church dilema
What would you guys do?
I am having trouble with finding a church. well, not really. This is the situation. We are getting married in Smithtown. I live in Nassau, FI lives in Suffolk. We wanted to get married in Nassau because we figured that since about 98% of our guests are from Nassau and a couple from Queens, it would be easier for them to go to the ceremony and go back home or whatever and wait for the reception (which starts @7pm) and just take one drive straight to Suffolk. Well we really like the church by his house (St. Anne) and I know the deacon and some people there and I am doing my communion and confirmation there so they told me it would be no problem if we wanted to get married there. We wouldn't even have to become members and they would be very accomodating to us.
My problem is would people even bother coming to our ceremony in Brentwood, driving back to Nassau, and then driving back to Smithtown later that afternoon? I should add that the other church that is closer wants us to become members and to be honest I really don't like the church. Not from the outside or anything, its just that I dont' really feel the church know what I mean? Would you guys go to a ceremony if it was far away?
