church wedding?

[low_delta]

Someone was asking me, the other day, about my wedding plans. I told him we weren't going to be having a big church wedding. He asked me if my mom was okay with that. The question kind of took me by surprise, but I said that she's religious, but she knows that I'm not, so she'll be fine with whatever we do. I also figure that she's spent the last fifteen years being sure that I would never get married, so she's just happy that I'm getting married and won't care how.

For the record

If she was upset about it, and that mattered to you, it wouldn't be too hard for me to get married in her church. Methodist is what I'm used to.

Did I ever tell you that my ex-mother-in-law wanted us to have another wedding ceremony in her church (Catholic) because her church didn't recognize our Methodist wedding? Obviously, we didn't honor that ridiculous request.

Yeah, but it would be hard for me to get married in a church.

No, you never told me that. But I was aware she is loony.

It's funny about my mom's religiousness. She does have a strong belief, but you never hear about it.

you can always thing of the church as a very large hall......when i was married, the church was quite inexpensive.....LOLn

It's a hall that doesn't cost much money, but a preacher and some hymns are part of the deal, so you pay in another way. 8~)

Did something specific happen 15 years ago?

I wonder what my mother would have thought of my un-marriedness if she were alive.

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

No, nothing specific. That's just roughly how long I've been available.

Was your mother the type not to approve of such an arrangement?

I don't know. I feel a bit odd with it.
