Something to think about
Marriage: It just feels so real to me right now...
I have a friend who's parents cannot accept her orientation. They are flying up to NY in a few weeks for a commitment ceremony for a godchild. But told (my friend) the daughter: this doesn't mean I want you to marry a girl. that is unacceptable.
NOW...
I am not sure if these women know that these family members, will attend their ceremony, but is completely against it, and their own daughter's ideas of marriage.
This scares me. I can think of a few friends who are actively approving of my relationship, but not necessarily of gay marriage as a whole. That gives me goose bumps.---- So what would you do?
I believe that marriage is to publicly announce commitment and to join loved ones in the bond of marriage. (few marriages are done in private/ without loved ones) I think, when the time is right, I will invite all of my loved ones. I will have a chat, or a letter discussing the requirements for attendance. All are welcome to attend! I need them to be in approval of the marriage. I need them to agree with the person I choose to marry and of the institution bonding us.
Now your turn~
