What do I expect? Do they say certain things since my FH isn't catholic? Idk why but I'm nervous!
This is your first time meeting with a priest? You'll probably have to fill out a 'permission slip' to get married since your FH isn't catholic. That's what we had to do. But other than that, the priest will just ask the standard questions......how did you meet; have you ever been married before; are you both doing this wilingly; etc.

hahahaa a permission slip?? Oh boy...
Our first meeting was...interesting...the priest is kinda off and it felt more like an interrogation. We weren't too happy but we really didn't have a choice.
Don't be nervous. I was nervous too b/c I'm not Catholic and FH is, but the Deacon was really cool and laid back. I just needed to give them proof that I was baptized and my dad wrote a letter validating it and that's pretty much it. Good luck.
We had ours a few weeks ago. We are getting married in a Greek Orthodox church since that's what I am (FH is Catholic). We had to bring our baptismal certificates, the priest asked how long we've been together (3 yrs), how long we've known each other (11 years), do we live together (umm we said NO), and that we must raise the kids Greek Orthodox if we want to get married there (umm ok). Oh yea, I had to pay $300 to become a member of that particular church and FH had to give a $300 donation since he cannot become a member. Our koumbara had to pay $300 too.
