Tipping the priest??

Um, do we have to do that? There is already a church fee that we paid, but someone told me you 'tip' the priest. My mom says dont, but what do you ladies think?

That's a hard one. I think many brides choose to do that, but we opted not to. We felt the $500 fee was enough.

NO way, I am NOT tipping the priest. I know that sounds harsh, but they have the nerve to charge what they do AND tell me I can thow certain things, etc.... so the 'donation' of almost $600 should just about cover our 30 minute ceremony.

we are not tipping , but since he is a friend of the family too we will be buying him a small something or other to thank him, but i think the fee is enough!
