First meeting with the Church

We have our first meeting with the Church tonight. I'm cool, calm, and collected but at the same time nervous. I think i just over think things naturally. Every time we go to meet with a vendor I'm always nervous like are they going to be good and do I have all my questions to ask and am I missing anything and then after the meetings I realize it's not that bad.

Anyways, I think the reason I'm nervous is because FH is Catholic and I'm not. They said we can get married still but I wonder what it entails for me. Do I have to take classes, do I have to convert. I never made communion or anything I was only christened.

I'm sure it will be fine but is there any questions I should ask?

How was it your first time when you met with the Church?

Don't be nervous! FH and I went to meet with a Priest and FH is Jewish. No classes (except PreCana which you do as a couple) and you definitely don't have to convert! The priest just asks you both some questions (like a little interview but nothing major - like have you been married before, etc).

The only thing I was concerned with when I went was if the Priest was willing/able to perform an interfaith ceremony at my RH, so I'm not much of a help with questions!

Good luck! :)

I was super nervous meeting with the priest as well. We are both catholic but I just worried about the church being available the day I wanted to get married or if everything was going to need to be changed.

They give you a packet with all the info you need so there really isn't many questions you need to ask. GOOD LUCK

Thanks Ladies.

It went nice and smooth. Basically went over the stuff and just have to call in August to make an appointment to meet again.

I don't think I'm going to convert as the classes have started and are almost finished. The only thing I have to do is sign a paper agreeing to bring our kids up Catholic which i have no problem with and plan on doing so.

The only thing I'm going to request and they said they can possibly make an exception is that we do a full mass with communion as it's important to FH and his family.
