i am a catholic from baby - baptist and confirmed during form 4. i married my husband, a buddist (from a family who believe in chinese tradition alot) - we did not undergo the catholic ceremony by choice:

1. We think we will incur alot of money if we do so - church deco, flower gal dress...etc
2. We want a simple wedding as possible
3. If we want a church wedding, it would mean that we have to go through classes - which would be good for some; but we don't think it was necessary for us
4. During catholic wedding ceremony, we sort of "promised" that we will have our kids as catholic as well - this will definitely be a "controversial" if we oblige - as in laws will definitely object to this

Anyway, my mum was catholic and my dad was buddhist, married in catholic church - therefore, i am a catholic...after 20 years, my dad decided to convert into catholic
