The church we are getting married at does not have a permanent priest right now. So after going through the chain of command we ended up at a meeting tonight with the arch bishop of Queens, who immediately says that he will marry us...
However, after listening to him talk about India and sex-trade for almost an hour he starts telling us his 'rules':
1) He hates tardiness. If i am even 5 min late to the wedding he will leave - ummmm ok. 2) He hates photographers and doesnt want any at the wedding - what!
I challenged him on rule #2 explaining how important pics were for me. So he said, 'I will make an announcement before the wedding telling the guests that they are not allowed to take pics and you can have one photographer sit in the 4th row to take pics but he is not allowed to move.'
Again I challenged (politely). To which he responded, 'Well then Im not marrying you... I'll let you know when I find someone willing to marry you!'
ok.:
FH says I shouldnt have said anything!

WOHAAAA!
I hope that they find someone to marry you who understands how important those pics of you saying your vows are.
Sorry it was a rough meeting.
