we, as in Cheryl and myself are sort of going through the same thing just religion has not been brought into the picture. Just that someone close does not believe Cheryl and I should get married…they are “against” it. That hurts but opinions are opinions.
My younger brother is gay. Gay as laughter. Gay as the day is long. One of the finest moments in my life, and one of the greatest compliments anyone has ever paid me, was the day he felt safe to come out to me.

thank you very much!
I think marriage is a personal choice between two people who love each other to officially recognise that love, end of… Sadly some people feel obliged to apply all sorts of criterion and over complicate things, but at the end of the day they are not likely to change and it is their problem to sort out… So congratulations in advance to the two of you, not everyone finds their one true love but you both clearly have! x
Sorry to hear that – its always difficult with family, but one thing I’ve learned is that EVERYONE’S families are slightly mad and sometimes they can come around 🙂
