Well, we were supposed to meet with the Deacon to begin the marriage prep process. If you read my other post, we were very much looking forward to this meeting because we had been trying to schedule it since December.
FI and I went about 30 minutes out of our way to meet with this guy, since he wasn't going to be at the church. We finally get there, and a lady (who was very nice) said that the Deacon had left several hours earlier and had not been back.
She got him on the phone, and he asked to speak to FI. FI had it explained to him that the Deacon literally told him that he "forgot to write down the time of the meeting, and therefore left the premises and would not be returning that day."
When FI asked if we could reschedule, the Deacon said "well, I'm not sure.... I'll give you a call at some point."
You have got to be kidding me. I'm sorry, but I've been patient through two months of no returned emails or phone calls, rescheduled appointments, etc. We FINALLY get to the point where we are standing in his office at this other random location, and he simply forgot to write it down?!
We left, and then I called the parish office to ask if we could please work with a different Deacon. They explained that no, that's not a possibility because the Deacons take turns doing marriage prep, and it was his turn. Then this guy hung up the phone.
FI and I are doing marriage prep with a different parish.
