list of the most suitable churches for weddings in Jinan
More and more young people like to hold solemn western-style weddings in churches, which has become a fashion, and people in Quancheng will certainly follow the trend. But many people don't have access to churches, so they don't know much about the details of holding church weddings and the situation of various churches. If you want to hold a western-style wedding in a church, you should first understand some church rules. Generally speaking, to hold a wedding in a church, the couple should contact the church in advance to find out. To hold a wedding in a church, you must first get a marriage certificate from the Civil Affairs Bureau and then go to the church to set a date with the responsible priest/priest. I have participated in many church weddings abroad, and I am also interested in sacred churches. Therefore, together with my friends, I visited several famous churches in Jinan one by one for the requirements of western-style weddings. Now, the information is sorted out and ranked as follows to provide convenience for newcomers with ideas:
