My fiance' and I have been having some disagreements on where to have our wedding. He wants to have an outside wedding and I want it in a church. I don't want an outside wedding because our wedding is in the middle of summer and because I promised my dad that I would get married in a church. What can we do to agree on something that we both like?

Maybe have the ceremony in a church, and the reception outside?
Personally, I love the idea of outdoor weddings, but I also understand that a dad is not to be messed with, especially concerning their daughter and what he thinks is best for her.

This is tough...you two are going to be spending the rest of your lives together (unless you divorce...which lets hope not) and you both must learn how to compromise and learn how to get along with each other. So you fiance wants it outside...and you promised your dad that you would have it inside...well first off...
Do YOU want the wedding inside a church? or r u just doing it cuz of your dad. if its just b/c of your dad and you want it outside...explain to your dad that you want it outside. but if you want it inside that church...
Well, can't you have the wedding inside the church and the reception outside? like what ppl are suggesting? if that doesnt work, then idk...sorry not helpful huh. all i can say is you guys just gotta figure it out...come up with a compromise and try and make it a win-win for both of ya! good luck!

It would help to know what faith you are, If you are Catholic,there are many massess which are said outside,covered by a tent. I imagine other faiths do also in the summer months, on church grounds If you are Catholic, you could remind that in the 50's there were alot of processionals around the main church, and mass was said outside. You could take one of these paths as your walk to the alter.(The outside Alter) If you are of another faith, I am sure something could be worked out, as long as the wedding is on your Church grounds--What you need to do is stop talking to your Dad, and talk to your Church--and a long happy life to you

Hi. I would choose the church. I just like church ceremonies.
Perhaps for the reception, and since it will be summer...can you find a venue that has indoor/outdoor areas? I know some country clubs and many other venues do. A space where guests can walk outside if they so choose. Or at least have a nice view!
Good luck!

Why not have an outside wedding at a church? It's a good compromise.

Hi, remember that a wedding is something that you will both cherish till the end of time. A CHURCH WEDDING HAS ITS SIGNIFICANCE, AND NOT JUST ABOUT LOCATION! You would need to explain to him that it is something special to you and you have always yearn to have it in Church! You should have your wedding in Church and then move to somewhere outside the Church closeby for your wedding reception..that will be the best of both worlds for you both. Congratulations and all the best! Pete

Why not have the wedding in the church and the reception outside? Make sure you have a back-up plan in case of inclement weather, though.

I dont know about everywhere in the world... but in Virginia, a lot of the churches have really beautiful gardens that are still technically on chruch property. That makes everyone happy!
You'll be outside... but still at a church! Something to look into. Now that you know they exsist, maybe you can find one in your area.

Lets face it- weddings are more for the woman than the men. If your family is paying for it- its your choice. Weddings are stressful enough don't add to it. If this is such an issue be prepared to have lots more to come if one of you can't bend. Find a Church with an awesome outdoor courtyard.......

Marriage is compromise honey!
