Going to the Chapel

Source

Ok, it's actually a church, but we officially booked it yesterday! We met with our priest for what turned out to be a fairly casual meeting. He asked us a few questions about ourselves and then asked the church required questions, such as if either of us had been married before. Since I'm in the RCIA class, he knew that I was not baptized, but that I would be at Easter. After we satisfactorly aswered his questions, we were offically put on the calendar!

We're actually the first wedding they've booked for 2010. It seems early, but now that I know we have the date for sure, I feel comfortable looking for other vendors. My next goal is to get the reception site I've got my eye on. Of course, I want to check it out first and look over their catering options.

As for the church, we don't need to do anything for about a year. We'll start the marriage classes about 6 months before the wedding. I'm sure I'll be calling the parish office with questions before that though.

It's so nice to finally be able to tell people an exact date now when they ask! I felt so proud checking off something on the wedding checklist.

How soon did you book your ceremony venue? Did you get the date you wanted?
