The front page headline of my local paper read, “Mr. and Mr.” Beneath the headline was a photograph of two newly-wed young men, holding hands and kissing. The story continued from page one to page three where a second photo was featured of the two men signing their marriage license. The “feature story” described how the couple met and why they decided to marry. Comments from family members and friends were included.
I wonder. The photos from my son’s and daughter-in-law’s weddings were relegated to the “wedding section” of the paper. No reporters were on hand to ask how my sons and their wives met or why they decided to marry. No comments from family members and friends were included.
I wonder what my hometown newspaper is trying to tell me… or my grandchildren… .
