I had to email the minister to make sure a song FI's niece is going to sing in the ceremony was ok with the church...and it is...check!
In that whole process came an unexpected check as we were talking about rehearsal times. So the rehearsal is now scheduled for Nov 16 (Friday) at 7 PM which is great. So that was a very unexpected and quite an early check. In fact I hadn't even written that on my list of things to do at all.
