In Popular Culture
Nude weddings are the norm in the fictional Betazoid culture in Star Trek because of their ability to see thoughts and emotions of others. This gift evolved their society into an open one, which allowed nude weddings to occur without the taboo element.
There are several novels, and books that include issues based on nude weddings such as the book published in 2000 entitled I Never Performed a Nude Wedding by Naomi Cherny. Cherny, who is a Justice of the Peace in the State of Massachusetts, has performed many weddings herself. In the book, she writes not only about wedding tips, but mentions unusual weddings such as nude weddings.
In the 1960s Irving Klaw-directed film Girls Come Too (also known as How I Became a Nudist) popular pin up model Maria Stinger marries her real-life husband Harry W. Stinger (known in the film as 'Dick Powers') in a nudist ceremony at a Miami nudist camp.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“O, popular applause! what heart of man
Is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms?”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
“The anorexic prefigures this culture in rather a poetic fashion by trying to keep it at bay. He refuses lack. He says: I lack nothing, therefore I shall not eat. With the overweight person, it is the opposite: he refuses fullness, repletion. He says, I lack everything, so I will eat anything at all. The anorexic staves off lack by emptiness, the overweight person staves off fullness by excess. Both are homeopathic final solutions, solutions by extermination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
