Should we be meeting w/ the priest before the rehearsal? Is that usually how its done? I met with the priest once last year to book the church and I would call the church directly, but they arent very helpful.

---

I just emailed my priest and he told me it wasn't necessary becasue we could hash out everything at the rehearsal..which I don't necessarily agree with that but whatever! haha I say if you ffel uncomfortable or anxious request to meet before the rehearsal just you the preist and FH

We got our license last week

At this point i wish I could could hash this entire wedding out in a day! If you are doing programs, are you just going to go with the readings you selected and hope there are no problems?

THat was my exact issue, I had no idea where to put stuff in my programs so I did a rough draft and emailed the priest and he actually responded with corrections in red! it was great, so I know exactly what to give my readers...otherwise I was a mess

Thats EXACTLY what my priest told us!

I just called my church yesterday to find out what was going on with the deacon because he hasn't contacted us yet and I know he said we'd meet a month before. (A couple from the parish is in charge of the rehearsal so he's not present from what I gather).

Anyway the lady at the church was like, 'Ugh I always have to remind him to do things! Men!' So she told me she'd tell him to call us.

Otherwise I'm pretty calm. Now alot of the DIY projects need to get done. Menus, programs, favors, etc. Plus we're in the process of meeting with the vendors for the final time and of course, throwing money away!

We still have to...
Get out license
Finalize centerpieces
DIY menus
DIY table number
Seating arrangements
Buy flower girl basket & ring bearer pillow

But I am picking up my dress Saturday
