Church Ceremony

We're not really "church go-ers" but we do want to do everything the "right" way and get married in a church. Its so much more sacred to get married in a church then to have a ceremony at a hall with a officiant (in our opinion). So we started to look around for churchs :)

We started looking for churchs around Carle Place, so that way its closer to the hall but that seemed impossible. Those church 'coordinators' can be so rude!

We went to two different churches around Carle Place and they both were pretty rude because we wanted to get married there and we weren't parishiners to that parish. Forget about trying to be part of that parish, they'll ask "Why, are you going to come down to Carle Place every Sunday for Mass??" Pretty nasty. Plus they were EXPENSIVE!!! $900 - $1300 fee/donation for the wedding ceremony!!!

We then drove down to the Bronx and over to the church I went to my whole life - St. Raymonds - http://www.straymondparish.org/ - Beautiful church, gorgeous & HUGE :) Only charging us $600!! and this church is four times the size of the other churches that denied us! lol
Then, Kenny & I were broken-hearted, they don't do weddings on Sundays :( they have masses throughout the whole day :(
We went back to L.I. depressed, even thinking about changing our wedding date! lol

Following week we checked out St. Joseph's - http://www.stjosephsbabylon.org/ - and St. Patricks - http://www.stpatrickbayshore.org/. Ended up going with St. Patricks - they have a perfect time for us - 1:00pm - so we have enough time to take pictures before the cocktail hour.
We have to take Pre-cana with includes F.O.C.C.U.S.
