    Bit of a long 1.

    We are having our wedding in Lithuania during the summer but are having a few issues locally in regrads to a civil ceremony. Basically my fiance or her family are not from the area where we are having the wedding/celebrations in so the local registrar wont do the wedding and the registrar from her area wont come out to us because its out of her district. We think we might be able to work around these issues but if all else fails we were thinking of asking a lithuanian priest based in Ireland to come over and do the ceremony as he can register the wedding and isnt hinderd by boundries. Only thing is I am not that enamoured with the church any more. Is it been very disrespectful, cheeky or just a stupid idea to ask him to do the service but with as little religon as possible?

    no harm in asking, but it seems quite strange to me to ask a priest to do a non-religious ceremony??? I can understand asking for a blessing as opposed to a full marriage sacriment, but to ask a priest to be 'less religious' just seems odd

    what about maybe doing the 'legal' bit here in a registry office before you leave, and then getting someone to perform a 'ceremony' over there?
