Also, in some states, neither the couple nor their legal witnesses (honor attendants) may be imbibing alcohol at either the rehersal or the wedding. And, always(!) Take the liscense to the office yourself to make sure it gets there! There were 20+ liscenses at the bottom of a drawer from years ago when I moved into one parish.<br /><br />I made bride ad groom sign a contract agreeing to abide by wedding policy. I had final say, and could cancel at any time. I had them meet with a banker, a lawyer as well as me. First question is always "why God?" One answer was " we get more presents". Dismissed them with justice of peace's contact info. Didn't care they were grandchildren of power brokers of church.....I'd never even known of their existance prior to the visit.Andrea Stoeckelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05168013270163398015noreply@blogger.com
