Meet halfway with this and get married in a church and how about the reception at the beach or vice versa the wedding at the beach and the reception at a church.

I can understand where the both of you are coming from. Getting married is something that should be special to the both of you, and you want to enjoy that day, when you become husband and wife. But there are many advantages and disadvantages to both a "beach" wedding and a "church" wedding. When the time actually arrives... I think you should make a decision... but don't get too worked up about it. It'll be okay! Good Luck

Whether or not the clergy will go to a beach depends on the denomination. My wife and I got married in a park gazebo. The minister was Anglican.
But an Orthodox minister would NOT do it outside a church.
Depends.
Your family's wishes should be listened to, but ultimately the decision is between the two of you.

Have two ceremonies, one on the beach and one in a church. Compromise is key in a marriage, you might as well start now. There isn't any reason you can't do both. Have a small private wedding on the beach, and do your church wedding as you wish. Good luck

when did anyone get married just how their parents did...?
If that's what he wants then juist say yes. Get married in a church first then if he needs a beach thing you go for that on the honeymoon! Your wedding is yours (and his) but nothing to do with his family. if they get to control the wedding then they will maybe able to have too much input into your lives as a married couple. just do what you both want to do.............

Do both girl. This is common now days to have two ceremonies. Especially if your familys live far apart from one another. Maybe you can get lucky and find a church ON a beach!! How awesome would that be? Look into it ... I wouldn't be surprised if one existed!

Why are you even worrying about this now? You're not engaged and only talking about getting married "someday". Concentrate on having fun and being a couple rahter than stressing about something that could be a long way off!

If you would read your bible you would discover that church is a gathering of people and not a building. So you could do both. But if it is love do not let the little things get in your way.
