Why is it that the Christians believe that they have the monopoly on marriage? If two Pagan teenagers want to get hitched and literally ‘tie the knot’, making a public commitment for one year and one day, then let them. Understandably this Pagan wedding is not recognised legally as one of the party is yet to reach legal adulthood. But the fact that the Australian Family Association, whose founder is a Catholic Activist, finds this so threatening is bogus (and not in a Bill and Ted kind of way). Hold back on the school-girl-like whining! The fact that the AFA finds it deplorable means bollocks! John Morrissey, media spokesman for the AFA, believes that there is something wrong with such mock weddings. But if these teenagers wish to display their love and respect for each other for what in teenage years could represent a lifetime- then good on them. And last time I checked (according to my abacus) Paganism well and truly predates the Marriage Act 1961. So who is to say that their wedding is not more authentic than yours Mr Morrissey?
