The Smallest Church With The Shortest Aisle

Unlike most women, I don't relish the notion of walking down the aisle. I hate the idea of everyone staring at me. I just feel I'll trip just thinking of these things. As you know by now, I'm not a princessy-type bride. I want the walk to be as short as possible, that is why I'm trying to find a church or chapel with a short aisle. I'm quite sure my dress or gown won't have a train either, so why bother with a long train? I know, I know... I'm non-conformist like that. A bit kups too, if you ask me.

Of course, short aisle would mean small church.  Actually, I've had my eye set on one church in particular ever since I heard that they actually allowed weddings there. It's St. Pancratius Church inside Paco Park, which used to be a cemetery (or is it a cemetery still?).  Here's a pic of the church I found on Flickr (credit goes to the photographers, of course):


Gilbert & Sharon Wedding: Here Comes the Bride!

The church is small and it's one of the things I love about it. It has a 100-person capacity. Any more, and it will be trouble. I'd love a small, intimate wedding where the invitees are the essential ones, people whom you really want to be there and celebrate the day with you.

San Pancracio

It's quite an old church -- it has been around since the Spaniards were here, but it has been renovated in order to accommodate some modern conveniences such as air conditioning.  I love the simplicity of its interiors as well.

My heart is really set on this church.
