“I must admit that that idea of your marriage was not easy to process. We are old-fashioned and it came as a bit of a shock. I know that I haven’t always been supportive, but please understand why. It’s not because I oppose being gay. I want you to be the person who you are. I was just worried about you and how this would affect your life. There’s a lot of people out there who want to cause opposition and even harm. I can see now that you will be okay. You have found a great partner, and you give each other strength. Now that you have found someone who is so nice, I am not worried anymore. I love you both and I give full blessings to your marriage.”

“While some people may find your marriage “alternative”, I don’t see it any differently that any other I’ve witnessed between two people who love each other. Love is love. It’s simple. When it’s real, others can see that. We are happy for you on your wedding day.”

If there was ever a day to celebrate, it’s today! We’ve known you your whole life and watched you struggle to fit in. Through periods of isolation and difficulty, you seemed to carry on with a sense of inner strength. You never gave up. That hope you held onto brought a great partner into your life, and we are so glad you found each other. You are always welcome in our home and we welcome you as family. Congratulations on your marriage.”
