lol...No, but they could definitely take this matter before the SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION, recently under the leadership of its first Black president, Rev. Frank Luter.
They invited family and friends to celebrate their joining. Why should they now have to spend extra money and leave them out? .
Because it is what it is. The church said no, so now what. They can either not get married, or go someplace that will marry them. If they choose to legally fight this, money will be spent. Besides, if it were me, I wouldn't want my wedding day remembered as taking place where it had to be forced.
