Can you have programs?
What can you throw if anything?
How much is the 'donation'?
Do they do pre-cana at that church? If not, where can you take it?
How close are the videographer and photographer allowed to the alter?

That is all I can think of right now.

Also ask if you can use an aisle runner. My church frowns upon them becuse some people have apparently tripped on them (guests? Bride? who knows?). Anyways, my Mom is so upset that I may not have a runner, but the way I look at it is you gotta sometimes give in and not worry about having every detail exactly the way you imagine it...The day will still be a beautiful one. I'd rather get married by the priest that i want, in the curch that I want than go somewhere that I am unfamiliar with all because of an aisle runner!

Someone had mentioned that her church doesn't allow strapless dresses. So, if you're dress is strapless you may want to ask.

Re: Anyone help me out?

do they allow flowers on the alter/pews/etc.?
do they allow the flower girl to throw rose petals?
what kind of paperwork do they require for the person who not a member of that particular parish (ie - baptismal certificate)?
when do you need to meet again?
are there restrictions as to times for the ceremony/mass (because of mass schedule of monthly batisms, etc)?

Have you booked your hall yet? Some churches won't book the date unless you already have the hall...because of the date switching and stuff like that.
