Which you prepared church wedding or civil wedding?

For me as a woman church wedding still the best of all,but as of todays life,practically I will choose a civil wedding.In my point of view having a church wedding and a civil wedding made no difference.For as long as we can be compatible and stays together its not a matter wether a church wedding or a civil. A luxury wedding nowadays is so famous among people.But for me being practical is just my choice.I prefer to get married in civil, first not much for expenses. I would rather what I'm going to spend for my future plan rather than having it spent just for a day or two. Its all about couples choice anyway if they can afford well then enjoy once their memorable moment together.No matter church or civil anyway its a feelings that counts and not how lavish the wedding is. Happy myLotting!!

I like only Hindu cultures wedding, as arrange marriage is also the nice and long with happiest life.

hello visavis, I will just get married once so i want it to be memorable i prefer beach or garden wedding i always wanted it but the problem is the groom If we have a budget then why not but if it is budgeted one i can make adjustments what important is we are going to take our vow and become one. happy mylotting

Marriage has always been regarded as the most sacred and purest bond shared between the bride and the groom - an institution that is so central to human experience. Getting married is even regarded by many as the ultimate badge - a way to show relatives, associates, and friends that one has a successful personal life. In view of these, I'd rather prefer to bless me and my groom inside the church and exchange my vows with him with the present of our Almighty God.

It depends upon you how are you going to spend for your wedding. In the Catholic Church there are options so that you can only spend less. Like on my wedding. No flower girls, bridesmaids, maid of honor. They are all just decorations and not part of the ceremony. The most important is you have witnesses. As a result, we did not spent beyond our budget. I prefer to get married in the Church: first it is both Civil and Church. Why it includes civil? It's because before you're going to get married in the church, the couple should get marriage license from the City Hall. It will be posted within ten days to be sure that each of you is really single, no impediments. The couple should also attend Seminar on Responsible Parenthood conducted by those in the government. If you have complied then that's the time you'll be given a marriage license to be submitted to the Church. Second: The priest also who will officiate the marriage ceremony should also get license from the government. He cannot officiate unless his license is not yet expired. As far as I know they are going to renew it every 3 years. Not all Catholic priests are allowed to officiate wedding unless they have license. In the Catholic teaching it is still considered live in if you are just civilly married. It is also found in the Bible. Therefore wedding in the Catholic Church is both civil and church. It will become invalid legally without those requirements I mentioned.

Well for me I prefer church wedding than civil wedding.. Even don't have a big budget for it , i'll go for church wedding someday. Church wedding is really important because you are making your vows in front of the Body of Christ, that is the church.. Even you have no big amount for a church wedding, you can still have it, and there is no need to be so expensive, what is matter is the pure intention of the couple.. As a tradition, church wedding is more important, in some it is a ritual to have a bless from God.. To have a better future someday.. This is showing a respect to God and asking His permission for the marriage to be blessed. Some people really saving their money to have a good and expensive wedding. But God does not measure on how much you spend money for it.. Some people choose to have a civil wedding because they think that church wedding is expensive that they can't afford to have it. Also they think that the ceremony is the same and no different at all. they think that there is no difference to have it in a civil wedding.. It is there belief about that, and as long as there intention is pure and they are sincere with each other.. God will just make a way to take them in the church to have there wedding.

I had a civil chapel wedding. Meaning it was in a wedding chapel, but there was no religion involved in the ceremony whatsoever. It was pretty nice.

we had two ceremonies, one after the other. in the UK, you can't have any religious content in a civil ceremony, and there is no legal provision for Pagans that want to marry in their own religion. so we had the religious ceremony first, which was a handfasting in a stone circle. this was the spiritual part of the day, making our vows before the Gods and the ancestors and asking their blessings on the marriage. following that we had the civil ceremony, which made it legal, and this we had in a disused slate mine, beside a subterranean lake, surrounded by hundreds of candles. in the UK, you can't have a legal ceremony outside, there has to be three walls and a roof (except for Scotland, where they have the much better idea that the registrar is licensed, rather than the location, and can marry someone anywhere) but there are all kinds of venues licensed for civil ceremonies, from castles to hotels, to museums, and even places like our beautiful, magical, candle-lit cave. I wouldn't have ever considered a church wedding, as neither of us are Christian.

In my opinion. Church or civil wedding is the same. They are both valid in terms of law. But I prepare to get married with the church, because this like being formal than in the civil wedding...

I think it is definitely better to have a Church wedding since it is nice to really promise in front of God and it is the dream of the couple(mostly the women) too. But having a civil wedding is fine too, since the other one's costly...what matters most is you love each other and you keep the vows.

Civil or traditional wedding is fine as long as people know that we are already married legally. About the ceremony it should not be grand or high cost just a simple wedding. That should be fine.

My husband and i had our civil wedding a month before our church wedding. In the civil wedding, my husband and i, two close friends of my husband who acted as witnesses , the judge and his secretary were the present ones. In the church wedding, all the family members of both party are present. But only the closest relativea and friends were invited. It was done in a week day and it was so simple. We worked around our budget only. We deemed it right that we still have money to start on for our house appliances, after the wedding. We are happy we did that. So far, of course i prefer the church wedding.

I prefer a church wedding even though it is expensive. I will be married only once and I want it to be memorable. One kind of wedding that will last to my memory even when I am old already.

My husband and I were married in civil.. it is ok to have a marriage in civil especially if you don't have a budget of a bigger ceremony.. for me, the best wedding is having your family and friends with you on your special day.

I prefer a church wedding for Gods blessing but due to financial reasons and practicality I'm getting married in civil by a judge but still I'm looking forward for a church wedding

hi, for me, of course i would choose church wedding than civil wedding,because i can more feel the importance and reality,excitement,and more when in church wedding even though its a expensive one than civil wedding.

woh!it sounds like the western wedding or your country's practice is complicated,in my country,i mean china,i think wedding have more etiquette and procedure,but you know without the widness of Pastor or mayor,governor,i guess he will be very busy attending theis citizen wedding ceromony,but what i mean it is not serious in our country,we and sent invitations and ask our friends ,colleagues and relatives to come ,have dinner and have fun.the newly wed will be vowed in front of both parents and exchange rings and kiss...of course this one is relatively modern and have influnced someway by the western culture we still have some traditionnal wedding ceremony...what's memorable for the bride is maybe the Bridal Team consisting of a long queue of cars...ceremony is just a form so try your best to give her a memorable wedding...

if i will be getting married soon i prefer to have a church wedding because i want to make such day a solemn wedding not so luxurious, what i want is just a simple wedding, facing the altar with my husband to be.

for me either...the important is you both love each other,that's matter...:)

None. True love cannot be written in paper, for it is the divine cosmic marriage that really counts. Any contract sealed in this world is nothing but a piece of paper, in other words they are not forever. I guess marriage contracts are significant only to ensure the legal concerns of both parties. Now I wonder, if i truly love someone, why would i be bother about legal laws set by the society and governmnet? Why would I allow my love be constrained by laws that are limited and most of the time faulty? Well im just sharing my thoughts so peace to all.
