[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My cousin is engaged and so am I. She is very conservative, religious, and is openly against same sex marriage.

I asked her if she would still attend my wedding to my partner. I am respecting her loving and committed relationship and I was hoping she could do the same for me. She said she could not attend because it goes against her beliefs.

What would you do? I don't want to create any family drama but going to her wedding when she refuses to go to mine makes me feel sick. [/quote]

don't go to her wedding, don't press her to go to yours.

My brother did this to me.  I divorced young (due to my first husband cheating on me with 11 women that I know of, having sex with a minor, and getting convicted for having sex with her).  When I was remarrying my brother told me to my face that god does not allow divorce and that I would be committing adultry every day for the rest of my life, in god's eyes I was still married to husband 1, and he could not attend my wedding to my new husband because it was against his beliefs.  I just let it go and we don't really speak much anymore.

You can't changes people's beliefs.  [/quote]

Christian here. I'm very familiar with the passage of scripture your brother quoted. The same passage condones divorce for adultery. I'm sorry he has a perverted view of it. I hope you've healed from your first marriage and are happy now.[/quote]

"Allows" is probably a better word than condones. [/quote]
