So FI and I met with the priest last night, I was actually pretty nervous about it. The priest is new to the parish (like 2 weeks new) and although he and his family are parishoners there they have not met him other than a meet and greet and we've been out of town the last two weekends and missed the meet and greet and his first mass.
He was very nice and laid back and he didn't even blink an eye at us having the same address when we gave him our information.... whew, I was worried. Upon discussing my past we have discovered that my ex was baptized Catholic and was not married in the church nor did he receive permission to be married outside of the church and therefore the marriage is invalid in the eyes of the church. So, once he can confirm this I will be free to marry FI in the Catholic church and we can set a date! He said that it should only take a couple weeks to a month to get a date set.
