I know everyone posts about their EE weekend, but I wanted to share anyways!
FI and I just had our EE weekend, and it was so wonderful! The married couples who shared were so warm and helpful, and the question and answer sessions were very thought-provoking and took our conversations to the next level. We had already shared our thoughts about the "big topics"- our faith, family expectations, finances, etc, but the worksheets we completed separately and then shared brought up some different questions that were fun to share, but also made as think more deeply. As the last session, they had us write a love letter to our fiance and read it aloud to them, and it was such a sweet moment. FI and I went outside to read ours, as it was finally a spring day here in Boston, and there was a woman playing her guitar off to the side, and it was just wonderful! There was also a ceremony where the deacon gave us an engagement blessing, and had as read an engagement prayer to each other, sort of live pre-vows, and FI almost had me in tears!
We're planning on taking an NFP course in the fall when we have more time, have any of you taken one yet?
The only downside at the end of this great experience was that FI had to leave for a week-long work trip today, and I'm missing him terribly after our heartfelt weekend!
