The only requirement is that they marry under a chuppa ( a structure similar to a hut without sides) so they can marry in a restaurant, a garden, pretty much anywhere as long as they are under a chuppa. Google chuppa images and you will be shocked at how many types chuppas and how ornate they can be)<br><br>Don't feel bad, I was trying to explain to my Jewish mother-in-law why Catholics must marry in a church. She said she had never heard of that and couldn't really understand why that would be required as long as there was a priest. And that she has many protestant friends that have married outside a church.<br><br>I have been married to her son for 25 years and this was the first time she had heard about the Catholic requirement... I guess she wasn't paying attention when we were married?preppyplayerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07488992569447830584noreply@blogger.com
