I think you are concerned, considering our banter back and forth on the subject. MY POINT, again, is that many officiants are not religious figures. And having one of them, perform a marriage, in a CHURCH isnt a conflict. I proved my argument fairly clearly above. I do understand your point, and how you could make YOUR argument against having a religious officiant perform a religious ceremony. I never said i didnt understand that.
You dont give a ****? You cared enough to point out that I might like to look into current wedding practices since I am getting married soon, anyway. I'd like to take this moment to reflect, against my better judgement, that a previous thread about dogs was closed due to nothing (according to a mod) that I said. Perhaps its just me, but I believe I am always civil in my discussions. I'd actually love to sit face to face with you over a pint and have a laugh about our differences. But since you dont give a **** maybe it dont mattuh!
