If answer is yes

- Why did you marry in church?
If answer no
- Where did you marry and why?
Yes, we married in church but we were/are not religious. I've always been a spiritual person and am still looking for a church that I can feel at home in. So far, no luck, so I do my inspirational reading and praying every day, knowing that I don't need "sticks and bricks" to encase my spirituality and love for God. I do yearn for a spiritual community, though. We married in a church mainly to keep our families happy and I had been married by a Justice of the Peace for my first marriage and it was an unpleasant experience and I didn't want to do that again. Plus I'm big on ceremony and ritual and I liked the idea of having family and friends there to witness and participate. For the second marriage, my 7 year old son (at that time) was the ring bearer and I wanted to make him a part of the experience. I also thought that by getting married in a church, perhaps the marriage would "stick". It did for 24 years. Then it came unglued. LOL
