I don't think atheism is really "absence of a religion", it's more of a belief that there is no God. Hopefully you can understand that someone who believes firmly that there is no God would be slightly uncomfortable with the fact that their wedding, which is obviously a very important day, was completely centered around belief in God.

I'm very young so I really haven't thought about this very much, but now that I am thinking about it, I'm not really sure *what* I would do. I'm an atheist as well, but my situation is the opposite: I only know a few people my age who really have a strong faith in God; most of my friends and people I know who are my age are agnostic or atheist.

I hope you find a happy medium with your potential wedding issue.


Sail across the sea
when you're ready
call back to me
on the shore
I'll be there waiting,
waiting for you always
to spend
the rest of eternity. <3
