We have spent long hours thinking and praying about this issue. Although we have not been convinced of our error, due to multiple ambiguities in the law* we have decided to get a marriage license with the intention of honoring our parents.

We do not wish to get dwell on the legality of this issue, as we have many other uncontested points. We desire to respect and honor our parents, and have decided to submit to their wishes, especially since Joy is currently under her parent’s authority.

We apologize to those we have offended or hurt. This was never our goal.

Jason & Joy
