Summary

Save The Date Wedding Podcast Q&A Thursday is my favorite time of the week because I get to share your stories and questions and hopefully help you out of a conundrum or two along the way! This episode I look at cultural appropriation at weddings…eg when a person takes something that has cultural significance from another culture for their own use and in the process lacks understanding and respect of the significance behind that thing has….you get me? Look, it’s basically (and this is very un-PC)… white people taking everyone else’s ideas but removing the meaning behind these activities. Looking good without the meaning. Boo to that.
