Did you get married in a church?

[DisneyAddict_M]

I didn't. I don't think it matters where you get married as long as it's legal!

Got married in our living room and we didn't have any issues with our parents because they didn't know we got married until afterwards.

I got married in a chapel in Vegas. So I guess that counts as a church.

But the service wasn't religious at all til the person performing it slipped up and threw in an "in the eyes of god" or something like that. But my grandparents were there, major catholics, so I figured at least they got there wish. We were married "in a church" and "in the eyes of god".

We got married in an art gallery with no mention at all of anything remotely religious - no prayer, nothing. Neither one of us is religious at all, so I didn't feel right about pretending to be on our wedding day. Our families are all over the place as far as religion goes. Mine run the gamut between Southern Baptist and athiest and his are mostly Jehovah's Witnesses. None of them said anything about our choice of wedding location, though. They all understood that it was our day - our choice. We've always been lucky to have wonderful family members who support our decisions - even if they might privately disagree or question them. Anyway, our wedding was exactly what we wanted and everybody loved it!

Got married in a Catholic Church Wasn't even an option for me to do something else.

If I weren't Catholic, I'd probably have done a really private ceremony on a beach somewhere :

We got married at City Hall. The only people present were DH, me, DD and my best friend. Oh and the judge and his witness. It was the only decision for us - neither of us likes to be in the limelight.

And oh, it only cost 30 bucks for a marriage license. When I hear what others spend on getting married, I shudder.

I think the only person who wished we would have had a splashier wedding was my mom - but it wasn't her choice, so she got over it.

DH and I got married in a Catholic nuptial Mass and wouldn't have had it any other way. It was wonderful. A priest who was a good family friend officiated the Mass.

We got married in the same church as my parents. I love the sentimental aspect of that. Plus it was the church I attended regularly growing up. ..................P

 

[Shugardrawers]

Nope, not us. Nobody cared either. Our families were just glad we had found each other and wanted us to be happy no matter where we started our life together.

 

[JerseyJanice]

We didn't get married in "a church," we got married in "The Church." (As in the Roman Catholic Church.)

Very glad we did. I wouldn't have had it any other way. JMHO, but The Church does weddings and funerals like no other.

I enjoy the pomp and circumstance--I even enjoy Mass.

No, we were married in a beautiful place, kind of an "event facility" type place (it looks like an old house, and the reception is held in the same place, etc.). Since we paid for our own wedding, no one else had the right to say anything!

But, seriously, it was not an issue for anyone in either family. We are Baptist and we believe that God is with you everywhere, not just in a particular building. Our regular pastor from our church married us, we had Bible verses read, and prayers said.

 

[PhotobearSam]

In a Catholic church in my home town. It was always my dream.

 

[Kahana-ri]

We are not church going people. We were married outside at 11 am on a historic site, over looking Narragansett Bay, with grapevine arbors, 18th century garden, under an oak tree. It was everything that I dreamed it would be. We had DS christened at the same place. Technically, it was a 'baby dedication'.

 

[Mimi Q]

We got married in my church.

 

[lvs_eeyore]

We got married at the church my dh attended. I started attending it also and became a member. We had all intentions of continuing to go to church after we were married but the church made such an ordeal of us getting married that neither of us wanted to go there again after the ceremony. They even suggested we put off the wedding due to a test we both took until I told them either they go on with the wedding as planned or we would leave the church and have our wedding at the outside pavillion where the reception was to be.

When we renewed our vows at the twenty year mark....I guess the test was wrong huh?......we did it a Leu Gardens in Orlando in a beautiful outside gazebo with our children present. LOL I even played Your Still the One as my walk down song. We love the song and it kinda let those naysayers that were present know that even though they said we'd never make it.....we did and are still going strong.

 

[Deb & Bill]

We got married in my Catholic Church and not my In-laws Catholic Church. It just happened that my church was the one my husband attended catholic school at when he was a kid and it was his family's church.

We went through the Pre-Marital program at the church. We had our reception at the church, too, and not at the country club like my SIL's always did. I was 31 and my husband was 29, so we were rather independent already.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

We're Jewish (I converted) and we were married at a State Park in Oregon that is at the confluence of 2 rivers. Very romantic... We had a small reception in my parent's backyard. We were married 23 years ago.

Does a wedding chapel in Gatlinburg, TN count as a church
