After Olivia and Christian’s June 29 wedding, many people online took offense to the 32-year-old telling Vogue she went for a conservative wedding dress because she wanted something that “felt as serious” as the commitment of marriage.
However, some expressed concern over a perceived patriarchal message behind Olivia’s words. Influencer Kennedy Bingham noted that while Olivia looked “beautiful,” on her wedding day, she had a critique on Olivia’s dress and her vision behind it.
“It has been documented that it does not matter what women wear—they will be sexualized if someone wants to sexualize them,” Kennedy said in a social media post. “So, to treat this as a sexless design is really odd to me.”
Later, Christian, 28, came to his wife’s defense.
“What an evil thing to post online,” he wrote in a comment under Kennedy’s post. “I hope you can find joy and peace in the world, the way my beautiful wife does.”
Despite the controversy, Christian and Olivia had quite the glamorous wedding celebrations. Keep reading to see every detail of the bride’s vision brought to life.
