Womanless wedding

Okay kiddo, so you know how people usually have a man and a woman get married, right? Well sometimes, people like to have a bit of fun and switch things up by having a "womanless wedding". This means that instead of having a woman as the bride, they have a man dress up and pretend to be a bride!

This might seem silly, but it can be really fun for everyone involved. The man who dresses up as the bride usually wears a white dress, veil, and maybe even some makeup. The people who come to the wedding get to see something a little bit unusual and laugh at the funny sight of a man in a wedding dress.

Don't worry though, even though they call it a "womanless wedding", there are usually still plenty of women at the wedding. They might be bridesmaids, flower girls, or guests. Everyone can still have a good time and celebrate the love between two people, no matter who is wearing the dress!
