As my headline states this is battle roy-ale!
I'm a ver dedicated, practicing catholic, FI isn't practicing anything. We wanted an afternoon church ceremony and a baseball reception at our local minor league RED SOX (woot!)
When we sat his mother down to tell her, she got angry and upset and her first question was "Well what donomination is the ceremony?"
Both of us stunned, FI said catholic, she then continues to go on about how his father (god bless his soul, passed away 4yrs) would've never supported marrying a catholic!
How awful my faith is and how strict we are, we're horrible people etc. etc.
FI and I have been dating for 3yrs, she has never had a problem with me. She knew i was catholic and you can count the amount of times she's been to church on one hand.
What should we do to compromise? Eloping is not an option
