The Imperial Wedding of Princess Chae-Won Parker, the daughter of Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker, and Chawosaurian Revolution war veteran Enrique Leon Ángeles Obregón, will take place at Chawopolis City, events are still being planned. The imperial wedding will be held on Valentines Day, February 14, 2024.

The imperial wedding is extremely controversial and divisive, because Enrique is Roman Catholic, and a public, taxpayer-funded wedding between a couple who one of them is a Catholic is an alienating turnoff for the Chawosaurian public. and with Supreme Leader Parker acutely aware of universal public opposition to the imperial wedding, intentionally obstructed proceedings of the wedding against his own daughter's wishes to convince Enrique to publicly denounce his faith so he can marry her with ease, but Parker and Enrique fought in a standoff over his religion and his intention to marry Chae-Won. Additionally, Parker has gotten sick with stomach cancer, forcing him to temporally relinquish his powers and responsibilities over to his General Secretary, Linghu Xiaoliang, who is a hardliner in the Chawosaurian Communist Party who certainly would veto the imperial wedding and a Supreme Leader's veto is absolute and cannot be overturned compared to a presidential veto in the United States. This bolstered the pressure on Enrique to abandon his religion and become an atheist if he wanted to marry and live the rest of his life with the woman he loved so dearly.

After several months of intense negotiations, the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace agreed to hold the controversial wedding on the terms that ELAO renounces his Catholic faith and accept a purely secular wedding. ELAO reluctantly abandons his Catholic religion purely for love.

## Background

> *Main article: Interfaith marriage in Chawosauria*

>

In the culture of the Empire of Chawosauria, interfaith marriage has been a taboo, especially between Secular Chawosaurians and Chawosaurian Catholics.

## Brutal Negotiations and Wedding Deal

It took intense and tug-of-warfare negotiations for the imperial wedding to be allowed, Parker demanded concessions from ELAO and Wona in exchange for their permission to marry.

Parker demanded that ELAO abandons his Catholic faith for good in exchange for marriage, but ELAO and Parker fought for several months until an agreement between ELAO and Parker arrived, ELAO will abandon his religion just briefly in exchange for marrying Wona on Chawosaurian grounds, and revert to Catholicism the day after the wedding, while Parker demanded that Wona and ELAO accept their banishment from Chawosauria for their interfaith marriage, as polls shows their marriage is universally unpopular amongst Chawosaurians, and that Chawosaurians hold very strong feelings against having Catholics in one's family, and that it would be a big political burden on Parker to have a daughter who is married to a Catholic.

On December 18, 2023, ELAO and Wona accepted Parker's demands, and the Imperial Wedding was approved that day.

## Wedding Procedure

The Chawosaurian wedding procedure is entirely secular. Not officiated by a priest, Chawosaurian marriages are instead officiated by s judge. June Park, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Empire of Chawosauria, will officiate the marriage of Wona and ELAO.
