My fiancee and I set our wedding date for August and now my church, (I'm Missouri Synod Lutheran) won't marry us because we live together. My pastor said the only way he could marry us is if we either separate until the wedding date, or marry immediatly and then celebrate our wedding in August with a vow renewal. My fiancee and I both hate those ideas and I'm looking for another church that won't judge us so harshly. Our wedding is in the state that I'm originally from, and I can't become a member of any church there because I live in another state, will that be a problem as well? I know a lot of churches won't marry you unless you're a member of that church. Any advice you guys could give me would be very much appriciated.
