"This Is the Feminist Wedding Magazine We've Been Waiting For"

"Respectively self-described as a "progressive wedding coordinator" and "feminist wedding photographer," the pair are launching Catalyst, a wedding magazine aiming to open up the conversation and norms around modern weddings. 

"The wedding industry is for everybody," says Romeo in a video on the company's Kickstarter page (the campaign to fund the project ends this week). "The wedding industry needs people who are vocally feminist, who are vocally in favor of marriage equality, who aren't afraid to say, 'Let's expand this conversation and break down the myth of the perfect wedding.'"...

"Where to start?" Romeo said in an email, when asked about the flaws of current wedding glossies. "Heteronormative (some big mags won't even publish same-sex weddings, others reduce same-sex couples to footnotes or tokens), extremely white-focused, extremely class-blind (and all about spending), usually thin-focused (unless it's a "special" issue or article meant for heavy brides) and, of course, they are almost entirely marketed towards brides, versus couples getting married.""
