Good question, Phank... lemme give that a mull.
These may sound like stupid questions,
and maybe they are, but as you're aware I simply am unable to grasp the nature of the objection in the first place. So in my own mind, I need to pin down exactly which action steps over the line. Could she have carried them in but have someone else set them down? Could she have carried them to the door, but had someone else take them from there? If you were in her position, exactly how far would you go before saying "this is too far", and why would it be THAT point and not some other point?
I have never performed, as a minister, a "wedding" that was not "Holy Matrimony". When somebody wanted a "non religious wedding", I would refer them to the local justice of the peace, or others who I knew would not object. I think I would be inclined to do the same thing with other "wedding related" services. There are others who have no problem with "gay marriages".
But this also helps me, which I appreciate. So your objection is to the wedding and not the marriage. That's interesting. So if the marriage were a simple JP affair at the courthouse, but the newlyweds threw a party the next month, would you object to lifting a glass with them at that event?
