What denomination should I choose?

Just stay away from the kooks. If you love ceremony, Catholics & COE, ok, but Protestant churches offer more direct relationship w/ God. No priests to intercede for you, it's one-on-one. I am atheist, so dispionate. If god wants something, I would hope that one of those wants is *not* for you to pick the 'right' religion, that's why people do m murder believing they are pleasing god. Sheesh.
