and he did not care at all that we lived together. When he asked what the best part of our relationship was right now, I said that due to the fact we've been together for so long and have been through so much, we really know that we can stay together no matter what. FI told him we are just formalizing what is already a reality for us by getting married. He seemed to really like our answers. The best part is that he said we don't have to do pre-Cana because we are traveling from NYC to CT to meet with him three more times between now and January, and adding another commitment would be too much. He also told me since the church will be decorated for Easter at that point (we're getting married the weekend before Palm Sunday) I should save money and skip ordering flowers for the Church - sounds good to me! Overall, it was a very successful meeting. Beebee confession: part of the reason I wanted to get married in this particular church is that my mother's mother was a member of the parish her entire life (she is now in a nursing home with severe dementia), and both my parents and my Mom's parents were married there.
