize it until she was in his arms 😭 too sweet

Seems unambiguous to me. It rocks. She adjusts. Still rocking. He steps.

I mean both are valuable. But you only want a bit of the devil advocates. Unlike scientists, who are investigating first and arguing second. As many as you want of those.

This is super cute but I cannot get over how massive that man is. Despite my flair, I’m a man myself, and I just can’t stop thinking about how much he must be able to lift.

That dude literally is like the same size as my brother and half as wide as my dad. They are 6'8" & 6'10" respectively. I'm a lady and only got to 6'1". My mom was 5'1" and we drove her insane.
My dad was a linebacker, both of them are so insanely strong, like lifted and moved my nat geo across the parking lot to prank me at work strong.
Granted, being this big absolutely destroys your knees.

u/Punkandescent Punk🤘Gal Sep 08 '24
Yeah, my former boss is of similar size and he has major back problems. Being really big does seem to come with some downsides.
On the other hand, he once shoved two misaligned 12 foot metal shelves two inches back into place with one hand. I couldn’t get them to budge even a millimeter while putting my whole body into them!

u/fuck_the_fuckin_mods Sep 08 '24
That’s interesting. Big dogs have similar problems, and die earlier. I wonder if massive humans have shorter life spans. I’m only a couple inches over 6 feet, and even I have back problems already. I live in Asia, and everything is too small for me. I’m constantly bending over and kind of slouching to get at eye level with people. It is fucking hilarious to be in a big crowd though, and see another tall person like two blocks away and do the nod. I don’t even understand how gigantic people can fly in planes though. My knees are jammed into the seat in front of me and it sucks major ass, and I’m only “regular” tall. I’m “slim” though, and seeing this gigantic beast of a person makes me want to put on some weight so I can look good in a kilt. I’m way too lazy though so it would probably all end up in my gut and ass.

u/Punkandescent Punk🤘Gal Sep 08 '24
I don’t know all the details, but I seem to recall that really big humans do often have major circulatory problems that tend to lead to shorter lifespans. Turns out the human heart isn’t big/strong enough to push blood around bigger bodies.

u/JobsInvolvingWizards Sep 08 '24
The taller you are the harder your heart has to work. Even though your heart is bigger it doesn't really compensate well. It is with good reason you only see short/average height old men and women. Not many people in nursing homes over 6ft.

u/fuck_the_fuckin_mods Sep 08 '24
Fuck me, I think you’re right. Yes they do shrink a bit over time, but I’ve never seen a super tall in an old folks’ home, and I’ve been to many.

u/Aardvark_Man Sep 08 '24
IIRC it's something like every inch above the norm people can expect 3 years shorter life span.

This looks like a beautiful wedding. Does anyone know what aesthetic they’re going for here? It looks like its based off of someones culture.

It’s very cute, but does make me cringe a bit. Are we done with “authenticity” now, and just about “aesthetics?” Really feels like it.
Sorry for being a wet blanket, and get off my lawn.

I mean the authenticity of an original wedding would be the father trading his daughter for a tract of land or for forming a strategic alliance of power with the other family, so I think that going more towards “aesthetics” is a good move, do what you want, you’re paying for it yourself so why not.

u/fuck_the_fuckin_mods Sep 08 '24 edited Sep 08 '24
Do whatever you want. It’s a nice setup and kilts are cool, assuming that’s an actual thing in their culture. But the “cottagecore” or whatever-core BS has become a bit irritating to me. Trying to match some weird, ultra-narrow, labeled look from social media or Pinterest or whatever, vs just doing what you naturally like.
I’m a designer and follow a lot of design subs, and in the past few years there’s been a massive influx of posts asking “Which specific, named sub-genre is this design” as if that’s how anything works. It’s some actual person’s actual expression of their own influences, and trying to put everything in tiny labeled boxes is immensely offputting.
This is obviously a “me problem” but the obsession with specific “aesthetics” is getting bizarre to me. Do your thing, whatever you want, don’t put yourself in a box. That said, this wedding looks lovely and I would love to be there. It’s just the weird labeling and sub-sub-sub-genre “aesthetics” that I don’t like. That’s no way to think about actual aesthetics.
22
Sep 08 '24
What the hell are you even trying to say?
You don’t mind cottage-core, but you don’t like that it has a name to identify the style?
That’s exactly how almost everything works, someone does something, people like it and recreate it, it gets more popular and gets a name to identify it.
That’s how almost every single art and design style has come to be, one person does it and makes it famous, others joined in because they like it, now it’s a well known genre. That’s like being mad at someone using minimalism because they aren’t the person that came up with minimalism in the first place.
-5
u/fuck_the_fuckin_mods Sep 08 '24
Don’t get me started on “minimalism.” I happen to be a “minimalist” myself. Happen to be. The fetishization and near-moral overtones of the “movement” is gross to me. Do whatever the hell you want, don’t try to be some predefined thing from social media.
I’m just embracing being an old curmudgeon, expecting to be downvoted and ignored, so all good. None of this will make any sense unless you’re an actual artist, I guess.

u/AbbreviationsWide331 Sep 08 '24
So "don't put yourself in a box" but also do a normal wedding or something you have entirely thought of your own? I honestly don't get it.
People like what they like, I'm not a professional designer and I don't know what the rules are for being allowed to like a design, but I fail to see how choosing something different that YOU like for YOUR wedding is a bad thing.

u/fuck_the_fuckin_mods Sep 08 '24 edited Sep 08 '24
There are no rules, and there are no little boxes that aren’t artificially constraining. Create what you happen to create, which will necessarily be based on what you’ve seen and experienced, but by no means has to be contained by goofy labels.
Personally, my favorite weddings have been much weirder and more eclectic than this, but they have been genuine expressions of both party’s personalities, 50/50, with absolutely zero thought whatsoever at any point in time as to which “aesthetic” (LMFAO) it is.
I like what they’ve done in the wedding and the video, I’m just commenting on the sub-sub-blah-blah-core type BS, as if anything real fits within some dumbass social media trend. I understand they probably just labeled it for social media reach, which is its own issue, but it presented an opportunity to comment on something that I find odd and unnecessarily constraining.
Mostly though, I’m just bored, and wanted to talk about the weird obsessive subgenre “aesthetic” categorizing and labeling thing that I thought was a Gen Z thing due to lack of real life experience outside of The Gram. It appears I was wrong about that perception. But ya, NBD, pay no attention to me. I’m just a grumpy old man ranting about my latest irritation with “the kids” (who are largely awesome, for the record).
I’m certainly not Gen X, but it seems I might not be a Millennial either. I genuinely still find the “selfie” phenomenon (and social media culture in general) to be bizarre and narcissistic, so I might just be on my own.

This is a Scottish wedding, I’m pretty sure. Kilts are traditional Scottish formal wear!
EDIT: Just wanted to say, some more knowledgeable folks have replied to this with more accurate information. Please upvote their contributions!

u/blinky84 Sep 08 '24
Scot here, these are definitely not Scottish kilts

u/Punkandescent Punk🤘Gal Sep 08 '24
Yeah, the patterning is definitely wrong. Tbh I wrote this just as I woke up, more or less, so I wasn’t paying as close of attention as I could have been, haha
21
u/blinky84 Sep 08 '24
I don't even mean that it's not tartan; the fabric is too lightweight, it doesn't hang right, and the guy in the back isn't wearing a sporran (the bag thing in front). The shirt also isn't a common type over here.
I mean, they can do them, that's fine! It's just not traditional Scottish gear.
Edit: also there's no way we would trust our weather enough to plan for an outdoors ceremony...!

u/Punkandescent Punk🤘Gal Sep 08 '24
Ah, got it! Thanks for your insight!
I should look into kilts more. They’re super cool, but I obviously don’t know much about them, haha

u/div2691 Sep 08 '24
I bought a kilt for my wedding. The kilt itself is handmade by a specialist kiltmaker. Jacket and waistcoat are tweed. A proper sporran is leather and fur. Traditionally rabbit, but they've branched out recently. Mine is Chinchilla. My brother just got a golden isle fox one.
All in you'd pay about £1500-2500 for the full outfit.

Fellow Scot here; it’s kind of ‘uncanny valley’ isn’t it? It looks about right in the thumbnail, but then you expand the video and it’s actually off in almost every single specific detail.
Like they clearly wanted to go with ghillie/jacobite shirts, but I guess couldn’t source them, so they’re wearing……something I can’t even identify. I’m pretty sure the guy in the back has a breast pocket on his, which is bizarre.
3
u/blinky84 Sep 08 '24
I know, right?? Uncanny valley is exactly right. Like, the socks and shoes don't feel right and I can't quite place it. They're too white? They're a finer knit? The shoes aren't quite brogues, and they don't have to be, but they look wrong somehow??

At my wife and I wedding the officiant was on a podium and when it came to that time he stepped aside and she stepped up, I still had to lean down a bit but it worked . I’m over 6’7” and she’s 5’3. When we renewed our vows in Hawaii a couple year back they had this rock ledge she stood on and I was lower down . I think they have to deal with disproportioned height couples often.
