Church
For Catholics, church is the most important venue for weddings. But, on the one hand, traditional rules set by the church prior to the marriage ceremony can be very tedious and sometimes costly. Also, Catholic churches require a couple who wants to get married to go through premarital counselling with a priest. On the other hand, church wedding serves a lot of benefits religious blessing from a priest, a bigger venue, conducive place for a solemn ritual for marriage, free parking space for visitors, etcetera. Most importantly, church is the most sacred place if not the best to start a new married life.
