Over the summer we started looking for a church for the ceremony. The first church we looked at is the church that FH's family belongs to. His mother is fairly active in the church. We went to check it out and it is honestly unattractive. The pews are orange and there's not much decor. They also don't have air conditioning and it was really hot in there.
Then we looked at a local church that we really liked. It's a big, pretty church and the members seemed really laid back. They also have air conditioning. The church put us in the book that day and gave us a form to fill out. The secretary said to take our time because she put us in the book. Well when my FH dropped off the form a couple months later the secretary said there was an incident a year ago and it would be an extra 200 dollars for someone to unlock the door and turn the lights on. I think that's kind of ridiculous and decided not to book that church. Continued in comments...
