Wedding venues are out of control. Very few are married in churches anymore.

Date: September 26th, 2022 3:10 PM Author: outnumbered swashbuckling juggernaut university It’s sad. Because marriage was traditionally done in a church. I was married in a church. Thinking back on weddings that I have been to though. After about 2005, church weddings really fell off. Then they kept falling off. I haven’t been to a wedding ceremony in an actual church since my own. |

Date: September 26th, 2022 6:54 PM Author: outnumbered swashbuckling juggernaut university I remember I wasn’t even invited to a colleague’s wedding 10+ years ago. She got married in a church. I was also invited to another church wedding but I ended up missing it because the service was at like 1330 with a reception following. Definitely wasn’t expecting an afternoon affair like that.

Date: September 26th, 2022 3:14 PM Author: outnumbered swashbuckling juggernaut university Our wedding was at the Episcopal Church. Our reception was at the Lutheran Church Parish Hall two blocks away (it was nicer because it was the old sanctuary, converted to the Parish Hall).

Date: September 26th, 2022 3:45 PM Author: outnumbered swashbuckling juggernaut university sounds like a good time At our wedding, we had a caterer who did pastas. I think there was salad, and then it was maybe linguine with your choice of an alfredo chicken, a prima vera, and a red sauce. Caterer did cakes for us too. He was good. Brisket seems like it wouldn't be a wedding food to me, but what do I know. |

Date: September 26th, 2022 3:25 PM Author: outnumbered swashbuckling juggernaut university I got married in a parish hall and it was great. We paid for it ourselves too, so it was just beer/wine that I personally bought the morning of the ceremony at the liquor store and delivered to the caterer at the venue in my wedding jacket. We didn’t have a band. Just a good DJ who was real attentive and perfect. I had a blast and will remember it forever. I think we spent about $15k on everything. 120 guests. |

Date: September 26th, 2022 6:54 PM Author: ocher theatre goyim sounds 180 to me. agree that it's crazy to see the wedding industry become so commercialized, with people spending absurd amounts. and yeah of course much less religious influence too (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5199910&forum_id=2#45234636) |

Date: September 26th, 2022 3:19 PM Author: 180 canary address Contrarian hot take here but I think that's a good thing.
Let these faux Christians finally admit to themselves and everyone around them that they don't actually follow the faith.
Do you go to church on Sunday? Of course not. You just skinsuited it to make yourself feel good on your "special day" and then dumped the institution and faith when it didn't fit with your lifestyle.
I'm happy to know that when I walk into a church, regardless if it's Catholic or some denomination, every 20 - 40 year old is almost certainly a genuine believer |

Date: September 26th, 2022 3:21 PM Author: outnumbered swashbuckling juggernaut university In my view, baptism, confirmation, marriage, funeral are significant life events and an occasion for religion and formalism. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5199910&forum_id=2#45233302) |

(based Catholic or high church protestant)
can't stand these evangelical churches where they never take communion and there are no confirmation studies/classes, no wonder they're retarded and believe dumb shit, they never actually study it formally
As a Lutheran, I had night school every week for two years before I could be confirmed. |

|
Date: September 26th, 2022 3:30 PM Author: 180 canary address Confirmation and weddings being handed out to people who don't actually make any meaningful attempt to follow the faith is a joke, a sham, and scandalizes the faithful. It waters down the faith and destroys souls (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5199910&forum_id=2#45233355) |

Date: September 26th, 2022 3:28 PM Author: 180 canary address I guess it's a prudential call so there is no objectively right answer. I'd just say that your view has been the dominant one for the past 60 years.
"Let's just be more permissive about giving the sacraments and accepting fair weather fake Christians, maybe someday they will come to the faith"
Nobody knows the future but so far that strategy has not worked. Why would a fake Christian actually do the hard work of following the faith if they can still pop in the church for special events and get catered to?
The only exception to my comments it's baptism of course. |

Date: September 26th, 2022 3:52 PM Author: bull headed mahogany toaster might be cr if OP was talking about BASED churches denying matrimony to libtards due to their insufficient evangelical zeal, but he's actually talking about people to whom it wouldn't even occur to go to a church to get married, or for any other reason.
