Last night we had our first meeting with the pastor we want to marry us. He's from the church I attended while married and knows me already. Last night was a sort of "how did you get to this point" session with both of us and it really makes you think. I thought it was very interesting. My FI came out of it thinking he needs some therapy to deal with his past so he doesn't have "wear me out" with it.
We meet again next month to talk about what kind of ceremony we want. We have to decide between doing it in the sanctuary or in the church parlor, kids or no kids. We want just a private ceremony and we thought unless all 5 of our kids can be there, we want it to be just the two of us. Most of the kids are in college or off on their own and can't always count on them being able to be somewhere when we want them. We would take the kids out for a nice family dinner after the ceremony.
And of course the party three weeks later.
Decisions - decisions...
