I was being snitty. Obviously the rule about having to get married in a church can't come from any scrptural precedent because there were no churches at any time during which the Bible books were being written. Certainly no Catholic churches.
The only wedding I can recall offhand in the Christian Greek scriptures is the one Jesus attended where he turned water into wine, but everyone there would have been observing Jewish customs. Jesus uses a wedding and the events afterwards in one of his illustrations, but again, it would have been a Jewish wedding.
I'd have to look into it further, but I don't recall any specifically Christian guidelines for wedding ceremonies in the Bible record. Other than that they should be free of the things forbidden elsewhere, such as drunken bouts, revelries, etc.
Anyway...
I always thought an outdoor wedding would be neat, but in October, that's pretty unlikely.

It might be OK here in Michigan... but it'd be kind of risky. It could either be freezing or raining. Or it could be perfectly loverly. We're planning the pictures before the ceremony, though, and we'll be taking them outdoors on the shore of a local river with the fall colors in the background. Assuming good weather of course.

Well, if the weather sucks, there's always Photoshop...and lots of therapy.

In which case you can make a video, submit it to America's Funniest Wedding-Night Videos, and recoup the cost of the wedding. . . Er, wait, did you mean the lips on your face?

Er...a google image search turned up all sorts of crap. Is that the guy from Men in Tights?

Only two "ladies" from Star Wars are even remotely "famous", and that's by the weakest definition of the word ever, but neither of them has been in any movie with Cary Elwes (and this I say with supreme confidence after wasting thirty perfectly good minutes of my life scouring IMDB). I hereby declare UM to be a lying bitch.
