"Going to The Chapel..."

Late this afternoon, Rhiannon and I met with the Pastor from the Church where we'd like to get married. Rhiannon is a member of the Church, and her parents were married there. Being that the Church that my family has been affiliated with for so long has changed drastically over the years, and not necessarily for the better, it was a no-brainer to me that we'd get married at Rhiannon's Church.

I was anxious going into this meeting because, obviously, I've never done this before. Luckily, the Pastor is so kind and warm that I felt extremely comfortable.

Today's meeting was pretty brief. We filled out a registration sheet of sorts with information about who would be attending the ceremony from our immediate families, who we've chosen to be on our sides, and other details. (He was even surprised at how organized we are and how much we've planned already! Obviously, he doesn't know us that well. HaHa!)

AND... The date is official! We will be getting married on June 26, 2010!

The part of the meeting that really made things sink in was when he began to describe the wedding ceremony. He went through everything that he's going to say... He talked about our vows, the exchanging of the rings, what we will be repeating back to him, lighting of the Unity candle, etc.

An amazing feeling came over me while this was going on...

I couldn't believe that this was really happening. It made me see how blessed I am to have Rhiannon in my life and how excited I am to marry her!

The meeting went by very quickly, and he asked us to call and schedule another one in January to talk about our relationship. He wants to know how we met, how we fell in love, what we fight/argue about, etc.

That's the part that's going to make me nervous... It's so weird to talk about all of that stuff. HaHa!

I can't believe how everything is falling into place. Wow! :-)
