My wife (fiance at the time
) and I decided to get married in the Catholic Church because it was the church she had gone to since she was a kid. At the time my family and I went to an Evangelical Free Church. We booked the church, and when the time came around to do the counseling we went. It was the worst church experience in my life.
We got to the priest's house and it took him a few minutes to open the door. We walked in the house, and I smelled something, but I couldn't figure it out right away. HE WAS SMOKING WEED!!!! I could not believe it. He told us to go sit in his living room on his couch and he would be right out. We walked into the living room, and there was garbage everywhere. 1/2 and full gallon empty ice cream containers everywhere and other random food containers. We looked at the couch and he had his clean and dirty laundry all over it!
Once we managed to move the laundry off of the couch, we sat down and waited for him... and waited... and waited. 10 - 15 minutes later he finally came out of his back room and sat down, but he didn't just sit down; he was in a recliner and reclined all the way back so he was basically laying down. He was so fvcking high I still couldn't believe what I was seeing. When we were introducing ourselfs to him, he starting snickering and laughing, like one would do when they were high.
We finally got past all of that and started talking about how the wedding was going to go, or at least that's what I thought we were going to talk about! He told my wife that he did not want her to switch from being a catholic, and he told me that he didn't want me to become catholic. Then he told us that he would not marry us, and said he could recomend a Justice of the Peace for us. I just sat with a 'deer in the headlights' look for a moment, and then he said that if we still decided to get married in the catholic church, and switched to another church after that, we would both go to hell!!! WTF!!!
Anyways, the next day we cancelled our 'reservation' and talked to pastor of my church and got married there. Of all the catholic events I have been to (quite a few since my fiance was a strict catholic) this was by far the worst, but still sort of expected.
