Thanks for all the information. Some of it although negative is very interesting to read.
As was speculated, they did refuse to go to the wedding. This lead to the couple eloping. They have also said that they won't attend a reception to meet the other family since it celebrates the mariage that they can't support.
I got the impression that the bride was somewhat in denial of what could happen after they were married before the eloped. Looking in to the relationship from the outside though, I chose to keep my thoughts to myself rather then trying to barge in between them.
At some level, I find parts of the very funny though. From expecting everyone to respect thier beliefs and traditions while flagerantly refusing to respect the other parties involved beliefts and traditions. To the whole part about you can't marry an unbeliever, but since you have, the mariage is ok now(which I knew about before, but didn't know the details surrounding it).
Again, Thanks for the info.

I'd like to see initial responses of people reading this forum before I post how the family of the bride is responding to the situation.
The more specific references you can provide, the better. I'd be very interested in seeeing the passages that the beliefs are pulled from also.
Thanks for whatever info you can provide. Other then the watch tower website, I'm really not sure where to start looking for more information.
Thanks.
