I moved to New Jersey 7 years ago and never realized the hassle I would run into when I went to plan my wedding. I would love to be married in a Catholic church, but because I do not live or belong where I plan to get married the Catholic church denied me.
I live in North Jersey, but am getting married in South Jersey and because I will not live there full time or belong to a church down south they will not allow me to be married there. I have called a handful of churches in the Bayville, Tom River area and all have turned me away.
Does anyone know if there is a way for the rules to be "broken" to allow an "outsider" which one of the churches called me, to be married in a church?
I currently don't belong to one in New Jersey becasue I am originally from MA, and belonged to the ones my parents go to.
