Water into Kool-Aid

Published May 18, 2018 4:31am ET



This week we learned, via BuzzFeed, about a new trend in weddings: bouncy castles. A wedding company has opened an initially successful line of wedding-themed inflatable trampolines. Photos depict shoeless groomsmen and bridesmaids bouncing and giggling like first-graders at a birthday bash.

The Scrapbook is not opposed to any novelty in weddings. In men’s attire, for instance, we cautiously approve of the trend toward suits and away from tuxes, since only a vanishingly thin slice of the male population ever has reason to don formal evening wear. Tuxedos begin to seem vaguely ridiculous, like cravats and top hats.
