I have to vent about my CHURCH! (LONG!!)

I am sooo pissed about this place! Don't want to say the name...I will name in my review when its all said and done but for now I don't want them to screw me further

First of all...they gave me a problem about the priest...basically everyone is on vacation in July! So I had to find my own priest! I almost couldn't do Pre Cana because of this because no one could understand why I didn;t have a priest BUT my name was in the book...Everytime I called the rectory there was an issue...Yeah ok I snuck in there and wrote my own name in their freakin book!

Now I hear (from a fellow LIW Bride) that they have new regulations about decorations and that now nothing can be thrown outside the church.

If I wasn't six months away I might find another church!

This just really aggravates me because for 30 years my family has been a part of this parish. My brothers and I all made every sacrament there.

My mother gave (and still gives) lots of money every week and every holiday to the church and this is what I get???

ETA...I am overall dissappointed in my church...I thought I would have a better experience than I am having with them

My church won't allow us to throw things outside either - so I guess they are going to be a bit shocked when my guests throw rose petals! My thinking is - what are they going to do, unmarry me?!?!?!!?

My church is the same way. I know of someone who threw petals but, they had people with brooms close by

Its such a pain I know! I might do bubbles instead of the rose petals to avoid any problems.

I wouldn't worry about not being able to throw anything outside the church many places are like that. I found out my flower girl can't throw rose petals down the aisle - insurance reasons.

Regarding the priest why don't you ask you parish if they can recommend a priest from a neighboring parish that might do it. Even one of the priests they use to help them out on weekends. They should be able to get someone and if not call the diocease of Rockville Center (if we are talking about a RC church) and get them to help you out.
You shouldn't be denied getting married in your home parish because of a priest.
