My son is getting married next spring. This has triggered anger in me. I have recently come out as an atheist to my family and my husband is inactive, his sisters are inactive. His fiance's family are all nonmembers. Sooooooo, the only one even able to go to his wedding is his brother.
This is so so so sad that everyone gets excluded. They are having a ring ceremony of some sort after they get back from their honeymoon for everyone else. I know this is their idea of compromising but a ring ceremony a couple weeks after the actual marriage is just not the same as watching them get married.
Well, at least I won't be outside the temple by myself. Will have plenty of company. His is the only one of my children's weddings I will not be able to attend. His brother was in the temple and we got caught up on tithing to be able to attend. Both our daughters were married outside the temple - hurray for them.
It is all just so sad.
