One thing I don't like with church weddings, aside from me being an atheist and not a hyppocrit (imo), is that religion sometimes steals attention away from what I think is important, which is the people getting married and their dedication to eachother and their love. Some priest reading passages from the bible often detracts from that, I think.
Also, churches feel sort of oppressive in that if I say something or accidentally cough, the acoustics make sure everyone knows  At least in Norwegian churches, people tend to turn quiet, obedient and not quite themselves. We wanted a more relaxed environment for our wedding. |
I feel the same, tore! We are getting married in the wilderness
It's not going to be a big deal, just a chilled summer day with our family and friends... at least, that's what I'd kinda planned it to be, but things are kinda tending to get a little bigger and grander than I originally set out to be - but that's ok!
But yeah, church wedding was totally not an option for me for those very reasons.
Edit: Thanks!
It's a pretty exciting time! You would know all about it!
