My FI and I would like to get married in the same church as my parents. We went to the church this past weekend to talk to the pastor and see what getting married there would entail. He said to get married in this particular church we would not only have to become members, but he would have to be the one to marry us.
I was bummed because I was hoping my childhood reverend would be able to marry us. I have no interest in joining this church and my FI is not one for church in the first place.
Do most churches ask you to become members in order to use their chapel or is this one just special? I have more than enough time to find another church but this one is special to me and my family.
