Reply to comment by WesternSol in [WP] As a vampire, I follow traditions. My fiancé is human and just found out that human brides/grooms are to be bit to become a vampire themselves. She absolutely refuses to let that happen, and says the wedding is off unless I refuse to bite her. I feel like she's disrespecting tradition. AITA? by Crystal1501

I wouldn't go as far as telling she is using him but there clearly is some selfishness into basically telling him he'll have to live seeing her state deteriorate and one die and then continue his life as if everything was okay. But on the other hand, I guess that for a human immortality can be pretty terrifying at first glance. She'd have the same problem toward her entire family after all ! It seems like some kind of double edge situation.

Forgive me, but you sound young, so let me educate you. This is why its bad to mix the races. Humans are too... small to sympathize with vampires. I've lost more a hundred times as many friends in my 2000 years than it is possible to loose family in a human lifetime. The truth is, whatever losses she might feel in the short term, by her 300th year, they would feel as significant to her as the death of a gerbil. On the other hand, the sheer amount of work that goes into getting a growth license cannot be understated. I don't know how recently you've looked at the regulations, but last I checked, it takes 1000 years or a death in the family for a dynasty to get one. And you can only use them to do one thing: either to conceive or convert. One new family member every thousand years. And to give up that, for a woman who isn't even excited to spend eternity with you? Who doesn't respect your families sacrifice? It saddens me to see the extent to which our culture has fallen.

Him?

I kinda took it for granted that they're lesbians.

Vampire wedding just seems really gay, for some reason?
