hmmm just a thought here.... if she could set up the date & place and send out invitations, you would think she could have found her own minister. I guess that was just a minor detail she forgot. :shrug:

Just call the "less stringent" denominational churches such as Lutheran or Methodist--definitely not Catholic as the previous post states, they'll be required to meet several times, :blahblah:, :blahblah:, :blahblah: --and ask if the Pastor does ceremonies outside of his church and if he is available on July 19th. It'll usually run you $50 and up! Here's one number that I know of 301-870-8707, LUMC. Good luck!

The courthouse can give you a list of ministers who will do weddings outside of their church (at least they did when I got married 17 years ago).

If you don't feel church is important enough to attend on a regular basis, why was it important to get married in one?

So no one who doesnt go to church reguarly souldnt be able to be married in a church? I remember when churches seemed to be long to the people but now they belong to the corporation.

:yeahthat: There's no "rule" that states that only a priest, minister, etc., can perform a wedding ceremony. If your sister is not getting married in a church than it's apparent that religion isn't that important to her.

Hubby and I are not religious and don't attend church service. For that reason, we didn't feel it would be appropriate for us to get married in a church. We were married by a judge (who happened to be a friend of a friend) who did a beautiful ceremony outdoors at a gazebo, at the place where our reception was being held. We were able to have the exact ceremony we wanted, including readings from friends, a unity candle and a string quartet. She personalized the ceremony to suit us and it was beautiful.

We were married up in NY so I can't recommend the particular judge we used, but I'm sure that you and your sister would be able to find someone. Good luck!

Well, yeah. :rolleyes:

If you feel that being in a church, and participating in a church ceremony for your wedding is that important, why wouldn't you want to do that all of the time?

Just wondered why the building woud be important for a wedding if it's not an important part of your life.
