No plans to allow nude weddings, says UK justice secretary - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;46968640]I just don't particularly want to see anyone else's unsolicted naked body.[/QUOTE] I don't want to see anyone else's unsolicited political opinions but I have to deal with them every time I drive to work

I wanna marry a girl that wants a nude wedding. You know how much cash you'd save?

I honestly cant think of a single reason why this should be illegal. I mean, as long as its on private property, who gives a shit.

[QUOTE=smurfy;46968684]ITT everyone misreads the OP and confuses humanism, a branch of secularist philosophical thought, with the completely unrelated concept of nudism[/QUOTE] I honestly wasn't aware there was a distinction. The article continuously mentions nudity as the prime focus, and I've never heard of any religion or deeper philosophy behind the concept, aside from the general philosophy that being naked is rad (which is basically just naturism, which is also mentioned).

brings a new meaning to no shirt, no shoes no service

I don't see the problem. I'm going to avoid all possible puns and be rather adult about it. What's the difference in what clothing is worn to a celebration between two people committing to loving each other? If this was in a church or some type of public venue, yeah, I see how it could be forbidden by the church, but there are many private places where this should be legal. Even the courtroom should tolerate nudity if that's how the two choose to bind themselves. We all know what the body looks like, we all have one, we've seen others, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Most couples have seen each other naked and probably spent quite a fair time together in that state to the point where it seems absurd to deny them of their rights.

If they wish to reap the benefit of being in a civilization/society (security, accesss to necessities, respects, acceptance, ect), then they would have to abide by the social norms. If their wish of marrying nude outweights the benefit of the above, then they're free to do anything they like, but do it outside of that society territory, and don't expect the members of that society to accept them or their actions, or to receive the benefits that is provided by said society. In other words, they are free to do what they want. They only need to choose which consequence is more palatable to them.
