Searching for the church

While we have found the place for the wedding reception, dinner and party, for some time already and are  already discussing details, we are still missing one tiny important detail: the church.
The challenging elements are the following:
-          We are looking for a church in the area of the castle i.e. not where we live and some priests are not so keen on marrying people not attending their church
-          We are looking for a priest ok to have a marriage between a catholic and a protestant, which on top of paperwork requires a priest with an open mind
-          All the protestant churches in Belgium look like an office building or a house.
Today we took the car and drove the area around the castle to have a look at the churches around.
We’ve discarded the churches that were too big, too modern, under work, with graffiti’s… and ended up with three options: Bornival, Arquennes and Familleureux.
This week we’ll contact the priests and find out whether they would be willing to marry us.
Keep your fingers crossed.
