PreCana Check!

Original post by SoonToBeMrsONeill

Sat through a VERY long weekend of PreCana... I guess it could have been a lot worse, but yay for having another thing checked off the list!

And for any future brides... Some of the speakers are AMAZING... others... not so much, but in the end you really do feel much closer to FH and it is a fun process =)

i am so excited to go to precana..mine is this weekend coming up!!! hooray!!

if you dont mind sharing...what did you actually do??



Well, the first day we showed up late, lol... No but seriously the first day was three separate 'presentations' The first guy that went, his name is Ray, we UNBELIEVABLE! He spoke about relationships and communication and how important it is. The next speaker was the wife of the 'PreCana Couple' so you have a couple that's with you for the weekend... She was okay, the way she said things made the church sound like a horrible place but I think it was just her personality... The last presentation was a different couple that talked about Natural Family Planning (which we're now doing!)

Sunday was FOCCUS (we did ours about two months prior so we got to come in late) after that it was another guest speaker she spoke about having children and adoption and how God plays a part in everything 'family' it was really really really nice! After that the husband from our PC 'couple' talked to us about financies and how communication is important and they did an activity to show how you two are really a family now and how you can't let the 'in-laws' of both sides break you apart and nobody should come in between you two. After that we went to the chaple that was in the school and we had a full Mass just for us. After that we got our certificates and went home. It was really sweet - during the Mass they did the Hand Ceremony (these are the hands that will...) it was so beautiful and Fh and I both started crying LOL!

You two will really have a great time, we almost wish it wasn't over

Aww yeah we would have done that but FH lives 3 hours away upstate so by the time he took off from work for each night and drove out here (gas/tolls/etc) it wouldn't have been worth it :-/

We did have to pay a pretty penny though, would you mind fming me how much the sessions cost you guys?
