Nude Wedding

Nude Wedding

Nude weddings are weddings that may include the couple, bridal party, and/or guests involved with the wedding being in the nude. Participants may choose this style of wedding because they are committed to their nudist lifestyle, or just an average couple that want a different and unusual kind of wedding. Though nude weddings have occurred throughout history, the first documented nude wedding was celebrated in Elysian Fields, California in 1942. Since this event, the number of nude weddings being performed has risen across the globe.

Nude weddings may be clothing optional, that means that the wedding couple is nude while the guests may come nude or dressed at their own discretion, or clothes-free with the wedding couple and all the guests naked. There are over 270 clubs in America that are clothes-free or clothes-optional, and some of these serve as locations for nude weddings.

In China a word that may be transliterated as 'Nude wedding' has come to mean a simple, low budget, wedding, not involving the purchase of a house, car, wedding rings, and so on. Such weddings have become more popular in recent years. The term does not literally mean a nude wedding in the primary sense of this article.
