Maybe she’s upset just because Chase is such a bad match for Mark. (Okay, I know that isn’t the reason, but would you want anyone you cared about to marry Chase?)
This hits pretty close to home. My godfather was a gay man. The first occasion he went anywhere in public with his long time partner was attending his mother’s funeral. He died yesterday. His two surviving sisters are not holding a funeral for him because they still don’t accept that it’s okay to be gay. His friends are getting together a memorial service, none of his blood family will be there.
A little confused – the rev may need to talk thru those things with somebody. From Mark’s point of view, no issue. Oh! Maybe the Rev needs Mark to walk him thru it.
You know. A fast thinking padre would zoom right over there and lend a hand. If he can talk her off the roof there might be a bite of the 75 mil for the church.
“Moral, legal, and theological ramifications”? Legal I can see, but moral and theological? Those would be about 49th and 99th on my list of things to think about, way below emotional, financial, logistical, geographical, and similar considerations about a wedding.
Ya know, I’M still looking for a logical explanation for WHY anyone’s activities in the bedroom should be ANYBODY’S business other than the participants…
My granddad used to tell me that it went against “God’ Will”, but other than, “shut up, boy”, he never had an answer when I’d ask why God didn’t fix the problem that he’d obviously created…
…And, just as an aside, homosexual behavior has been detected in many animal species, as well – it is NOT just a human aberration…
For a $75 million dollar inheritance I would have put off all of my prior hetero marriages until after I got the money. Living in sin and having kids would not have been that big a problem.
I haven’t heard of anyone making a blood test part of the wedding procedure for a few generations (it used too be standard, children). Similarly, the state doesn’t need to record the gender (or the ethnicity, or the weight, or the date of birth) of either or both of the parties for the contract to be legitimate.

Thought Mark’s mom would be happy that he’s settling down.

Just tell him you can’t officiate the ceremony because you got busted for distracted driving.

I thought Mark was Jewish… Not that the good Rev. would let that stop him.

Maybe, Mom would be happy if Mark was marrying a Doctor?
‘’Well, my son in law, the Doctor, he told me ….’’

Mark would’ve known that his Mom would hit the roof – just not in this way!
