Alternatives:For years more
and more weddings have been conducted outside of the "church" in 1999
51% of all weddings were conducted outside the traditional church. This change
reflects changes in society generally and has continued to increase.Many
couples now live together for some time before deciding to get married. One other
influence is simply the sheer beauty of the outdoors - this area is abundant in
great locations to get married, from Minyon Falls to the long empty beaches of
Lennox Head. Here are some topics for your consideration:
 There may be a special
attachment to a certain location or a fondness for a certain feel when you want
to remember this day. Differences
in religious beliefs between you and your partner, and the attitude of your respective
churches.
Cost is
also a factor.
Couples
often bear the cost of the wedding themselves so choosing a location where they
can have their service and reception is often a bonus.
Themed
weddings sometimes do not fit in with the church.
Your
wedding vows may need to be in accordance with the wishes of the church(es).
Your church may not recognise
second marriages
