A feminist wedding? What next, a vegan hunting trip?
As for wedding ceremonies, I'm totally open to eschewing anything and replacing it with more modern social practices. My sisters had traditional weddings, and they seemed so awkward, rehearsed, and phony. This is mainly because we're non-religious, I suppose, but that's what I took away from them. It's not just weddings. Traditional practices seem a thing of the past these days. I blame the Internet.
I find things like the garter tossing to be cheesy.
Just do what you think is fun....but stay classy. Remember: it's your day.
As for me, I was married once, but it was a "procedure" with a justice of the peace. That marriage was a sham and it ended in less than a year.
Currently? My SO and I don't believe in marriage.
