A young woman in her late 20s found herself in a tricky situation after her recent wedding. She and her wife had been together for four years before tying the knot in a low-key courthouse ceremony. However, she had not come out to her extended family, including her grandparents. After her grandmother passed away, she decided to reveal her relationship on social media, but it seems her grandpa remained in the dark. The truth came out during a family gathering, leaving her to wonder if she should have been more explicit about her marriage.
