把它说得是庆祝活动，但感觉挺悲伤的，有点像青春最后遗迹的葬礼

On Feb. 6, Brittany Allyn donned a white Millia London bridal dress as she walked down the staircase at Hinwick House, a mansion in the English countryside, to the sounds of Johann Pachelbel’s Canon in D. On her wrist, she wore her “something borrowed,” a vintage silver diamond watch, and her hair hung in elegant, loose waves. Her 35 guests, which included family members and childhood friends, had traveled far and wide to celebrate with her.
The occasion? Ms. Allyn’s 40th birthday.
…
Initially, Ms. Allyn didn’t set out to plan a wedding-like celebration. But she quickly realized that many of the elements she wished to include, such as speeches from guests and a slide show of baby photos, felt like moments that happen at a wedding. So, Ms. Allyn decided, “‘Why don’t I just do all the things I’ve just waited for?’”
Ms. Allyn posted several videos of her weekend-long celebration on social media, which she called her “wedding birthday,” and also included a Studio 54-themed dance party, afternoon tea and several outfit changes, reaching four million total views on TikTok and Instagram.
For some single women, the milestone 40th birthday is more than a party. Instead of waiting for a partner to justify a celebration, women are using the moment as a declaration of empowerment and self-love, complete with wedding attire, a curated guest list of their closest friends and family and the joy and excitement of a wedding.
“People are getting married later in life,” said Sarah Adair, the founder of Social Bliss Events in Nashville, who has planned several wedding-style 40th birthdays for clients. “Women deserve to celebrate such a milestone with or without a partner.”
实在有点让人无语
我觉得和日本那些与动漫角色结婚的宅男类似
