Meeting with the Deacon

Last weekend, we had a meeting with Deacon Bauerschmidt from Corpus Christi. We attended mass first so we can start becoming more familiar with the church. The mass was nice and spending some time in the church helped us to start thinking about our ceremony. I really wish I could have taken some pictures of the inside of the church so I could share how beautiful it is, but unfortunately, I think that would have been inappropriate to do during mass. After mass, we met with the deacon to get to know him (since we actually met with the priest the first time). During this meeting we found out that unless someone books a last-minute wedding, we might end up being the first wedding ceremony that he has performed, and we have every reason to believe that we'll have a perfect ceremony! After our short introductions, Ryan and I were split up so he could ask us the required questions to determine if we were both eligible for marriage. This was a little nerve-wracking for me because I had no idea what to expect, but we passed with flying colors and it looks like they are going to let us get married! The deacon also gave us a book that will help us plan the ceremony so we can discuss it at the next meeting which is scheduled for early August.
