You should've kept reading. I actually managed to set aside my cynicism for 2 minutes to offer a positive endorsement.
Besides, statistics say it's a 50/50 proposition. :p

The first time I ever heard of that was watching Roots back in the 70s. Sure beats the hell out of a wedding.
Plus, if you marry someone like my ex you can save on airfare for the honeymoon because she'll damn sure know how to fly that thing. :bat:

Ask your priest how many fucks he thinks God gives about where you get married and where the flowers come from.

Tough for you. Unfortunately just like any organization, even the Lutherans, Us Gov't. They all have their rules to play by and no you can't take your ball and go home if you want to play
They are not there to bend to everyone's whishes or whims. You have to go with their flow.
Go enjoy your wife, congrats.

My buddy and his wife solved this exact same dilemma by having the all-in-one as planned at a country club, and then having a very small service at a Catholic Church a couple weeks after with just a few of us in attendance as witnesses.

Buckeyes are best
Be angry at the sun for setting
If these things anger you.
or
Ya can't fight City Hall!
Seriously, you know what you're getting with the Catholic church, it's their church so they make the rules, so the only question is whether you really need a Catholic wedding or not. If so, it sounds like All-in-one is out. And depending on what the "Catholic" part of the wedding means to you both, the mass could be the main event while the reception's just a party.

Wow, this thread is a real head-scratcher for me....
The Catholic Church, its liturgies, and its cultural practices like weddings, funerals, jubilee liturgies pre-date any of us and they will be around long after we are all pushing up daisies. I've been Catholic since birth, argue all the time with other Catholics and non-Catholics about issues in the Church, and have no problem venting all kinds of frustration with the institutional Church. BUT... the church is not the hierarchy; the church is the committed people around the world who make it a strong community of believers. One believes or doesn't believe; it's really fairly simple. I believe and have a personal and spiritual comfort in knowing that I am not alone in my work community, my family, and my neighborhood. I am thankful I have those communities to help me live a more generous life... to truly make a difference in this needy world. GO BUCKS!

Like a few other people have been saying it depends on what area you are from but some areas are more flexible than others. If you know the pastor at the church, or even if you don't but you have a certain church you go to regularly, then go talk to the guy.
When myself and my wife got married we knew we were going to have a full wedding because our family would want that, but we have lots of people who were coming to the wedding that were not catholic. we picked our own songs and reading and picked the shortest ones that we liked. ( We got the wedding down to 45 minutes) There was a lists of rules that we were suppose to follow. Any of them we had a problem with we talked to the pastor about and on all of them we were able to do what we wanted to do.
Also if you do go to the church regularly of hve a church either the soon to be wifes parents or your parents went to, many times you can get the chuch fee waved.

That would really be an interesting choice of words if we were talking about a religion that has its own sovereign nation, an elite set of leaders with an appointed dictator, and millions of subjects feeding its coffers. Oh wait...
