My mother and the church

Oh and did I mention that my mom has been mentioning quite a few times that she wants us to get married in her church by her pastor.

Okay. Lets just say for the record that she has been bouncing around from church to church since we were kids. I've been to lots of different churches in my life. I haven't really been to chruch since High School except a handful of times when I was at a friends house..etc

So now she decided a few years ago that she is a Methodist. She's been a member of this congregation for at least awhile because I went with her once to church. I don't really remember anything about it.

So then when I was calling around looking for an officiant, she didnt say anything. Then when I told her I thought I found one that seemed pretty cheap, she asked about what church he was at etc. Thats when she started going off about how she didn't really approve of someone that was from a community church. She wanted a methodist minister.

Now I would be okay with it, if she offered to pay the extra (if hers cost more), if her pastor seemed okay and didn't make it a highly religious ceremony... We just want something simple and non-religious.

Then she was like - well whats wrong with a religious ceremony.

Well nothing, but thats not really what we want.
