Scenario

When interfaith celebrations divide extended families

My daughter is getting married and wants a ceremony that honors both her faith and her partner's very different traditions, but our extended family is making it clear they think she's compromising something essential. We're caught between supporting her choices and keeping peace with relatives who feel betrayed.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Joy becomes complicated when celebration requires choosing between a child's happiness and family unity.
