Well, it seems we finally have a church! I am still a bit cautious, though, considering all the trouble we've had finding one. I don't want to jinx anything. It's not in Newport, but rather in Bristol, which is about 15 miles outside Newport. It's a pretty straight shot, though, so no complicated directions for guests.

We haven't paid the deposit yet, but we're well on our way to booking St. Mary's. This is the first positive step we've had in our search for a church, so maybe this is it!
It's St. Mary's Church (http://www.stmarybristolri.org/home.html), and it is really beautiful! The stain glass windows were actually created by the same guy who in the early 1900's cared for the Vatican's windows. Additionally, it's mauve pink inside with spectacularly high ceilings and a gorgeous marble altar.
