Re: DOES ANYONE HAVE INFO ON CHURCH WEDDINGS
it really depends on how much the fee for the church is to begin with. then add i dont know a few hundred to it...but only if they give you a hard time...dont approach this until you ask the priest first

Can we tone down the CAPs... it's like you're shouting at me.
Donations are anywhere from 400 - 1k depending on your church. The priest will spell it out for you. You will also need to pay the vocalist and the organist.
All of the info I needed was on my church website, so I suggest you check there.

Re: DOES ANYONE HAVE INFO ON CHURCH WEDDINGS
i had issues trying to find a church, so i feel your anxiety. defnaately speak with the priest first. get an appointment as soon as possible. and dont lie. dont worry. are you in the vacinity of the church so geographically it is your parish too? if so, i think you are more than fine....

Re: DOES ANYONE HAVE INFO ON CHURCH WEDDINGS
dont stop nagging them is my main advice cuz my FH worked in a rectory and he has said that they way they avoid nonparishoners is they dont return their calls. That is what happened to my parents on their anniversary. My mom called 5 times and they NEVER got back to her so she ended up going to another church...and the church that never called back was the church they were married in!!!!!
