In Response to Re: Christian/athiest wedding:
Christian weddings do not have to be overly Christian (ours won't be and we are both Christians), however if you have a pastor doing it (regardless of if its free or not), most do require time to give a short message. (We have agreed to 7-10 minutes with our pastor) Just curious if your FI is a strong practicing Christian what does he think about passages in the bible that mention not being yoked with an unbeleiver and how does the officiant feel about it? (not judging, just wondering if you have had that conversation, because you can't pick and choose which parts of christianity to follow...it's kind of an all or nothing deal, the Bible to be 100% true or its not, and if it's not true then why be a Christian if you don't beleive in the validity of God's word?, I would hope this gets serious discussion in this stage rather then becoming an issue later.)

Not to get into another one of these debates, but really - everything in the Bible is 100% true?
"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything." (Ephesians 5:22-24)
"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." (I Corinthians 14:34-35)
"Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die." (Eccles. 25:22)
