[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is multiple venues a Christian thing? 
I’ve been to mostly Jewish weddings, and lots of them, and they’re always all in one place.

I went to one Christian wedding years ago where the ceremony was at a church and then we all had to go to some other place. I can’t remember how I got there. I was mostly stunned that I was wildly overdressed in a plain cocktail dress and that there was a cash bar. [/quote]

Don't think so. The most ultra religious people we know got married in a barn.

Priests/ministers/rabbis/imams have legs. They are portable. [/quote]

A Catholic priest is not celebrating a mass in a barn and for some couples having a mass is an important part of the wedding ceremony. A priest won't do that anywhere but inside a church.[/quote]

Catholicism is a whole different story - very strict.  Episcopal, you can basically do what you want - that is why people "convert" (not even sure that entails anything, but showing up at a different church building when it is time to get married)  - usually because they do not want to be bothered with all that Catholicism entails.  Which is not the best reason to "convert", but some people value convenience over the actual religious teachings. But i think Episcopalian still makes you use the church facility. Jewish people, and other denominations often get married in the same venue as the reception. Not familiar with others offhand. [/quote]
