Weddings

Are these weddings ruining the institution of marriage?

This man married his dog.

In this wedding a women married a dead man. He had been dead for 5 days before marrying him. They got married in a mortuary and was accompanied by bridesmaides, friends and family while the priest blessed the air. She even gave him a ring and concluded the cermony by kissing the courpse.

I believe that these are absolutly undermining the institution of marriage. Getting married to a dead person and to a dog in my mind is absolutly outragous. Marriage should be about two people in love and celebrating their union and I dont know how it can be possible to celebrate a union to a dog or corpse.

Now what about gay marriages?

Some people believe that this type of marriage is also outragous. I do not agree with this statement. I beleive that two people in love, regardless of sex, should be able to celebrate their special relationships in the same way that a heterosexual relationship would. This rite of passige shows the celebration of two people in love -- fully functioning people, not like a courpse or dog -- and should be accepted in todays postmodern culure.

I have a friend who is gay and has a boyfriend. Even though I do feel like I do have some troubles seeing public displays of affection between the two, I accept that it was a life they choose for themselves and accept the relationship between them. I would go to their wedding (if it were to happen) and celebrate their union as I would go to a heterosexual couples wedding. They are in love and should not be told that this love is wrong because you believe yours is the only way.
