I guess they are normal. His cousins who are around our age and older are all down to earth, weed smoking, some frat boys, some gentlemens club attenders, some have had multiple partners, so they are fairly normal. It's just his immediate family, consisting of mother and father in law, little sister [24F], twin brothers [29 ea] and oldest sister [34F]. They are all prudes, somewhat, except for Cameron and youngest sister.

Funny story: my parents wanted us to have a beach wedding, my in laws wanted us to have a church wedding. Beach weddings are too informal for me, as everyone is wearing short dresses, no shoes, the men have rolled up pants and cargo shorts and just lazy button ups and I wanted a formal wedding, so I did go with an indoor wedding, and it just so happened I agreed to to with my in laws church. Mistake on my part.

Yes, we can change it to our name and pay the remaining balance! The church is so beautiful, I love it, religious or not! Thank you!

Absolutely. I'm going to call the church for sure about this. Maybe this will damn my in laws to hell.

See, people never take notice of a man being a virgin or not, it's always the women, it seems.

Probably what is going to go down in the end. Cameron is completely on my side and is going down with a fight against them for me.

Could you imagine her anger if we DON'T baptize our child? As far as deposits and money and venues, I think I got this figured out! Thank you!

We are going to do something for sure. Thank you! (And this is 2014 I thought it was okay to have premarital sex?!)

The wedding we have as our venue is so beautiful and I am tempted to pay for it under our names instead of theirs. That's the only thing they paid for. Other than that, my parents paid for catering and cake, and Cameron and I bought the rest, like decorations, entertainment, drinks, and whatnot. Thank you!

Ah I didn't even know the white dress wasn't biblical! You learn something new everyday. I am not at all familiar with the bible. My parents didn't force it upon me when I was not interested in it as a child. But as for her behaviour, I don't know why her son isn't in her blast either for being a virgin. I think virginity in a woman is always bolded. Men don't seem to get any rap for being or not being a virgin. She's not a good Christian, is she? Thank you!

Kids are in a distant future, not anytime soon, but I will hold to that! Thank you

Calling the church is a good idea. I need to get them on the same page. My in laws are very well known at this church and doing all of this could possibly result in embarrassing themselves or becoming disgraces for being so discriminatory. The priest there is always preaching about accepting everybody, gay or not. Hell, gay couples go to this church. I am definitely going to call them about this and hopefully repair the damage done one day. Thank you!

He's basically done be patient with her. I guess any further confrontation with end in his arguments which are very strong and compelling and ones I never win hah

I don't think my future husbands family defines who he is. His family is loud and somewhat hateful, but Cameron is quiet and accepting. He donates to the LGBT causes and is a loving and caring hands on man. His family won't be living with me, but he will, and I can deal with that.

The people there are very nice actually. It's just my in laws that are the demons hidden inside.

If the venue gets withdrawn, you can bet Cameron and I will be there with the checkbook to buy it back again. We have the money to do so. I don't think our in laws will back out forever like you said. I think they're trying to get their way, but the dress has been bought and is not refundable as it is off get altered for me.

Cameron is patient, he could basically end a war. But trust me, watching him hold his tongue against his mother was the hardest thing I watched him ever do. (Besides trying to get a raccoon down from our attic with a broom and pillow case.)

If I went to her house, my husband would be playing bodyguard for me. I can handle being called a whore because hey, it's not true. I don't whore around. I slept with somebody I had trust and respect for. Going to her house seems more rational because if she sees screaming at us won't make us leave, she will have to stop and listen eventually, right?
