Dying Wish: Is this sweet or morbid?

[ISUKappa]

Not maybe the most conventional wish, but why not? For most people the actual wedding part is just a big party, anyway.

I was pretty evenly split...I'm kind of creeped out by the whole implications for the "groom" to be, but my opinions don't really count for much anyway.

Here's a news video with footage from the ceremony. She was a lovely bride and seems very happy about it. I wish them well.

"He told me that when Adam and Eve were married in the Garden of Eden, that God was the one who performed the ceremony -- and they didn't need a marriage license either," Nicole said.

Umm OK. They didn't need a lot of other things, like building permits, either.

If they want to have a commitment ceremony that's fine, but I think there are probably people in her congregation (or denomination) that aren't crazy about it being performed by a minister in a church. It's not the same as a gay marriage because they COULD legally get married - they're just not because of the insurance.

I don't know, something about this just bugs me.

So? What concern is it of them? If it bothers them that much, they should change churches. The Methodists are a farily liberal crew anyway, so I doubt too many people cared - especially giving the circumstances.

In terms of the wish, I also don't see the creepiness of it. Yes she's young, but it's not like she's 13. She knows she's gonna die, it's a huge life event she wanted to experience, that's it.

I think it's sweet. And I suspect the only major difference is that they won't be signing a marriage license at the end.

If some people are more concerned about the assumed extra-marital sex that will be happening on the honeymoon then what this is really about, then they need more things to do with all that time on their hands.

They made a point to say that the mother would be chaperoning the honeymoon.

She looked lovely, and he looked happy. I think it's a little odd, but very sweet.

I'm sure not much will be going on during their honeymoon as her mom will be chaperoning their trip!
