Originally posted by d000hg View PostOf course most people having church weddings are hypocrites who have never met the vicar before and just want a pretty building to get married in. No wonder the vicar expects a donation from you. By contrast, you should see how excited a vicar is when 2 people who are genuinely christians ask him to marry them - he'll bend over backwards to help them out.
Especially our uncle who was in his 60s and a bit strict.
He was fine about it.
We had four (non religious) readings. We wanted one of her friends, one of my friends, one of her family and one of my family each to do one.
So we asked the uncle if he would do one, but not as a vicar, as a relative. He was absolutely over the moon. He said he had never in his life been asked to speak as himself before. We were as delighted as him. It was funny on the day: he was nervous!Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
