Hi!
Well we had thought that we found the wedding site of our dreams when we saw the little chapel at Peaceful Valley Ranch! It was amazing, panoramic views of mountain peaks covered in mist from the early morning evaporation. Beautiful stained glass windows with pictures of ski patrol people (it was originally a ski patrol chapel where people from all faiths could come to worship their gods)! It was amazing! I’m telling you all this to take your breath away and make you feel the sense of awe we felt when we entered this chapel.
Now I want you to feel the crushing spirit of defeat as you realize that just because we aren’t the right religion, we can’t celebrate our love in this place. That’s right, we are being descriminated against because we are not Christians. Apparently, if you don’t believe in their god, it doesn’t matter how much you love someone and want to promise your heart to them forever, you can’t be married in a Christian church. I think it is ridiculous and stupid and it just renews my conviction that overly religious people tend to be the most closed minded. Please feel free to dispute this point. I know some of you are religious so if you’d like to explain it to me then feel free.
Some of you may be saying that I could convert to the religion to be married there, and actually I wouldn’t have to because I was baptized a Christian, but I think that is just lame. I don’t believe in god, I don’t believe in the teachings of the religion, and I don’t believe in the way some Christians act. I think it’s just a cop out to convert to a religion just to be married somewhere and I think it’s ridiculous that they would force people to do that.
Well anyway screw them!! They’re not getting our hard earned $750. We found a better (and cheaper!!) place just down the road. It is at the Wild Basin Lodge in a beautiful meadow and I’m not going to say any more about it because I want you to be surprised when you see it. It is amazing though and you’ll love it. So totally look forward to it!!
More wedding updates to come later
