Civil Wedding or Church Wedding?

I prefer the wedding to take place in achurch with family and friends its means more I feel ... weddings should be a special moment in a couples lives and I don't feel like a civil ceremomy is very special or romantic...

Honestly I think it depends on where you are from, your religious beliefs, and personal preference. I wanted to get married at the courthouse and just have a big reception afterwards. But my parents wouldn't go for that at all. I am my mother's oldest child, and first to marry. My husband also wouldn't go for it. He has been married before, but said that I deserved a beautiful wedding. In the end, I am glad that we had a church wedding...

hi jackie_mmm!welcome to my lot! In our country civil wedding is more stronger in legal terms and I was married first in a quite civil wedding, and after a certain period of time of preparation and planning we finally get wed on church. For me no matter where the couple choose to be wed is less of importance, more important is they are getting married because they don't want to spend another minute of thier life without each other. happy posting.

i havnt been married...but i think i would perfer a big traditional church wedding, but i know they are expensive...so i may have to have a civil wedding

well ive been planning my wedding since i was 16 and it always involved all the works, so im not going to change my plans now. id like a Church wedding, something about making your vows in front of God makes it so romantic and all the tension and the rush and all the things that need to be done, i just love it. So its got to be a Church for me

personally i wouldn't mind one or the other...i am not an atheist, but neither a fervent believer so i guess i'd make that depend on my future wife's will. If she prefered church then church, if she is up to civil, so be it. Anyway i must admit that the religious ceremony is way more beautiful, and kind of fits better for such a special day.

Well both of them are recognized for legal puroses. But practicality's sake Civil wedding is more preferrable when it comes to this, when getting married but dont really have a big budget for the wedding then this more of a choice cos its just like for family's affair. When you say church wedding, it sound like really a big one. More budget needed, flower arrangements, more guests, a reception to cater almost everyone who attended the ceremony. But luckily with me, i dont have to choose cos i have them both. I've been married twice (of course same man)civil and church i enjoyed them both but church is more of my favorite.

I prefer the cicil wedding,i like freedom!And don't like the ambience in church!

Church Wedding for SURE, always

I prefer a church wedding. I don't want anything elaborate when I get married, but I like knowing that as I'm entering the holy state of matrimony (yes, it's still a sacred thing to me) I'm doing so in a holy place. Just my own opinion.

I prefer church wedding which we did 11 months ago, not that I'm agains civil wedding cause I know it's legal and basically as binding as the church but I would still prefer a church rites. One of our Pastor told us that wedding is in 3 aspects,1- is the legal side, 2- spiritual 3- physical.

I would love to have a garden or by the beach wedding reeption. I dream of that since I got hold of a wedding magazine.(",) I think it would be really romantic to be enjoined by God with all His creations.(",) Whih one would you prefer?

well my people do not wed at church because we are frim a different religion but i really do not care i always say every person should act as he believes and find himself comfortable with:) don't you agree?

i guess, for now we're planning to take civil wedding and then after enough preparation we'll also do the church wedding...

I think that in a marriage love is more important than rites, so if two persons really love each others, it doesn't matter if they will go to church or not. And yet I think that even if rites are not so important, it's beautiful to celebrate a wedding with rites. I don't go to church and so I'd never marry in church, infact I married a divorced person, and so, as the church forbids the divorced people to marry in church, we had a civil wedding. I don't believe in the religion of my country, so, to me I had no reasons to marry in church. It's a question of faith.
