Yes it is.

It sounds vampirish.

I perform a lot of same sex marriages, as an officiant on a busy destination wedding island. It's heartwarming to see most families so supportive of the loving couple's celebration of legal marriage. However it is truly sad when one of the partner's parents (or siblings) refuse to acknowledge and attend.

I don't really think a stranger stand in would help in these cases, but the thought is nice. Many couples will have other family or friend support members there instead.

Many of my weddings are simple elopements of "just the 2 of us" kind. Those are still a little wistfully sad when the couple will live stream or instantly and excitedly share wedding photos on the spot with one set of parents and not the other. That's the way it is for them.

I think within one generation, this rejection by parents of their children's sexual identity will be a thing of the past. We are moving in the right direction.

Truly inspiring in the current environment.

That is awesome!! I should volunteer to do that!!
