Ko, however, did not run her wedding with the set celebratory societal practices. From being the first one to propose, to have a rental as her wedding dress- Ko made it a point to have her wedding go the way she prefers, not the society.

She said, “I’m renting a dress. I didn’t want to buy a dress. I’d rather put that dress money into something else. If I ever had a daughter later, I don’t want to tell her ‘Hey, this was my wedding dress and I save this for you.’ … I was totally fine with it being a rental.”, according to her statement in the podcast called Henni and Hally: Women with Game.

Instead, the World’s No. 1 women’s professional golfer chose to spend the money on something more fruitful, like her honeymoon. With this step, Ko not only promote sustainability in fashion but also set forth a new precedent for brides around the world.

Lydia remains to be not just a golfing sensation but also an advocate for making personal choices in life and not letting society define one’s worldview.
