Whats your opinion?

My fiance and I always said we wanted to have our ceremony at the R.H.

Our current plan is to have the ceremony at the Reception Hall, on the water. Eventually when we get back from our honeymoon. Do a small church ceremony, just because I would like to eventually baptize our children.

I always love going to weddings where the ceremony is at the R.H. Everyone is all dressed up, its more conveniant for the guests. no long 3 hour waits...

However, Im becoming torn. If it rains, Im not crazy about the chapel room at the R.H. It would be nice to have him Not see me before the pictures. I wont have to worry about paying 2 fee's(donations) Wont have to worry about hiring 2 musicians. Maybe I should just have it on our wedding day, at the church?

Am I being a hypocrite if my FH and I never go to the church only the reception and now all of a sudden I decide to do a church ceremony?

So confused. Anyone's opinions? both sides?

As I am jewish, I prefer attending it in a reception hall. I always feel weird in churches.
HOWEVER, I HATE an empty church. I think it is rude when people come only to the reception and not to the ceremony!!!!!! Whenever I have a church wedding, I go to the church.

Wow! This is great info.

Are you sure? You don't need to be married in the church anymore to have your children baptized?

I went to catholic school all my life (maybe thats why im not too religious these days) and they drlled that in our heads. Is it an old tradition that is no longer????
