My brother, a Catholic, married an Episcopalian. They wanted a con-celebrated wedding. The Catholic priest required that they attend several sessions of marriage counseling with him, because who better to advise you on living in marital bliss with a woman than someone who has taken a view never to experience marital bliss with a woman. After weeks of this bullshit, the priest decided that my brother hadn't been attending church regularly enough, and refused to participate. So, yeah, Fuck 'em.
When my father died, the priest refused to give him last rites because he was living in sin with a protestant (my mother) in an unsanctioned marriage, that produced non catholic children who were likewise condemned to hell. Doesn't give you warm feelings about the church.
My wife turned to her missionary uncle and asked him to marry us. He refused because my previous wife, who was dead, and I had gotten a divorce. Therefore, he thought it was better for us not to get married.
Go forth and live without benefit of clergy; live in sin. I wasn't going to argue with his bent theology. I know a lost cause when I see it.
Petunia was stubborn enough to get a bishop to marry us instead. Within a year she started talking about renewing our vows. Sometimes I think women want to get married for an expensive party.
