    Hi everyone, I dont know what to do about my wedding venue. My H2B and i only have a small budget as we are self funding and have 7 kids between us so not alot of spare money. We have both been married before but where as he had the 'big wedding' i had a registry office with only a couple of guests that my ex husband knew, no one from my family or my friends and it was not a pleasant experience. We are having a 'proper wedding' this time together but I wanted a church wedding and he doesnt.

    He would rather get married in the place where everything is under one roof, which i fully understand. i want my local church :-( i am not religious but I have a great friendship with my local vicar and my eldest daughter is religious. It is a very small village and i am well known in the village for work i do and the people i help.

    Has any one else had this sort of problem and what did you do? I am not against the idea of a ncie hotel and all inclusive venue but cant stop thinking about walking into a church with all my friends and family waiting for me.

    Have you spoken to your vicar about this? Some churches wont marry you there if you have been married before. Sorry to put a downer on things, but it's something you should find out before you make any decisions xxx

    The greatest thing you'll ever learn
    is just to love and be loved in return

    how about having a blessing at church aswell as your main wedding somewhere else could even be on a different day so you get to wear your dress again, also you could invite as many people as you like to the blessing as it wont cost anymore and then maybes you could al go for a drink and maybes a snack after rather than the whole shabong lol x

    a c of e church will marry you if the vicar is ok with it, at the end of the day hun as long as you get to walk down any kind of aisle in order to become his wife it will be special.
    I have been married before and like you it wasnt a big deal etc and this time i want the works but i am hoping to have it all in one place so i can enjoy it more.
    Have you thought of maybe a private blessing later on in time in your church?

    Have you looked into finding a venue with a chapel on site? Some venues have this and even allow your own vicar to do the ceremony if he/she agrees to it. But I do agree with the other ladies, you have to check that you will be able to re-marry in a church. My uncle did after being divorced but he had to go through a lot of stuff to do it and his ex-wife had to ok it too xxx
