I get its not sexual but asking people who do not routinely practice your lifestyle to do something that out of the norm is not fair. If I were a lion tamer and asked you all to step in the cage for my wedding, would you accept? Extreme example I know.

They have the right to the wedding they want, but you have the right not to want to attend it if you feel uncomfortable. They should respect that, just as you respect their wish for their nude wedding. That they are angry with you makes them, well, lacking in the empathy department.

They must be Betazoid. Even Lwaxana Troi compromised! And trust me. You do not want someone with my health issues in the nude. You just don't.

The naturists and naturist resorts I know are all about free choice. It should be a choice to go naked. Not forced upon you. I know some naturists who took their children to a naturist camping site, where it was completely accepted for (especially) teenagers to wear some kind of clothing. That could range from swimsuits or similar to even jeans and sweaters. Because it should be choice. If it is forced upon you, it is considered harassment, especially by the naturist-organizations. Keep your wedding wherever you want, but accept that guests may come in some kind of clothes or even stay away, because not everyone likes to watch other people walk around in their nude either. Any way, om any naturist-resort, even full-out naturists will wear clothes every now and then, because it's no fun walking around naked when it's cold, when there's mosquito's, when there's a hail-storm etc.

I'm a nudist. Member of a resort, life member of AANR. The brother and his fiancée are completely out of line.

No way would I be naked in front of everyone. It’s icky that her brother and his fiancé want family to be naked

I love being outdoors naked and my local beach is a naturist beach. Being a naturist is definitely something you should choose freely and never be forced into. I was surprised that a naturist wedding would even be considered in the USA as I have found most Americans to be rather uptight about nudity, at least the ones who visit here are and usually complain about naked people in public. (there is also a naturist campsite nearby with public footpaths running alongside and through it.). I think it is totally reasonable for the sister not to want to go to a naturist wedding if she is not comfortable being naked or around naked people.

I'm really curious if there will actually be photos of the event. I have no idea about the rules of this naturist club, but here in a German sauna, it is imperative that no pictures are being taken ever, to protect the privacy of the guests. Imagine a photo book where everyone is naked.

Nope nope nope. No one who isn't a naturist, or at least naturist-curious, will want to attend that wedding. Even if you were a naturist, why would you want to be at an event with a lot of non-naturists all being awkwardly naked and uncomfortable? This wedding idea is bizzare.

Nope nope nope. Aesthetic issues aside (I'm middle-aged and rather, ahem, "fluffy"), my own personal modesty standards (nudity is for at home in private or when necessary for medical care) and comfort zone would not allow me to participate in this. You guys do you, but don't try to force it on a very much non-consenting party.

Show up with a chub

Number one, if someone asks you to do this, they are not your friend and number two, just don’t go.

Here's what a lot of people tend to forget: others don't have to "understand" why you will or will not do something. They simply have to accept it.

They shouldn't be surprised if very few ppl show up at the wedding. A lot of ppl aren't comfortable parading around naked or posing for pictures. Besides it's their choice on whether or not they want to go to the wedding. I personally would turn down the invitation. I'd be uncomfortable naked and grossed out too

Its always interesting to see what an entitled betrothed couple will demand.. but whats really amazing to me is how disconnected people are on how their reaction to "no" says everything about them. If someone flips out on you or gaslights because you said no, that person is not your friend and isnt worth a second of your time.

I'd go tbh, YOLO

Sounds very Betazoid(Star Trek TNG) to me. Most people aren't comfortable in their own skin at home, let alone at an event surrounded by nekkid strangers and, I hate to say this, but add getting drunk into that mix and you could have some potential problems if some of the groomsmen get handsy with the bridemaids. I'm told they are badly enough behaved at normal weddings where everyone is clothed. This is a disaster movie waiting to happen.

Why is this reposted, it was already on the other week?
