Hello!
I am 27 years old and desire to have a Vedic marriage at an Iskcon temple. My girlfriend has agreed to this. We are both strict vegetarians and do not smoke cigarettes. However, I do, very rarely, smoke a cigar and on rare occaision we both drink wine, but we do not do this to get intoxicated.
It took me a very long time to go strict veg and quit smoking cigarettes, but I have been clean for nearly two years and I will never turn back. I know that I cannot be initiated but will any of this prevent us from being married in an Iskcon temple?
Thanks for your thoughts!
