A young friend of mine is getting married at the end of November, she has been setting up her own wedding (to save money) and handling all the details with her fiancé. This week she received notice from her family members stating that due to their ‘Christian’ beliefs, they will not be attending her wedding or her reception.
This is something I simply do not understand. This woman isn’t a complete radical; she’s not a nudist, she doesn’t live in a hippy colony, she doesn’t sell drugs or internet porn, she doesn’t even broadcast her religious beliefs unless you pin her to the wall. I can understand not wanting to participate in a religious function if it would conflict with your own; but to totally refuse to attend your sisters, daughters, neice’s, or cousins wedding and reception simply because you are Christian and she isn’t totally astounds me.
I was wondering if I am missing some kind of ethics, or if this young lady’s family just has bad manners.
