Wedding Blog

The first article, from the Washington Post, is a slightly shortened version of this article from Slate:

The Miss Manners one requires registration on the site, which I happened to have done at some point in the past, apparently. Short version:

“A brother whom I love is planning his wedding in a religious ceremony I disagree with. Is there a way to honor him and his bride while in no way implying I endorse the religious ceremony?”

Miss Manners says, “Where did you get the vainglorious idea that your presence at your brother’s wedding would constitute putting your seal of approval on any theological or social ritual involved? You are not there as a judge, but as a witness. Anything you do to show disapproval, including boycotting the ceremony, will only symbolize disapproval of your brother or of his bride.”
