well. after nine hours of arguements with everyone it seems we've managed to come up with a solution. My parents have a somewhat big house with a deck overlooking a lake so we're going to try to get two officiants representing catholocism and judaism to marry us there, and then still go to the restaurant for the reception. now we just have to find our officiants. thanks so much for all of your advice and kind words.

Just make sure you check with your local archdiocese. I know in the Boston Archdiocese you cannot be married outside, with a priest. Just an fyi!

then you don't have to worry about being in a church or not! We're getting married in 'Japan' on a garden bridge.

besides, I don't think God really cares if you get married in a building called a church -- or out under the blue vaulted cathedral ceilings of sky, sun and stars that He created.

its your union, your eternal commitment to each other that is holy and sacred. not the architectural structure that you were standing in when you made that commitment.
