Why would op answer your oh so very personal questions? Speaks volumes! What's more personal about my question? You shared your mil and dh information - seems like turnabout is fair play?

I always get a chuckle whenever I hear catering hall and marriage!

YOU may have a delightful wedding in a catering hall, I personally would never choose that route, and it certainly has nothing to do with a marriage.

And we all understand you too! Raising your kids Catholic, Jewish inlaws, atheist dh! The drama!

You gave all your answers, too...sounds like you got almost everything you wanted...dh, inlaws, your own family, not so much.

Just inferring by what you put out there...in this very thread.

What goes around...

You're making no sense to me.

You haven't shown how your personal questions are in any way relevant.


And the op did answer all of my questions, so again I don't know what you're commenting on.


I've always called it a catering hall or a reception hall to be polite, trust me. ;-)

Bingo - OP family understands her choices too!

<"What goes around" was that my in-laws attended my wedding instead of sitting at home, they love me and my children, we have an honest relationship where ~ if they wanted to observe my wedding and asked me ~ they could. And did!>

Do you realize that speaks more about them than you? They have compromised their religious beliefs to accommodate yours? Hey - I've got no problem with that, but most religious Jewish families I know would not be amenable to raising the children in the Catholic Church. Heck, ceremony aside, raising children would be huge. Yeah - you've compromised ...by usurping the religious choice for your children from your atheist dh. Good one. I'm sure the in-laws love that.

You make no sense by trying to vilify her choices and suggest that creates a rift in her family. They love her, the children, and they have an honest relationship!

Understand what - I am a person of faith, just not your faith.

Relevance is necessary? Just asking...need fodder for the db.

Obviously not to your satisfaction, because your still asking for further responses?

Really, do tell? I'm sure I've been to comparable weddings and they still sucked. I could brag and will ... I've been to weddings that have been hideously expensive in Manhattan, the Cape, SF, London, Newport Mansions, and they are not much different than a LI catering hall, though they may have a better view and really large shrimp appetizers (love them). Your persona is safe and unbolsered.

It would be a strain to show where I brought up any part of that movie and said it was similar to real life.

I have also been to some where the food was perfectly good, but with the random people and the loud music it is bound to be a bore most of the time. So you try to make polite conversation with the people at your table whenever there is not loud music playing, and once the music starts you sit there waiting until it is decent to leave.
