Religious OR Non-Religious Ceremony

I wanted a church wedding and he didn't. We compromised by using a nondenominational chapel so we both kind of got what we wanted for our wedding.

That's awesome!

We are both religious. I'm catholic and he is Methodist. His family bounced around churches his whole life. My family has went to the same church my whole life. He had no problem getting married in my church and since he isn't catholic we aren't having a full mass.

Well, I'd say ours is definitely Christ-centered...I'm marrying a pastor! lol Oddly enough, we're not getting married IN a church, rather at an arboretum down the street from one of the two churches he pastors. His good friend and previous mentor will be officiating...a retired pastor.

I was raised Catholic, but no longer affiliate myself with the church. He was raised Lutheren, but also has nothing to do with the church. We are not having a religious ceremony. Just a JP, with some beautiful words about love, life, and marriage.

We are both non-religious and are not getting married in a church. We are having a secular ceremony by an awesome officiant in the hall we are having the reception.

We are having a non-religious ceremony because we are simply not religious

I always pictured myself getting married in a church when I was little but now that it's happening I don't want that!

We are both religious but wanted an outdoor ceremony. We haven't looked into an Officiant yet.

I'm agnostic. He considers himself Christian but isn't super-religious. We're getting married in a garden at a park, and the pastor from the church he sometimes goes to is officiating. But this pastor is also a family friend of his, so it doesn't feel overly religious (which was important to me).

Most of our ceremonies are non or very slightly religious, but that doesn't mean the brides and grooms are. Sometimes it's differing beliefs, sometimes a total lack of them, but a well written ceremony can be as religious or non-religious as you want.

I'm Lutheran and my FH is catholic. We are not doing our ceremony specifically to either religion but God will be brought up. My FH's uncle is officiating and it's nice because we can decide exactly what we want to be said.

Neither of us are religious. We are having our ceremony at a B&B venue and FHs uncle is officiating.

I am nondenominational christian, he is a buddhist. We compromised by opening with a prayer and then having a buddhist reading! There is always a compromise-- believe me!

We're atheists, but my family is either Southern Baptist or Methodist depending on the branch. FH's family is Lutherans. We chose an outdoor wedding to avoid being browbeaten into a church or someplace we didn't feel comfortable. My family does not know about my beliefs as I do not want them to worry about me being cursed to the fires of eternal hell... which I don't believe in.

Anyways, I've talked with my FH, and we're going to have a moment of silence for prayers, thoughts, and well-wishes for us joining our lives together. I'm hoping that will help avoid the "you didn't mention God in your wedding" conversation with my family lol.

We are both religious so we'll be having a religious ceremony. My retired pastor will be officiating. I've known him since I was five and he's practically another grandfather to me.

I'm Apostolic and he's Non-Denomination but we both identity with being Christian. I love the Lord but I never saw myself getting married in a church. Our venue is a jazz club type of place and our officiant is my aunt who is a pastor. My mother on, the other hand is super spiritual/religious and I had to compromise with her over cocktail hour (but that's another story)

We are both atheists, and while I would have been happy to get married in a Unitarian church, DH's one-and-only wedding request was 'No churches'.... so we got married at a country club, and it was lovely.

FH and family are religious, and I am non-practicing. We will be married outside of the church (as I am not confirmed nor feel comfortable in a church) by a reverend...who I assume will be offering minimal religious references for my FH's sake

Thank you for all your responses!

We were both raised in a Christian home and are very active in our church. We both knew we wanted to be married in a church and have a religious ceremony.
