My fiancé and I are to be handfasted this April, but we’ve decided to become a married couple this month on the 28th through the Justice of the Peace. It’s going to be a very, very simple ceremony, while the handfasting will be the big celebration. You know, park gazebo, the dress, fairy wings, bubble machines, handfasting cords, broom jump, cake … the whole shebang!
The heartbreak is that I don’t think my aunt or her family will be going. A little bit of background: My whole family is Christian, but they’re also open-minded and accepting. My aunt, however, is … to say it nicely, extremely Christian. Anytime she wants to know about the union of my fiancé and I, she only mentions the civil ceremony. If I, or my mother, mentions the handfasting my aunt completely ignores it. She’ll either find an excuse to hang-up the phone, or sit there idly with the occasional “Uh-huh”, “Sure”, “That’s nice”.
