[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not religious and think it will be easier to get married at the same venue as our reception. Fiancé grew up catholic but isn’t a practicing catholic. His family and him think a church wedding is more appropriate, but I feel it’s weird to get married in a church when I’m not religious. I feel like it’s making a mockery of the religion. Should I give in because it’s not that important to me?  [/quote]

No I would have the wedding you want.   They had their wedding now you have yours.  [/quote]

I guess OP can marry herself then b/c the title is "Fiance wants a church wedding" and last I checked a wedding is between two people. The two people involved here do not agree. [/quote]

The title is not accurate because in a follow up post she says:

“OP here. He wants to appease his family and get married in a church like almost all of his family.”

So really the title should be “Fiancé wants a church wedding to appease his family even though his bride to be doesn’t want to get married in the church.”

They’re talking about lying to a priest that they intend to raise their kids Catholic. I share OP’s concerns that the vibes are off on getting married under false pretenses.

So, the fiancé wants a Catholic wedding for reason: x,y, z.  Same difference. They are not on the same page.[/quote]

She wants a wedding outside of a church for her own intrinsic reasons. DH’s family wants them to get married in a church for their own intrinsic reasons.

DH is saying he wants a church wedding because he wants to do what his family wants. It’s not his own personal desire, but is a reason based on outside influence. If his parents woke up tomorrow and said “you two do whatever you want for your wedding we support you no matter what,” would he still be asking OP to marry in a church?

I’m curious if DH’s family is paying for the wedding in some way. OP hasn’t answered that.[/quote]
