I am so nervous about calling the church. I want to have my wedding in March. We really just started planning. I know it is really short notice but we already live together and I am not having that big of a guest list 70-80 people. I really have to get cracking...........

I hated calling churches- I made FH do it. ( ok, he volunteered when he saw how intimidated I was)

Re: Nervous about calling church
Don't worry!! I actually hate picking up the phone to call any of the vendors (I always feel like a jerk) but know what you mean, the church is a little intimidating ...
I'm wimpy so my FH called .. but then again, it is his church we are being married in.. we are having a short engagement so its the FIRST thing we did . If you are looking for a March date, do it today!
PS: We live together also, and believe me they are NOT judgemental..

If i were you i would start calling the church asap, it takes my priest days to return my phone calls and i know my friends have had te same experiences with there churches. So try not to wait to long.

Re: Nervous about calling church
I would call ASAP...also, are you getting married in the Catholic Church? Our engagement was a quick one (5 months) and the Catholic church gave me a hard time about the time frame, saying they needed to give the diocese at least six months notice, unless we had extenuating circumstances. I finally found a church that would work with us, but it wasn't my own.
Good luck!! Oh, and I've had the same problems with the Deacons not calling me back...

What kinds of question do they usually ask? Now I am scared!

Re: Nervous about calling church
The ones we called weren't too nosy, but mine was booked & others wouldn't take outsiders or wouldn't call back.
The living together thing won't come up till you have to fill out paperwork & they ask addreses. I don't know if all preists feel the same about this. We don't live toghether, so it wasn't an issue.
A 6 month wait is standard for Catholic & Episcopal churches.
There are always people who like to break the rules though . . .
