A New 'Bridgerton' Trend Is Happening At Weddings, And After Seeing It Firsthand I'm All In On This Being A New Tradition

Ah, it’s wedding season! When you’re in your twenties like I am, you’re practically guaranteed another wedding to attend every year, so I’ve been to a lot in the past few social seasons, as one might put it in "Bridgerton" speak. And the most recent union I went to actually had a little nod to one of the best shows on Netflix, and they are not alone. It’s apparently becoming a major trend for couples to be inspired by the regency-era series.

While I was at my cousin’s wedding earlier this month, as we were waiting for the ceremony to begin, an orchestral version of Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O' Mine” played over the speaker and for a moment I felt I was in an episode of "Bridgerton." The series has become famous for popularizing orchestral covers of pop songs, and now more and more weddings are apparently adding these kinds of songs to their ceremonies.
