So I feel a little pressured here.. My in laws really want my fiancé and I to get married at their Catholic church.
I've never really been one for religion. I believe but it has never been something I was really apart of. I feel different... when I'm in a church, like I'm not supposed to be there.
And catholicism seems so intense. I'm just not comfortable.

Don't make it how someone else wants it. I learned the hard way and I never enjoyed the day. It seemed about my MIL (ex) rather than me and my husband (ex). When my now husband and I got married, we decided to do it our way and I enjoyed it so much more.

Exactly. do what you want to do, do what makes you comfortable

If you don't feel right in doing it. DONT! I'm not catholic but I think you have to become one in order to get married in on of their churches. Do it how you feel like doing it. Explain to your fiancé that you don't feel comfortable. And try another church if that's what you're going for. Maybe a non-denomination church?

if you don't do what you want you will regret it and they should understand since it is your wedding, I was blessed with a wonderful mil who had never pushed anything on me!

@javiersmom, @t142 @twinmommy2016 thank you ladies, I've already told my fiancé I don't think I want this but wouldn't be opposed to learning about it. I honestly just feel like my soul and body will spontaneously combust in a big ball of fire. The only church I have ever felt comfortable is was a church my parents occasionally went to is a Baptist Church. that was when I was a kid but I feel weird going there too. I don't think you have to convert to catholicism, but you have to do counseling and stuff. My dream wedding is on the beach and that's where my fiancé and I planned. My fiancé doesn't even go to church or practice his religion, i feel like it was pushed on him. We don't even really speak about religion. A church wedding is beautiful and can make things so easy but I just always dreamt of marrying my dream man on the beach. I have my dream man, I just need the beach.

@ellis1021, thank you. Luckily my future in laws are necessarily PUSHING it, well, my future mother in law isn't but my future father in law is. I don't think he's try to push it but he's very suggestive.

My husband is Catholic and I'm studying with the Jehovah's witnesses and his fam was so furious because I don't wanna follow their believes but it's my relationship with God not theirs so I put my needs first. We just ended up doing it by the justice of the peace and having the dance after

@boogersbugsanddirt, its a lot of pressure I know that, not wanting to disappoint your future in laws and wanting to make sure they absolutely love you, but you also need to stand your ground or you will never be able to lol I hope the best for you and your future husband!

Catholic Church isn't to strict but in order to marry you must go through all the steps to convert and have the bishop approve the marriage
