I got married to a good catholic girl in a big church with a couple of hundred people as witnesses/sharers/guests. I would have been happy with a civil ceremony in a private home but ... you go with what's most important to the both of you and seeing as I really had no strong feelings about it I went with what was important to her. And I agreed that our children would be raised catholic because the priest made it part of his conditions - which was ok too because I had my innings at home in regards to keeping their minds open. So if your bf is adamant and you are more open then go with what he insists on. If he is merely making a point see if he is willing to let some of what is important to you and your family be included in what is to be a union of two disparate people bringing together differences to create something new together. The whole ceremony is a public statement and affirmation of what will probably exist anyway and to have it follow traditional trappings of affirmation does not taint or vitiate his ethical principals.
