For Kathi - priests' names

Hi Kathi, I came across these two names in my notes - Fr. Henry (or it may be Henery)a retired priest in NYC (212) 594 2069. Also Fr. Fehrenbacher in NYC (212) 594 2069. I had gotten their names from various posts on theknot.com but I never actually ended up speaking with either gentelmen. I also had the name of one other priest in LI - I'll get back to you with that one.
Good Luck

Linda - (long)

You know what I just found out...in Europe I guess (Poland I know for sure, unless it has changed in the last 5 years) that you get married by the state and then go to the church after the marriage and get blessed by the church. This is supposedly in a RC church too...I guess Poland doesn't allow the church to be the 'marrier.' I think it is kind of strange that you absolutely *have* to be married in the church. I love my religion but I have always felt there are some strange things or 'rules.'

So, I wonder if you could ask about that? Could you get the church's blessing after marriage by the state?!
