Well, my ex-father in law told my son, he would not attend his wedding IF it was in a church. It was held outdoors at a park, that was ok. Then he found out my daughter in law's cousin was a baptist minister and was going to marry them, he about had a cow!! He had to approve of the 'talk' the cousin was gonna give and my son, told him to stay home from the wedding. He said we are not JW's anymore, so if you don't like it then don't come to the wedding. His son is the uncle I spoke about. He was not allowed to be in the wedding. That was 7 years ago, and I am sure things are not changed, but then you never know. I just don't want my nephew to have hurt feelings when he finds out his uncle and aunt can't be attendants in his wedding.

JW's and weddings
by nana1957 ini am sure this has been discussed before, would appreciate anything on this.
i was always under the assumption that a jw was not allowed to be an attendant in a 'worldly' wedding.
meaning that you would not be able to be a bridesmaid or groomsman if you were baptized.

I have a nephew getting married who was brought up a JW, but never baptized, now living with a catholic girl. They think that his uncle and aunt will be able to be attendants in their wedding next summer. I hate to tell them, they will have to find out themselves. When my son got married this same uncle was not allowed to be a groomsman,,,not even an usher for the wedding and when the uncle got married my son's were not allowed to be in the wedding either as they were not bapitized, and we no longer were attending the KH.
So what's the deal?? And they can't be in the wedding( it will be at the brides parents home) why can't they be? I have been out for 14 years and it's been so long I can't remember anymore ( good thing, I am finally forgetting everything about being a JW)
