Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted June 12, 2007 depends on how many friends you have that wouldn't mind doing things for free and if the church/chapel you plan to have the ceremony in charges a rental fee. so basically, no, i have no idea. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chickenman 9 Posted June 12, 2007 Depends on the religion too, I think. I hear the Church of Satan is actually pretty cheap when it comes to wedding ceremonies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheUnknown 39 Posted June 12, 2007 Better than flowers and food and tuxedos and dresses and so on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted June 12, 2007 this is why you should all be Mormon: temple wedding = free Institute teacher to DJ = free friend in the ward to do the wedding cake = free reception at ward building/stake center = free Relief Society to do the food = free so all you'd be left to pay for would be rings, dress/tux, hotel, and honeymoon :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted June 12, 2007 :p Depends. Are you allowed to be a Mormon for a day? that's the only catch. you have to be a member in good standing for a year. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ender 8 Posted June 12, 2007 Don't know about mainstream LDS, but if you're a fundamentalist, it's like this: If you're a woman: You're married in your teens and you're constantly pregnant. Also, you don't talk. Ever. If you're a man: You have three or more wives and regularly receive visions from angels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted June 12, 2007 that's extremist to the extreme extreme. in fact, if any General Authorities hear about it, your tail's excommunicated faster than you can say "omg, i'm goin to Hell!" as for "good standing," keeping Word of Wisdom (no coffee, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, ect), chastity (no sex outside of marriage), daily prayer/scripture study, supporting church leaders, and anything else considered being a "good Mormon." ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
