We reached out to the author of this post to find out more about this situation, and lucky for us, she kindly answered a few of our questions. First, we wanted to know if anyone else in her family had left the church. “I am the only one in my immediate family who left the Seventh-day Adventist church,” she told We. “I have an aunt who also did.”
We were also curious to know whether or not there were ever conversations about her parents helping out financially with the wedding. “My fiancé and I were always planning on paying for it,” the bride clarified.
Finally, we wanted to know what she thought of the replies to her post. “The commenters were mostly very helpful, and I enjoyed reading them all,” the author shared.
However, not all of the replies were kind. “Some of the comments assumed that I did it out of spite, so that my family would not attend. This was a little hurtful because it assumed the worst of me,” the bride added. “It is most hurtful, though, that my parents assumed this, as I have grown up so much and thought that we have gotten closer and grown past that. It is never easy when someone assumes the worst of your intentions.”
