Does the SLU choir (if they have one) have a cost associated with it?  :shrug:

Hmm, haven't thought about SLU. Good idea!

Or just get some college kids who want some bank at the end of the school year?  :lol:

I am such a college kid who wants money lol.
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
    It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
    It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
    And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
    And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent;
    There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
    Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs —
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
    World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

I had no idea that churches charged this kind of money for weddings.  When we got married, many years ago, our (Byzantine Catholic) parish didn't charge us anything.  I think we asked another priest and were told we should give about $100.00 to the priest, but we were explicitly told that we did not have to give him anything, because he was just doing his job as pastor.   As for the cantor and the altar servers (two adult men), I think we just invited all three of them, and the married altar server's wife, to the rehearsal dinner and the reception.  If we gave them any money, I don't remember it.

That is how it's supposed to be.

Depending on who's serving the wedding, they servers should get something.  Parents used to have to drive kids to weddings, and the kids lost their Saturdays off when they had to serve weddings.  And to get nothing in recompense, not even a $10 between 2 servers when so much is being spent on everything else.  No, we did not appreciate that at all.

Sure, I agree with that.  In our case, the servers were adult men, older than we were, and we knew them from the parish.  They would have been insulted if we offered them money, so we invited them to the wedding instead.
