Introducing myself

I didn't even realize this board was here! So, I think I should introduce myself and ask a few questions since I'm sure this will be a board I will be on frequentl.

I apologize in advance to others who have already "met" me as I'm sure you will hear a lot of the same stuff.

Wedding date is June 30, 2012
FI and I were engaged on March 16

FI is 31 and never married. I am 30 in 6 days and have been married.

Up until about 3 hours ago, we were having an outdoor wedding but due to some technical issues, we are now looking at being married in a church. This is where issue #1 is for us. FI is Catholic (though not practicing) and I'm Lutheran (practicing). We decided that a church wedding will make sense for several reasons.

However, even though my church seems like the obvious choice, it is unfortunately the church I was married in the first time. I love my church but can't seem to shake the fact that I've been married there previously. Do I just "suck it up" and get married in my home church or go with FI's church- a church he hasn't stepped foot in in years?

Also, I saw posts about how to include children into the ceremony. I have a 5 year old daughter that we want to be an integral part of the ceremony without taking away from our union as husband and wife. I will read up on those posts and get ideas!

Ok, I think that's everything for now. Just a WWYD about the church dilemma?

    Congrats on your engagement and welcome to the boards!!

    I agree with the advice from PP.  It's your church, why not get married there.  Would you not attend a particular service (Easter, Christmas, etc) there with your FI, because it was the church you were previously married in? Probably not.  Your wedding to your FI should not be treated any differently. 

    Happy Planning!!

    Thank you! I love what you ladies wrote. I never thought of it like that. Very touching way to think about it... my ex did take a lot from me! My church is beautiful and I love it but my pastor knows how I feel about it so we have looked into having the wedding at our sister church. But after what you guys have said, I may reconsider. I have 14 months to make a decision.

    The one thing I have figured out is that I know I want my pastor to do the service no matter where we go!
