[quote=Anonymous]We had our older siblings, who were willing to fly in, under the pressure of grandparents to choose them over friends (some of whom were pretty devout).

"Family is forever".  We needed a letter from their parish that they were "in good standing" at their churches.

Turned out, they each needed a tune-up. You can have 1 in good standing and 1 "+1".

One sibling was sure a family member on the other side would lie is a letter and say they attended mass at that parish (Shocker-the priest said, "Come to church"). The other also has trouble getting a letter because they did a few things "rogue".

Neither of our siblings had a church wedding.

This is why grandmas make a big deal about these crazy details.  They can come up later.

Totally respect the choices of my other family members to worship (or not) in a way that works for their family.

For the next kid we went with the people to whom it would mean the most, spiritually.  That was a better choice.
