Please HELP With Wedding Problem

My boyfriend and I are talking about marriage! I`m Catholic, he really does not have a religion but he does believe in God! We`re already living together and I would like to have a simple wedding ceremony rather than a big Catholic wedding. I would even be willing to run off and get married, but my family would disapprove. Any suggestions? Are there any Christian or non-denominational churches that would be willing to marry us if we weren`t a member of their congregation? Any advice will be helpful!

I think there are lots of churches that would let you marry in their building, as long as you paid the fee. Could be anywhere from $100 to $1500, depending on the church.

You could have a JP marry you, or a family member could get like a "one day pass" and be able to leaglly marry you. There are a lot of options out there if you know what you want and where to look.

I was raised LDS and my FH was raised Catholic, however neither of us are active in our religions. We found a beautiful country church that happens to be Lutheran and we asked if they would marry us. They will, but we do have to give a "donation" of $600. It`s worth is for us so we went ahead with it.
