Pre-Cana Meals

I have Pre Cana tomorrow night and all day Saturday. I know they will feed us, but I'd like to know what kind of food is served.

For girls that have already been through the weekend Pre-Cana. What type of food do they serve and what are the timings.

The reason I'm asking is because I am on a strict diet (in order to fit into my dress) and if anything, then I'll just take my own food in. Maybe that sounds more reasonable regardless of the food provided. Official weig-in for me is Sunday and I don't want to $crew it by eating crappy on Saturday.

Hope I'm making sense.

TIA

I went to pre-cana last Saturday all day and they had:
coffee
tea
soda
water
sprite
diet soda
hot coco
bagels / crumb cake in the am
sandwiches -- turkey & cheese / ham & cheese / roast beef & cheese for lunch
salads - cole slaw, potato, macaroni
regular lettuce salad
pretzels / chips etc to snack on

HTH!!!!
Good Luck!! Have fun!!!!

When I went, they had pastries and crumb cakes for breakfast and spaghetti, meatballs, salad and pudding for lunch.

For Breakfast they had:
coffee
juice
tea
water
danishes
bagels w/ butter or cream cheese

For Lunch:
soda
water
pasta & meatballs
chicken franchise
salad w/ dressing

Desert platter w/ cookies

I feel like I am missing out on something...my priest told me I don't have to do Pre-Cana because I have been in the parish since I am seven and my FH has been coming to church with us for years...

Is it fun? Am I missing a cool part of the wedding planning process?

Thanks ladies!!!

It seems like I should pack my lunch and look the other way. I will be tempted by crumb cakes, and cookie platter.

Yikes!!! I can't give in though. It's going to be hard.

sunday's weigh in should tell the story.

Uh... I'm really surprised by that recommendation. As far as I know, pre-cana is required by the church for a recognized marriage in the church.

yeah, I'd double check that one! I know for us, the pre-cana certificate is just as important as the baptismal certificates as documents required for the ceremony to take place....

It's tedious, yet fun.... and in the end, we appreciated each other more, so it was a good experience. I'd do it if I were you, since it really is required by the church... If you don't, the dioscese fould make a big stink at any time!

we had for foccus

coffee
tea
Water
juice
bagels
pastries
cookies


precana was lunch

meat lasagna
veggie lasanga
salad
banana pudding (southern thing LOL)
rolls
Sweet Tea (again southern thing!)
Soda
Water
