When family events force conversations about abandoned faith traditions

Our family stopped going to temple when my parents divorced fifteen years ago and now my sister wants to have her wedding there and it's bringing up all this old pain and division about who we are and what we believe. Some of us want to reconnect with tradition and others want nothing to do with it.
