Mine was BORINGGGGGGGGGG. We sat in a classroom with like 25 other couples and just listened to these 2 couples and the priest talk. It was a VERY LONG DAY!!! lol

We went to a married couples house for 2 hours once a week for 4 weeks. Surprisingly, it wasn't that bad. We went through a workbook and sometimes it got kind've corny, but in all honesty, it forced us to talk about things that we might not have talked about otherwise.

I was dreading it but overall it was a pretty good experience.. just time consuming.

Good luck!

We really liked it... it was 2-3 other couples, at the host couples home, in their living room for 4 weeks i think.

We just chatted - and they connected what we chatted about to the instruction guide they had and that was it.

We even had beer and snacks LOL

Re: pre-cana-those of you who have done it...

we liked ours...we did it with 40 other couples and they split us into small groups....granted some of the topics are boring but the people were fun so it was nice!

Re: pre-cana-those of you who have done it...

Ours wasn't bad, better than I expected. We had it on Monday nights and sometimes they ran til almost 10 so it was tiring but it was about 10 couples and were talked about some issues that may come up in marriage and how to be prepared etc. Its not like counseling or anything - just open conversations and lil activities.

We didn't mind it, our precana couples were very nice and funny. Every week they had yummy snacks for us, and the last session we had a pizza party

Re: pre-cana-those of you who have done it...

i'll be perfectly honest mine is weird the priest is FFIL's best friend so he's been giving us private sessions (i so wish they werent private its like the spotlight being on you the ENTIRE time) anyway he's known FH since he was a baby so he spends most of the session asking me all the questions, very personal questions i'd rather not discuss with someone i have to have thanksgiving dinner with

Re: pre-cana-those of you who have done it...

some parts were boring but i think it's essential for those who don't already live together... a lot of the topics are essential to talk about...

Re: pre-cana-those of you who have done it...

Couples were very weird. But in overall it was OK.

It was ok. Could have been worse.

The best part was DH and I saved our love letters for the plane ride home from our honeymoon - I feel in love all over again.
