pre-cana long distance style

yes, my friends, some very fortunate progress at last!

i went to the church secretary to tell her that gary's coming to the philippines this march, that he'll be here more or less 14 days, and that yes, please, by all means, get the monsignor out here before i lose the chutzpah to demand a short pre-cana process.

the nice secretary honestly told me that as someone who's listed many a happy couple in her marriage registry, four days to get all the church requirements done is nearly impossible. i pushed for it anyway.

so now gary and i find ourselves on yahoo messenger answering agree-disagree questions about marriage. if you wanna get married as bad as we do, going through the pre-cana while you're worlds apart is a pretty fair deal. it was actually pretty fun too, discussing what he thinks and what i think about every aspect of getting married. we finished page 1 of the 6 pages we have as advance reading. we'll be doing this for the next 5 more days, then we'll go through the sacraments, the prayers, etc.

he'll get here on a tuesday and we'll head straight to the priest for our 1st interview. a relationship seminar the morning after. cathecesis lectures for wednesday and thursday. 2nd interview and confession on friday. wedding on saturday. im already getting exhausted just thinking about it. hay my gulay!:P
