Hey Ladies-- I am hoping someone can help me out here. I was raised Catholic my whole life, but have not really been a part of the church for a long time. At first, I wanted to make my parents (mostly my father) happy by getting married in a Catholic Church. After joining a church, reserving out date, and planning the wedding around that...I have changed my mind.
The church we orginally reserved is an hour away from our reception venue. I don't like the fact that it is so far way and my guests will have to make that drive. I did look into a church closer to the venue, by the time tables didn't work out.
I have talked to my parents and my FMIL and they have all assured me that they do not mind if we do not get married in a church. My dad's only stipulation was that he prefer it be indoors, not out. That is fine with me.
Now, the question....I am wondering if we can still have a Catholic ceremony at our venue if it is indoor. I know through my research, many priests will not marry us outside of the church, but I wasnt sure if that was OUTSIDE, or all together outside the walls of the church. Of course I tried to call the priest, but he is seriously the busiest man alive apparently and I can NEVER get a hold of him so in the meantime, i thought id ask you ladies.
TIA!
