Hi, all. My FI and his family are Catholic, whereas I don't associate with any particular religion. We have made plans to have a destination wedding in Mexico, but because of the somewhat complicated paperwork, my FI and I agreed to have a nondenominational ceremony there and simply take care of the legal paperwork in the states. We have discussed the issue of religion and he believes that it is unnecessary to have our union blessed by the Catholic church in order for him to maintain his faith. BUT, my FMIL recently asked us if we would please consider letting the priest marry us instead of the justice of the peace like we had planned. I said that this doesn't bother me if it's something my FI would want, but now she seems to think that this will be taking place in the church (I thought with permission Catholic priests can marry couples elsewhere?) with all of the family in attendance. I was okay with the idea initially, before I had much time to think it through, but now I feel that she is devaluing the day we have planned to celebrate our wedding (ceremony in Mexico) and our "real wedding" in her eyes will be the Catholic ceremony she has requested. We said we would only want the priest and our witness at this event but she has already turned the situation into an event that she and all of the immediate family will be at...where do I even begin to approach this situation?!! She took something that I barely agreed to being ok with and really ran with it!
