Atheist Weddings


I think I have witnessed my first atheist wedding for my nephew and his now wife. Not a single word of anything having to do with any type of religion whatsoever. The JP threw a curve when she said that there will now be a reading from the brides brother. To me, "reading" always meant a bible passage. Instead, the kid said a bunch on nice things about his sister. The whole thing was done in less than 15 minutes and the party started on schedule.

Anyone else been to religion-free weddings?

Re:


I'm not sure what kind of background the bride has but my nephew's parents brought him up Catholic. When his brother declared himself atheist to an audience of 45,000 on youtube, his dad commented "he says he's an atheist" as if it is just a phase he's going through. I didn't hear any grumbling by any family members at the wedding. Maybe they were all just thrilled that it was over so quickly.

Re: Atheist Weddings


Is the new groom Jory's brother? Is their dad still in denial of their atheism?

Yes, That's Jory's brother. I've never heard him say another word about it.

That's better than arguing, or trying to reconvert them. emoticon

If watching weddings is your thing, this one was only 12 and a half minutes.

That was sweet. emoticon The dog made me laugh, and I almost shed a tear when Sarah said her vows. She looked so happy, and so nervous.

Re:


That thing she said about knowing better and doing better is a paraphrased quote from Mya Angelou, and then she died a couple days later.
