Mother has problem with non-christian ceremony. HELP!!


Recommended Posts

msncry.gif Someone tell me this is all going to work out...

 

My FI and I were both super excited at the prospect of a Mayan wedding. We love the history of it and the connection to nature. Both of us were raised in a Christian homes but neither of us are practicing anymore.

 

We told both our moms this past week that we were considering a Mayan ceremony. My FMIL actually accepted the news well (I love that woman) but my mother on the other hand kept her mouth shut until today. My mother emails this morning to let me know that she won't consider us married unless it is in a Christan Ceremony!!! Something about making a promise to god is the only way to really be married. My mother knows I HATE the religion I was raised in and I resent the fact they don't allow women to speak in the church or hold office. Yet she wants me to go back to a place I was treated like a second class citizen.

 

I have gone from super excited to on the verge of tears. I swore I would never set foot back in a place like that. Has anyone gone through anything like this?? HELP!!! Carla

I say just do it. it's not right to force one's religious beliefs on someone else. I think she will get over not considering you married. maybe if you want to compromise you can have a blessing afterwards or something like that. but, I think the ceremony needs to reflect you & your FI & your feelings about marriage.

 

marriage to us was a committment to each other, not God. We didn't have a religious ceremony. I guess a preacher noticed this, because at dinner he came over to our table to bless our marriage. so I guess we are covered :)

I agree with Morgan - just do it. Besides, who really cares if your mother considers you married? As long as the two of you consider yourselves committed to each other, that's all that really matters. We aren't doing a religious ceremony either and thank goodness we haven't gotten any crap about it from anyone! We both come from pretty non-religious families.

I have not gone through this but I can offer you my advice.

 

I think that you need to sit down with your mom and have a real conversation about this. Deep down I'm sure that your mom wants your wedding day to be a happy day for you- which means that it should be how you envision it not how she wishes it to be for you.

 

Weddings seem to stir up lots of family/friend issues and you have ample time before your day to work through it. I know I'm working on some issues with my family but not related to the actual wedding. I see it as a new beginning and this could be a way for you to change the way you communicate with your mom. JMO though...

 

oh yeah.. It will all work out.

Thank you! You guys are the best! grouphug.gif

 

My sister just emailed back. Her exact words were "If mom don't like it she can stay in Michigan". I love my sister! wink.gif

I did present this to her as we were thinking of doing this anyone for my FMIL family. I can't wait to see her response. I am hoping an earful from my sister tonight will help my mom face facts.

This would irk me soooo much. You need to clarify what Morgan said! Your wedding is about the commitment between you and your future husband, it does not have to be a promise to God. I understand that marriage was originally a religious practice, but that's not what it necessarily is today. It is more about the union between two people that love each other and want to share their lives together.

 

Your mother needs to learn to accept your beliefs. Her choice of religion is not the only choice. You need to make that it clear to her that you have chosen to practice or not practice your faith in a different manner and would love for her to share this special day with you in the manner that you think is best for your FI and you. Don't let her talk to you into anything you don't want to do. This is about YOUR wedding and whether she chooses to "consider" you as married or not is her problem bc you and your FI will be very much married after your perfect destination wedding!

Both FI's parents and mine have given us huge guilt trips to try to get us to be married by a priest. (FI's family wants it in a Catholic church; my parents want my brother, who is an Episcopal priest, to do the ceremony.) He is atheist and I am agnostic so we are holding firm. Why go through something that is against your belief system and that would be just for show anyway? Our little compromise is that we are having my brother do a blessing at the end of the ceremony.

 

Even then, 4 months in, the families are still pressing and I imagine they will continue to do so up until the minute we say our vows. To me it shows a lack of respect for us and our beliefs. Honestly, the next time they bring it up, I am going to be a little ugly about it. It's not up for discussion, end of story. Every time they raise the issue, that will be mine and FI's answer.

I always say a wedding is about what the bride and groom want and no one else! But I just want to offer a different perspective on this... Your parents want what's best for you, and in their eyes I'm sure they feel that you need God in your life and in your ceremony. If they had a baptism or dedication service for you when you were a baby, they took a vow of their own to God to teach you to be a good Christian. So they may not be intending to be disrespectful to you, they are just standing by their beliefs in hopes that you will "see the light" or see it their way. They probably think they are doing what is best for you.

 

Personally, I think you should have whatever kind of ceremony you want. Maybe you could have your mother or father read a scripture (of your choosing) so they feel included. Or if you decide to go with a religious ceremony could it be Christian with out being your specific denomination?

 

You might also remind your mother that the Bible says that once a child is married she is to cleave herself from her parents b/c her husband is her new family....

I am so sorry you are going through this.

 

I understand that you want to please your mother, but sometimes you have to do what you want. I know it's hard, trust me I have dealt with this myself, but it must be done.

 

We are Catholic, but since my FI was married in the church for his first wedding, I am not able to. It has made me sad, but I have dealt with it and so have my parents.

 

When I started to develop the ceremony last month, I was so shocked at how much religion is being tied in. I really liked it.

 

Are you opposed to throwing some prayers in the mix? Perhaps that will appease your mom. If you like I would be more than happy to send you my ceremony so you can take a look.

 

Good luck with everything!

IslamoradaBrida,
Sorry you are going through this too. My FI are both agnostics also with Catholic family on one side and Lutheran on the other. It is not an easy compromise.

I do have one saving grace and that is my sister. She was so excited that we had chosen such a unique ceremony where everyone could participate. My sis was so mad about my mom's behavior that she gave my mom a stern talking to last night about how my father was an agnostic and he would have approved. Don't happen to have a sibling to take your side do you? hug2.gif

We are both agnostic and don't want to add anything to the ceremony that would feel "fake" to us; knowing it was something we add for someone else and not something we believe in. Thank you so much for the suggestion though, it was a good idea.

    • Just finished building and was lost on heating... [url=https://rjadom.ru/]this site[/url] helped a lot with practical examples.
    • [b]Сайт Кракен – лучшая торговая площадка Даркнета [/b] Сервис Kraken – лучший магазин Даркнета, где продаются разные позволяющие расслабиться препараты, фальшивые документы и деньги, можно заплатить за доступ к чужим личным данным и аккаунтам. Клиентам обеспечивается полная анонимность, а количество магазинов всё время растёт. [b]Покупки на Кракене[/b] На Кракене можно найти такие предложения: • Несколько видов наркотиков – от марихуаны и стимуляторов до ЛСД и кокаина. • Обналичка Bitcoin. • Взломанные аккаунты ВПН. • Услуги хакеров. • Паспорта, удостоверения, водительские права. • Банковские карты и симки. • Фальшивые купюры – в основном, 1000, 2000 и 5000 руб.. • Оборудование и приборы – от скрытых камер и жучков до флешек для взлома. На сайте можно и найти работу. Например, стать закладчиком, химиком или гровером. Можно стать продавцом. [b]Преимущества сервиса[/b] Причины для выбора площадки Kraken: • Полная анонимность клиентов и владельцев магазинов благодаря расположению в сети Onion. • Применение криптовалют в качестве денежной единицы. Это гарантирует анонимность всех транзакций. • Доступ к покупке сразу после оплаты. Закладки уже доставлены – нужно только забрать. • Минимальный риск мошенничества. Проблемы можно решить обращением в поддержку сайта, доступную 24 часа в сутки. • Система рейтинга, которая позволяет сразу отсортировать лучшие магазины. • Доставка в разные города РФ и соседних странах. Список доступных мест содержит сотни наименований. Клиентам сервиса можно бесплатно использовать дополнительные услуги. Круглосуточно они могут получить консультацию у юриста или нарколога. А если появились проблемы – обратиться в техподдержку, которая тоже отвечает круглосуточно. Ещё одна особенность сервиса – собственный форум. Вход из расположенной вверху панели сайта. На форуме есть основные правила, новости и информация от других посетителей. А ещё результаты площадки и раздел для общения доставщиков товара. [b]Способы перейти на Кракен[/b] Сервис, который продаёт психоактивные вещества и поддельные документы, запрещён контролирующими службами. И зайти на него, обычным способом не выйдет. Для доступа следует использовать зеркало, браузер Тор или VPN-сервис. Сервис ВПН – вариант, вариант, позволяющий обходить блокировки сайтов. В том числе – на площадки в Darknet. Преимущество метода – защита связи, возможность изменения данных входа только в браузере или всего компьютера. Недостатки – замедление скорости и небольшой размер бесплатного трафика. Второй способ – специальный браузер Тор. Чтобы зайти на Кракен понадобится специальная ссылка, заканчивающейся на .ONOION. Плюсы – отсутствие оплаты и принцип «луковичной маршрутизации», недоступный посторонним IP и отсутствующая история посещений. Минус – сравнительно медленный доступ. Зеркала сайта – тот же сайт, который расположен по другому адресу. Отсутствуют отличия от основной страницы. Есть возможность запуска в обычном браузере. Зеркальные версии будут работать, даже если временно недоступен официальный сайт. Недостаток зеркал – трафик не скрывается, а посетитель может попасть на фейковые страницы. Потому список зеркальных версий следует брать на надёжных сайтах. Есть такой перечень на наркошопе Kraken https://kraken-v2tor.info/magazin-kraken-v-telegram.html и тематических форумах. [b]Регистрация [/b] Чтобы пользоваться сайтом нужно пройти регистрацию. Это позволит совершать покупки, использовать форум и дополнительные услуги. Для регистрации нужно выполнить несколько несложных действий: 1. Зайти на сайт и указать проверочный код. 2. В форме регистрации ввести логин, пароль и имя. Логин – английскими литерами. Имя вводится и на русском. 3. Завершить регистрацию и подтвердить согласие с требованиями площадки. После регистрации идентификаторами можно пользоваться для входа в кабинет. Здесь показываются данные о заявках и оплате, предложениях скидки, настройки аутентификации. [b]Совершение сделки на сайте[/b] Совершить покупку на сервисе Kraken можно за несколько простых шагов: 1. Указать населённый пункт в выпадающем списке. По умолчанию там стоит место, выбранное при первом входе. Можно указать метро и район города. 2. Найти нужную категорию в меню слева. Указать вариант доставки – например, закладку или прикоп. 3. Познакомиться со списком доступных магазинов. Выбрать подходящий вариант и перейти на его страницу. 4. Познакомиться с отзывами. Если покупателя всё устраивает – перейти к покупке. 5. После перехода к форме заказа указать подходящий вариант. Это может быть Биткоин, карту или телефон и даже игру в рулетку. 6. Получить адрес клада и взять товар в указанном городе и районе. 7. Написать отзыв, чтобы другие посетители знали, что товар качественный – или были проблемы. 8. Запомнить магазин в «Избранное» чтобы было проще заходить из профиля. Покупая товар, стоит познакомиться с особенностями сделок. При появлении проблем покупатели могут открыть спор где будут участвовать админы. Правда, в первый раз купить можно только на криптовалюту BTC. Если выбран вариант «рулетка», открывается доступ к игре. Это даёт шанс заплатить меньше, делая ставки на поле из 100 клеток. Ещё один вид экономии – купон. Он подходит для оплаты не больше 50процентов стоимости покупки. [b]Гарантии отсутствия обмана[/b] Обращение на Кракен позволяет рассчитывать на качество продукта. Показать клиентам, что вещества соответствуют требованиям сайта, продавец может, заказав сертификацию. При прохождении проверки сведения о сертификате будут показаны вверху карточки. Гарантия отсутствия обмана – возможность подтвердить заказ в течение 24 часов. Когда покупатель убедился, что клад на месте, он закрывает сделку. Если возникли проблемы – можно открыть спор. Когда виноват продавец, средства будут возвращены клиенту. У магазина ухудшается репутация, а частый обман приводит к бану. Поэтому некачественного товара на торговой площадке практически нет Отзывы kraken shop Kraken маркетплейснарковалютная наркомаркет Kraken Рынок Кракен наркорынок Кракен в анонимной сети kraken market резервный адрес Kraken даркнет маркет Долгопрудный Площадка Кракен в тор Kraken даркнет маркет Сыктывкар Kraken даркнет маркет Арзамас Kraken даркнет маркет Владимир Кракен Казан Читаева магазин Kraken даркнет маркет Севастополь наркорынок на Kraken Веб-сайт Кракен Kraken трейдинг Магазин Кракена Kraken наркорынок Кракен сайт Москва как войти на сайт Кра?кен официальный

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
