The FH and I can't agree on who to marry us.  I want my uncle and my FH wants it to be a minister.  I have no problem with a minister but the minister I would like has a wedding the same evening as our wedding.  So I was thinking...We could have the minister marry us that morning with our close family there and then my uncle could do the ceremony at the chapel.  Anyone else do this or think it is a good idea?  I need opinions!!!

    What about having them both participate? I don't think you are going to want to deal with two ceremonies on your wedding day, and it might feel weird.

    We can't have the minister we both want at our evening ceremony because he is already booked.  I don't want some random guy I meet at the rehersal marrying me.  I'd rather it be the mininster of our church or my uncle.

    I have heard of people having an intimate ceremony followed by a large reception, but not having two ceremonies.   There is no point in having a second ceremony when you were already married earlier in the day.

    I just say your FI has to suck it up Tongue out, b/c it is not your fault that your churches minister is already booked. Use your uncle...unless it REALLY bothers your FI ask him to compromise on this with you

    Ditto PPs, not to mention the fact that you will be so busy that day, and having two ceremonies would up your stress level. Is there another minister at the church that you two know that could marry you?

    It is not uncommon in Europe. For example, my Irish sister in law had a small, family only ceremony in the morning followed by a blessing and full blown reception in the evening.
