I wonder . . . if a boy made a wish to have sex with a woman before he died, would the Foundation send him to Nevada? Well why not?

James;
While I do not know for sure, good bet that they do have some SOP that they run operation on.
Here is their web site-ask them:

they would have to, now at least, otherwise they'd be trapped in their own PC paradox.

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.

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.
