#she put Romans 10:9-10 in our wedding card and I stopped everything to look it up like 'this had BETTER be about love and marriage'

[blujayonthewing]

my grandma, hugging me at our wedding rehearsal: I’m so happy you two are finally doing as God has commanded

me, has been Living In Sin for nearly a decade: ...... okay

#commanded isn't the word she used it was something slightly softer but I cannot for the LIFE of me remember what it was #regardless this was the intent and I 😐 #I don't know that having a strictly secular wedding ten years into the relationship is gonna make a difference to god at this point but okay #my grandma's been christian my whole life but she's recently gotten very weird about it #she could certainly be a lot WORSE but it's still driving me bonkers #she put Romans 10:9-10 in our wedding card and I stopped everything to look it up like 'this had BETTER be about love and marriage' #friends it is not #and like 'I'm so glad you're gonna sign some papers so that fuckin isn't a sin anymore' grandma WHAT do you expect me to SAY to THAT!!! #AND LIKE. IT'S MADE UP! IT IS MADE UP. IT'S PAPERWORK. IT'S A MANMADE LEGAL ARRANGEMENT #if god is real then he ought to know that we're already faithfully married in our hearts! why does HE care that now we can file joint taxes! #nearly a week later and still thinkin about this kjdhgkdfh #my grandma getting more and more (benevolently!) aggressively religious wouldn't bother me as much if it wasn't AWKWARD every time #'GOD will always bless the two of you.... whether you believe that or not' okay so like you know that second bit was the problem right #I can graciously and gratefully accept a blessing but you made it WEIRD #HHH. ANYWAY. #about me #irl frens #(catchall real life people tag)
