Finally, we've got a date for the wedding! Whoo hoo! Well, it's still tentative until we find a reception hall, but I'm pretty sure this is the day. It's going to be Saturday, September 13th, 2003, so mark your calendars! Its going to take place at Dave's church (I'm tired of getting the run-around at my first choice church). We went to meet with the pastor yesterday, and I definitely have a better feeling with this priest than I did with the other priest. He was really great.

Sometimes I think that we're getting signs not to get married. Last week, we were supposed to meet with the priest at my first choice church. I KNOW when the appointment was going to be, because I had thought to myself 'Aww...I'm gonna miss 'Friends'!' So when we went there, the receptionist was like 'Uh, I he left 5 minutes ago to go to a dinner. I don't think he's going to be back for a while.' She tried paging him a couple times, but he never came. I've also heard a couple stories about how hard it was for couples to get in contact with priests at that church. So Dave scheduled a meeting with a priest as his parish.

It was set for Saturday, but Dave calls me on Friday, and says that the priest had thought that the meeting was at 11 on Friday. He wasn't available on Saturday. At that moment I was thinking, 'Why!!! Why me! Does God not want me to get married?' Seemed like we were NEVER going to get a date for the wedding! Later on that day, Dave called and said that the priest could fit us in that night, so I drove over to the church and met with him.

Immediately upon meeting him, I could tell that this priest was a good man, and that he really cared. I liked him as soon as we met, which was a good sign. He went over with us all the documentation we needed as well as the requirements we had to do to get married in the church. All in all, he made us feel really comfortable and at ease with planning the wedding there. I left full of energy and excitement. I wanted to shout through the streets, 'I HAVE A WEDDING DATE!!!' Ahh...that's a nice load off of my back!
