Started Pre Cana

So we started pre cana last night and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It actually prompted some important conversations between me and FH!

i am glad to hear that

at first i was excited but now as FH complains more I am getting SO NERVOUS - i hope he doesnt hate it. . .i would hate to make him miserable for 6 weeks!

FH was complaining too, and when I asked him last night what he thought of it, he had changed his opinion. I'm sure your FH will feel the same. Don't worry!!

That sounds refreshing :)

How many sessions/how long is pre cana for you?

You only have to do precana if you plan on getting married in a church right? An enquiring jewish girl would like to know (that is me)

---

im not getting married ina church, we are interfaith but FH asked a preist from his church to do the ceremony with a Rabbi, they suggested to be recognized by FH church that we do interfaith pre-cana.

im not sure of all the details but the preist did say they require precana for interfait even when they are getting married in the reception hall.

I'm not looking forward to this....what kind of things do you talk about?

It's not bad, I promise! We sit in groups of other engaged couples and fill out questionnaires from a workbook. We each answer the questions on our own and then compare. The group is moderated by a married couple who facilitates the discussion.

So far we talked about our differing communication styles and where we see ourselves in the next 3-5 years.

It really was interesting and pretty painless.

I agree. Most of the couples in ours are getting married in the next few months. I think we are the only '08 couple there, but I wanted it done with!
