I grew up with reform judaism being a huge part of my life (sup, NFTY) but overtime realized i am definitely an atheist. I believe you can never stop being Jewish, so I consider myself culturally Jewish. I went to my cousin's wedding this weekend and realized I want a Jewish wedding so bad. I don't think my atheist boyfriend would go for it. i don't know if he will even propose but I don't think I'll ever meet a Jewish boy regardless.
tl;dr: i hope to someday have a jewish wedding but only date atheists and i can't see them taking the news well. especially the current bf who i hope to someday marry.
Holy shit NFTY I went to conclaves did you go to conclaves? The culture/religious thing is tired and pertinent.
Me and my ex-catholic partner are both on the atheist to agnostic spectrum, but catholic churches are beautiful and the Jewish ceremony is fun, so we just have to find a pretty catholic church that will let us put a chuppah up.
oh shit i think i went in... 2005. i helped run a production of the vagina monologues lol. i was in nfty from 2004- 2009. i had an extra year because i started in 8th grade. i want to play jew geography with you so badd
ahh now i feel kinda old. most of the NAR people i know are my age or older. but yeahhh nfty! i had to include that in my original post because i had a feeling there had to be one nfty alum here somewhere
