We chose a church as I really want to be married in one; a civil ceremony just didn't seem right! Ray is Anglican and I am Roman Catholic, so he was a bit concerned about it at first. We both loved the inside of this church though, and will fit our guests in nicely. My own parish church is too big, and even with 100 guests it wouldn't look full.
I rang up last year when I had my wisdom teeth removed, and they had times available on the 7th October, which was what we wanted. But 3pm was booked, so I had to get 1.30pm. Ray rang up a few days later though, as was able to change it to 4.30pm, which makes it easier for the guests. They won't have to wait as long between the ceremony and dinner!
We attended the Pre-Marriage course which was compulsory last July, and found it really helpful in deepening our relationship. We would recommend doing some kind of course before you get married to anyone planning a wedding! If anyone wants the notes and questions we looked at on the weekend, e-mail me, as I typed them up for some of the girls on i-do.com.
