LEAMINGTON, ON
Thomas, 19, and Mary, 18, got married just seven months ago and have invited all the Fehrs and a few Friesens over for the “Faith Reveal Party” of their first child this Sunday afternoon.
“Oba, well, all the Englishers like to have a big surprise telling everyone if it’s a boy or a girl,” said Mary Fehr, “but I think it’s much more interesting to reveal an infant’s religion!”
The Friesens and Fehrs have gathered at Point Pelee National Park where Mary will smash a piñata and reveal whether their newborn is some kind of Mennonite, Lutheran, or, worse case scenario, a “complete heathen.”
“I’ll be excited no matter what the piñata says,” says eager grandmother Gertie Fehr. “As long as that child is healthy and is baptized upon confession of their faith just before their wedding I’ll be one happy grandmother.”
