Please help! Should I help her?!?!?
I'm an event planner and a friend asked me to help her. She refused to let me do it for her for free so we agreed on her paying me 5% of her budget which I usually charge 15% for full service wedding. We had several meetings, I researched 4 countries and their laws on Catholic weddings as well as call the Catholic churches to see if it were possible to get married without being a member or resident of the country. I purchased several phone cards as well. Her family came to town for the holidays and decided she should use someone located in that country so she decided to go with that idea instead. So all of my hard work (hours of research) and money spent on phone cards went down the drain. She recently emailed me to say hi and to have me look over her budget and help finalize it and wants to discuss it with me. How do I respond? She's a friend, but not one that I talk to often and I feel like she dissed me after doing so much research, having 3 long meetings with her and her husband, and losing money. What should I do?

Can I play Ave Maria at my protestant wedding?
OK, I was raised catholic up until my parents divorce when I was 5. My mom had already forked out some pretty good dough for a legal divorce and she didn't see any reason to basically have to go through another one just for the church (annulment) and we began attending a methodist church. I'm planning on getting married in that same methodist church next summer. My grandmother's favorite song was Ave Maria. I never knew her (she passed away when I was 2) and would like to honor her by playing this song sometime during the wedding (probably as prelude music). My question is, is this OK in a protestant church, or is it considered sacrilegious? Anyone could answer, but if any of you are by any chance catholic, please specify that in your answer. (I've only heard this song at catholic weddings and funerals, that's why I'm directing it mostly to catholics.)
