Mormon girl marries vegetable because God told her to

Post by _Sanctorian »

One day because of our Savior my husband will be made whole and I will be able to run and jump into his arms but I will not love him any more then than I do now.

Good luck to her/them. I guess it would be better than some marriages I've seen. :wink:

He is a human being. Don't be crass.

If only the FP/12 could consider married gays and their children to be human beings. If only... .

That would be nice, I agree. But linking to the woman's blog and referring to her husband as a vegetable strikes me as an unnecessarily cruelty.

If something like this had happened to my husband while we were dating, I'd have married him anyway. I adore that man.

From the subject line I expected a tabloid trash story about some weird lady marrying a carrot. This is a sweet story.

I'm sure if I believed in a divine power, the sequence of events that occurred I'd see as evidence to them telling me not to marry :P

Also, I am surprised by the calibre of miracles that God rained down upon them, such as a doctor finding a medical problem with an X-ray, having a surgeon available for a routine surgery, feeling calm, surgery going well, a faster than average recovery (which seems kind of counter-intuitive given that he then proceeds to start dying,) making enough of a complaint to have specialist medical equipment moved to them rather than having to be placed in a medical facility specifically for these sorts of problems, healing somewhat (before the aforementioned dying bit,) feeling warm and fuzzy again, getting permission for having a quick wedding, and getting sealed.

My last concerns go to this appeal to emotion:
Lisa from blog wrote:If the Dr. said yes then she couldn't go against his wishes (win for us) but if the Dr. said no then she couldn't go against his wish (win for heartless people), I waited and prayed to hear the answer my whole wedding rested on the outcome. When I finally got the call I held my breath to hear the answer which was.............."Under no circumstances was Mike to leave his bed he can not get married period end of story" I couldn't believe my ears a Dr. who just a few days ago said Mike was doing great was suddenly saying Mike was doing so horribly that if he left his bed his bedsores would burst open and they would never heal again (win heartless people).


I'm so sorry that medical professionals whose job it is to care for and aid in the recovery of your husband-to-be, and that their medical judgement is he's unfit to safely leave his bed. It pains me to think that someone cares less for the potential recovery of the person they love than getting a slip of paper to say they're married, sealed for eternity or not.

Was the guy mentally sound enough to consent to marriage?

Good question! I believe that a certain level of mental competency is required before someone can entire into a legal marriage. I'm sure that one of our lawyer members has an answer.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.
