The rule in the CHI is that funerals take precedence. But usually some accomodation can be made as to time, particulalrly of the funeral since it has been scheduled within the last few days.
But the Relief Society president had the backing of church policy behind her.
I think you are not correct.
I just looked through the manual under Church Building, Use of Church Buildings, Funerals and Weddings. There is not one word about whether a funeral or a wedding take precedence. The CHI does NOT say funerals take precedence. Perhaps this is your ward or stake position but there is nothing in the manual to justify the Relief Society presidents position.
The way you handled things was PERFECT. That Relief Society president was way out of line to even make these requests in the first place. She should think back to when SHE was a bride and consider whether she would've been so accommodating.

Do you have access to the CHI that you can cite the relevant passage that indicates that?
No, I don't. The CHI stays in the bishop's or clerk's office. But any member can go sit in the clerk's office and read anything they want. You just can't take it home with your.
And Liz, you are right. The funeral is one thing. The dinner another. I just changed side.

I know where the CHI's go and don't. I'm just wondering why you're citing something you haven't specifically seen.
You might think you don't lie, but you do misstate. You assumed based on the words of a bishop and your own interpretation something and attributed it to official print in the CHI.
The road is beautiful, treacherous, and full of twists and turns.
Is there a community center that could be used for the dinner?
At any rate, congrats on the son's wedding! If I am not mistaken this is your last one to leave the nest? My best wishes to your son and his fiancee during these festivities.

We had quite a long discussion of this in that 3rd hour meeting. A situation had come up recently in the stake where a funeral and a wedding were in conflict, and there were lots of questions. The bishop had the CHI in his hand and read it to us. Your assumptions (we heard only the bishop's ideas about the subject) often get in the way of clear thinking. Which is why you come up with such prickloy and erroneous ideas.
