My fiance is wiccan, he doesn't believe in having a wedding in a church but I really don't know how else to have our wedding... He wants a wiccan wedding and I am not sure.... Its not an issue that I need to find someone else to marry....

If he cares and you dont, then there is no conflict...dont make one. If its something important to him, show him how much you love him by taking his feelings and beliefs into consideration & agreeing to do whatever it takes to make the ceremony as special, meaningful, and comfortable to him as it is for you. Think to yourself: is this really a big deal? If youre not religious, then probably not...its just a little weird to get married somewhere besides a church, right? well there are plenty of beautiful outdoor places to tie the knot as well...and with decorations you can dress up any space. Look through websites or books about outdoor weddings to get some ideas, and to get reassurance that plenty of people dont get married in a church!
Good Luck & Congrats!

you could always have an outside wedding.. depending on what time of year you get married :) maybe in a park or by the beach would be nice. they even make really warm wedding dresses you can wear if your getting married outside in the winter. check out the image below.
now as far as the wiccan wedding goes you should talk to him and see if there is a way you can compromise. maybe have a wiccan ceremony but celebrate by your beliefs, or vise versa. but remember this is your wedding too, so you will have to talk with him and make decisions together. so you are BOTH happy. If he makes a suggestion you dont like, just tell him its not something you want and try to think of several other options and try to compromise so you can both have what you want. you could also maybe go to the justice of peace to get married. it wouldnt be a fancy wedding, but they marry all types of religions so you dont have to worry about the minister offending you or your husband because of your religion.

I would do some research on what is involved in a wiccan wedding and see what all it entails and decide if you would be happy doing your wedding that way. Or you could have a ceremony that combines wiccan and traditional wedding elements. You can have a wedding just about anywhere like a park, wedding chapel, a friends house.
Good Luck and Congrats!!!

You can have a wedding in a hotel, country club, home, garden, farm, winery, ship (& no captains can't marry you), even the venue where you are planning your reception, which is becoming quite popular.
There are many officiants that will perform a Wiccan or Pagan ceremony, I just don't. You & your fiance need to talk with one.
Type into your search engine your city state & wedding officiant. You should have a few to choose from.

My fiance and I are not religious and are choosing not to have our wedding in a church. Instead, we are going to have a wedding on the beach.
You can choose to have an outdoor at a beach, park, garden, etc. If you want an indoor wedding, there are some reception/social halls that are available for weddings.
There are plenty of non-denominational options to get married.

I live next door to a family that is wiccan, and I truly hope you have done your research on the religion. As far as the wedding, what about something outdoors? You can also incorportate the two religions by having two ministers. Just an idea!

My husband and I did not get married in a church. We got married in a field with a pond. We had a pig roast, bonfire, and two hundred floating candles for the pond. When we were introduced as husband and wife about a hundred balloons were let loose to fly up in the air. We had generators for the DJ and had karaoke. It was a great time and if I could do it over again I would not change a thing. It was beautiful.

How about having your wedding in a beautiful garden? I am sure that he could not object to that. But in case he does, try and find some middle ground like a park or a beach perhaps.Just work together to make your day as special as it can be.

Well having different religions is always difficutl... but why don't you all get married somewhere nice like a chapel or somewhere outside like a garden and have a combined ceremony, with your customs and his... that way you guys are compromising.... now if he doesn't want to do that, then yes you may want to think twice before spending the rest of your life with someone who won't compromise. Good Luck
