I didn't know getting married in the church was still that popular. Maybe in Louisiana it is.

The best thing about summer weddings is that I can wear jeans and flip flops and my toes don't get cold.

Why do people intend on doing this? Out of all the weekends in the year to do a wedding they do it right in the middle of football season. Does this irk anyone else or is it just me? What says the OT?


There is more to life than a football game. Once you figure that out you may enjoy life a bit more.

With that said, I enjoy some football as much as the next guy, but Im beyond the point where I get angry or too overjoyed by the wins and losses and it definitely does not have an influence on a decision such as attending a friend or family members wedding.

I haven't attended a wedding in a church in probably 10 years now

anniversary will be celebrated every year for the rest of your life. Choosing the wedding day has impacted far more than just that one day.


Well considering I love fall it doesn't upset me in the least I get to celebrate my anniversary every year during one of my favorite seasons

I attended maybe 2 weddings in 10 years. All of my friends were married before me.

But serious question, where are these people having weddings?

Really? I've been to nothing but weddings in churches other than the most recent one, and that was pushed up due to an illness in the family.

Hotels, resorts, beaches, nice parks, those huge lofts on the top floors of many tall buildings that you can rent out...

Have you really never been to these?

plantations, venues specifically built for weddings/events, outside in fields, etc

My wedding was on my parents property in a field under a large oak tree

I think Catholics care more about church weddings. And Catholic churches are generally nicer than Baptist churches so it would kinda make sense.

Hmmm... now that I think about it, I've been to plenty that weren't at churches. Mine wasn't.

The last one I went to was in NOLA at a church though.

The next one I'm going to is also in NOLA not at a church.

Yes. But the vast majority have been in the Church. I live in South Louisiana. Catholicism is a social class as much as a religion.

You pretty much have to be married in the Church if you are Catholic. It's a sacrament.

I know people that had their "actual" wedding,reception, etc, outside the church, then got "Catholic married" sometime later, without a reception or anything and just immediate family.

Their "actual" wedding was in the Church. They had a "wedding party" some other time.

I went to one like that last Summer... except they had done the church ceremony a few days earlier instead of later. Then had the wedding at the girl's parents' property outside of Fort Collins. Real nice, Rocky Mountain backdrop, nice weather even in June.

I got married on the day of the Georgia game two years ago. As much as I enjoy LSU football, watching 18-19 year old guys roll around on the ground is not my primary concern in life.

Nah. Sorry, bro. But they were legally married the first time. That's not really how marriage works.
