Burlesque Wedding : A Unique Event!
The Carnival of Martinique is not just an explosion of colors and rhythms, it also ventures into much bolder realms, such as the burlesque wedding, a truly one-of-a-kind event! A quirky, joyful, and humorous open-air ceremony that has become a must-see event in the carnival program.
The concept: Colorful characters, from extravagant brides and grooms to wild witnesses and unlikely guests, all set against a backdrop of laughter, dance, and ever-more outrageous costumes. From the mayor to drag queens, the quirky priest, and the paparazzi, this ceremony is a spectacle in itself.
The Art of Inversion: Men and Women, Roles are Reversed
On Shrove Monday, the role reversal between men and women is a tradition. Social conventions are set aside to make room for freedom of expression, humor, and creativity. The burlesque wedding parade brings together all the elements of carnival: the quirky, the festive, and the joyful. The carnival participants, in their finest (or most extravagant) costumes, march to celebrate the union of fun and laughter. Between pranks and moments of camaraderie, this ceremony is a tribute to the free spirit of carnival, where everything is permitted.
So, don’t wait any longer, prepare your most dazzling costumes and join the most outrageous and festive wedding celebration of the carnival!
