The rain.
The ceremony.
Everything.

This didn't mean of course the we slacked. We did (and continue to do) what is required from our side to prepare for our wedding day.
We now have all the paperwork done. We had attended all the seminars. We continue to work of on-the-day details.

While we are not overly religious, my fiancé and I feel that the church ceremony is the highlight of our day. It is the moment that we promise ourselves to each other in front of God and man.
Usually, if there is a priest who is close to the family, it is requested that he presides. Unfortunately for us, there isn't anybody.
So we wait for the parish to assign one of their priests to wed us. That is okay too. We are sure that any priest would hold a meaningful ceremony for us.

The interview with the priest is another requirement for Catholic weddings. It is an opportunity for the priest to assess the readiness of the couple, elaborate on the sacrament of marriage and provide guidance to the soon to be husband and wife.
It also presents a opportunity to gain insight about the bride and groom in preparation for the sermon.
Yesterday was our interview.

I left Fr. Manny's office practically skipping!
I gave my fiancé a big hug, repeatedly saying I'm so happy. Not that it wasn't obvious or anything.
We truly felt blessed because through a friend, we were able to meet the perfect priest for our ceremony.

This is a bonus. A BIG BONUS.

Grateful.
Beyond words.
Thankful.
Overjoyed.
