In an episode of the popular TV show Sex and the City, protagonist Carrie Bradshaw sets up a fake wedding registry to get a friend to buy her a pair of shoes. Carrie claims to be getting married to herself in a bid to replace expensive shoes that went missing when she was asked to take them off at a party to celebrate the friend’s new baby.
Though now 20 years old, this episode continues to resonate for bringing attention to those milestones that are collectively celebrated in society, and those that are not.
