I am wondering for those that did not choose a church that you grew up in (since I moved to NY when I was 7 I never really went to church, we tried a couple but didn't like any) how did you choose the church you would get married in???
Getting married in a church is important to me, but I am just unsure how to go about picking it, and wondering how everyone else chose.
Did you base it on closeness to reception hall, close to your house, a church you heard good things about etc etc.???

Re: Repost 08: Church Question
I had originally been booked with the church I grew up going to but unfortuantely they gave me the run around and a priest never wanted to meet with us that we finally gave up. I looked at 3 churches in my neigborhood and chose the prettiest one. May not be the best way to choose it but that's how we did and I couldn't be happier because the priest who wil be marrying us is soooo nice!

Re: Repost 08: Church Question
my FH and I grew up on long island, but now we live in philly. we are getting married at a church that is near our hall and that allowed us to get married there. we could have gotten married at my parish that i grew up in but the time wasn't convenient for us.

Re: Repost 08: Church Question
I hate to say it but it was mostly on looks...we got married at a Greek Orthodox church which is DHs religion and he's not from NY so we were starting from scratch...
We looked at one close to our reception hall and one that was close to my mom's house and just for kicks a more cathedral like one that was way too far away from everything....the one closer to my mom's house was a million times prettier on the inside so we were already leaning towards that one...then we met the Priest we were sold...he was nice and young and we could totally picture being married by him...
We were lucky because we didn't have very many to choose from but in general I think you should go by location, appearance/if you can see yourself getting married there and how well you mesh with the officiant...HTH
