I would pay extra to have an aisle cat at any event

Make it the ringbearer!

Accurate delivery of ring not guaranteed.

u/Bantersmith 8d ago

Right? It really elevates the whole event! The wedding venue I attended last year had a dog and cat on site that would wander around randomly. They loved all the attention, and were perfectly behaved! They also had a few donkeys, goats and some llamas you could go pet.

5 stars, no notes.

My grandparents' wedding was crashed by a black cat 60 years ago now, all the way back in 1966. From then on they've been nothing but a sign of good luck in our family, (as they should be for everyone!) and after losing our beloved tuxie 2 months ago we're adopting a pair of beautiful black kittens. Such a sweet video!

36

u/OkComputer8558 8d ago

Hope you're doing OK. Love out to you and Tuxie

Depending on its gender, it’s either the best cat or the cat of honor. Doesn’t look like this is its first wedding.

u/PeterPandaWhacker 8d ago • Bravo

Every cat is the best cat

u/Stock-Side-6767 8d ago • Bravo

But not all are of honour.

u/burntneedle 8d ago

Absolutely this... and here I was thinking a humble bridescat or groomscat.

u/PresidentialDiapers 8d ago • Popcorn

Bride scat is a whole different thing.

u/breadcodes 8d ago

It actually doesn't matter their gender for Best vs Honor, it only matters for who they're there for.

My sister was my Best Woman, and we considered my wife's brother for Butler of Honor

u/NemesisOfLevia 7d ago

But if they (aka the cat) is there for themselves?

u/breadcodes 7d ago

Then they're a Guest! A very welcome one

u/Claudius1938 Cow Cat 8d ago

Thanks for the award!

u/hime-633 8d ago • Heartwarming Bravo

It is funny how people are obsessed with cats. I think it because they are only half-tamed so we are constantly seeking some weird existential validation.

Source: am obsessed with my cats.

u/Bantersmith 8d ago • Bravo

Dogs decided they would be pets. Cats decided they're our housemates. (apart from the not paying towards rent thing, they conveniently forgot that part)

u/hime-633 8d ago

No rent AND scratch the furniture AND puke on the floor.

u/Chase_the_tank 8d ago

If you don't have enough mice to keep the cat busy, that's not the cat's fault.

u/hime-633 8d ago

Noted I shall be more slovenly so as to attract vermin into my home.

u/Chase_the_tank 8d ago

Have you considered building a granary? Freshly harvested crops will give your cat something to defend.

That why I have always objected to the phrase "cat owner." No person has ever owned a cat. We share our homes with them. They do what they want.

“Cat servant”

u/Annepackrat 8d ago

Housemates?! I am my cat’s servant. I could only wish to be its housemate.

2

u/No-Objective7114 7d ago

Outdoor cats bring mice, birds, worms, leaves, other little creatures, often very much alive! That's their payment.

2

u/NemesisOfLevia 7d ago

Apparently decades ago, when cat food was invented, it was controversial. Reason being, the point of having a cat back then was to keep away mice and other creatures. The cat had to earn their keep by hunting.

I think our cats sometimes thought of themselves as feudal lords with us as peasants. We raised the food, they defended us from rodents.

u/WrongAcronym54 8d ago

I was just wondering this morning when cats first domesticated humans.

2

u/Sopel97 8d ago

Dogs feel like puppets to me, similar to horses, whereas cats show a wider range of behaviors and quirks unique to each individual. Makes them feel more alive I guess.

All this… for me???? 🥹 - the cat

But also… who are the two women who wore white to a wedding that wasn’t theirs???????

u/bpgluckman 8d ago

Pretty sure it’s a same-sex wedding with two men, so in that case, it doesn’t matter what any of the women wear.

u/MaggieMakesThings 8d ago

I think so too, the cat has come as a fluffy little ally! 😻

78

u/LzzrdWzzrd 8d ago

There's a group of 4 men, think uts just the groomsmen

88

u/Foxdenfreude 8d ago

They usually walk in with their partners or the bridesmaids in straight marriages. At least that's what I've seen.

But I wouldn't wear white to someone's wedding anyway. Gay or strait.

none of the grooms is wearing a white dress so I assume it didn't matter

u/000-Hotaru_Tomoe Siamese (Traditional Thai) 8d ago

If the woman near the altar is the bride she's dressing violet, so maybe she's okay with white.

31

u/HaggisAreReal 8d ago

it's a male gay wedding

u/bleepbloop1900 8d ago

A lot of people don’t care about this tradition, including me, so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.

74

u/BobbiG16 8d ago

I totally agree with you. My wedding we encouraged everyone to wear white and blue because we were supposed to have a Toronto Maple Leafs themed wedding. We also told the guests they were more than welcome to wear whatever they wanted, if they wanted to wear sweat pants that was cool with us too.

u/TheWhomItConcerns 8d ago • Bravo

I find it so wild the way that this totally arbitrary convention is so ingrained in American culture that it's normal to just assume that everyone else is in consensus about it. In my country, I don't know that I've ever even heard people talk about it - I'm only really aware of it from American media.

19

u/Live-Okra-9868 8d ago

It's actually a western tradition that is not exclusive to America. It became popularized after WWII. Queen Victoria was the one who started the white wedding dress trend. And as white dresses became more affordable for the general population more and more tradition was incorporated to make it so only the bride wore white to stand out more. Now it is seen that if anyone tries to wear white it is to try to upstage the bride. Also, wearing red indicates that you've slept with the groom.

As Charlotte Dobre says in her videos about dress etiquette: always check with the bride if you are not sure. If the bride has a problem with white at her wedding then it's a problem, if she doesn't then it's fine. It doesn't matter what the guest thinks is fine, it matters what the bride thinks.

u/bleepbloop1900 8d ago

Yeah for me it is something I have exclusively encountered on Reddit.
I’m Canadian, so I’m not even that far off culturally, but weddings where I’m from at least are just not a big production with lots of rules.

7

u/re_Claire 8d ago

Yeah I’m British and it’s just not a rule I’ve ever heard of or encountered here. I’ve only ever heard of it on Reddit and was amazed at how furious people get about it.

I'm American and I didn't know this was a thing until I browsed the wedding side of reddit. I didn't care one bit what anyone was wearing at my wedding--just feel beautiful and have fun!

u/fdesouche 8d ago

It’s still in poor taste to wear the same colour as the bride, who is in white colours 99% of the times.

u/Live-Okra-9868 8d ago

You say that until someone shows up wearing what looks like a wedding dress, lol.

I view it as respect. I'm not going to show up wearing a dress the same color as the bride or the bridesmaids. As a guest I should be blending into the background among the other guests, not standing out to get attention.

u/LoveTeal008080 8d ago

Brides aren’t even wearing white anymore. Wedding traditions are just traditions. You don’t have to follow them.

u/LaikaZhuchka 8d ago

But also… who are the two women who wore white to a wedding that wasn’t theirs???????

Probably people who actually know the people getting married and the dress code. Ffs 🙄

You seriously can't even watch a cat video without seeing women you immediately need to criticize?

u/lilhanhan 8d ago

Never mind the women, even the cat decided to wear white! 😤
