Getting baptised on Saturday

My parents didn't raise me in a religious environment-I never went to church and never considered myself any particular denomination.
I would sometimes go with a childhood friend to her Lutheran church and I always felt comfortable there.  When FI and I got engaged, I couldn't marry in a Catholic church (previous marriage) so I asked him if we could marry in a Lutheran church.
Since the Pastor there agreed to marry us, I started learning more about the Lutheran faith and have decided to become a member there, and since I was never baptised, I'm getting baptised this Sunday.
I don't feel comfortable telling my family-we just don't talk about religion.  I told my BFF (the one who I used to go to church with) but just wanted to share my news and thought this would be a perfect place :)
I dont know why I'm so nervous about it-I guess just because I spent 30 years of my life not really practicing any religion or having anyone to discuss it with.

    Congratulations!  You are right this is the perfect place to share! 

    I understand you being nervous, just last week I took Communion at the church I have been attending for the last Year and 1/2 or so, and it was actually really nervous then because I was raised catholic. 

    Making a statement such as this is a big step.
