Two Week Drama

October 16th, 2007 @ 1:57 pm by Mrs. Kiwi

I’m writing from the edge of my sanity, here. Last night we had our final meeting with the Father, who had tried to talk us into having a mass, telling us the ceremony would be short and meaningless otherwise. When I replied about my Dad’s side probably not going up to receive a blessing, he bet me Mr. Kiwi’s salary (he works there) that they WOULD. Well, I know my family, and they WOULDN’T. Two weeks before the wedding- I don’t need him to change everything we’ve had planned for over a year!!

When I came home, I had an email from the church lady, saying she had no paperwork for me yet. Um. I sent it via snail mail- at her request. What do you do when the only person who controls your ceremony has no idea who you are, despite talking to me many times?

In our meeting last night, Mr. Kiwi and I realized we had forgotten the certificate for the marriage prep class. Mr. Kiwi didn’t tell me I needed to bring this- so I didn’t. Mr. Kiwi also confused the instructions of our letters of freedom- they have to be signed by someone in our family, either in front of a priest or a notary republic. Mr. Kiwi was under the impression the father would sign them and then give them back to us to sign. I didn’t think this was correct, but he DID talk to Father. He was wrong.

Ick…what’s with church venues being a pain lately. Sorry they’re adding stress.

The only one in my family who used Tums was my aunt ,and she bought them in bulk from Costco. Mind you she had four kids. Maybe I should put you in touch with her. :)

Question: what are letters of freedom?

Angel, letters of freedom are a typed sheet that you have someone close to you fill out and sign stating that you are free to marry the other person. Basically saying you’re not already married, and no one is forcing you. :) These have to be signed in front of a priest or in front of a notary.

Oh Miss Kiwi, I SOOO feel your pain. With everything almost done, the one area where the most problems have risen from was from the ceremony! It got soo bad that I even broke down in front of one of the church ladies because I just couldn’t handle it.

Just keep reminding yourself, it’ll all be over before we know it! :)

I’m sorry you’re stressed hon! I don’t blame you for feeling frazzled that they’re trying to change things up so close to the big day.

Everything will work out!

Aren’t church people supposed to be nice?! The lady at my church is NASTY. She thought my date was a year earlier than it was and she called to give me the business about how she was going to open my date back up because I hadn’t gone through pre-cana, finished my payments, etc. It took me five minutes of terror before realizing what had happened. Of course, she didn’t apologize afterward, but rather offered another lecture on the benefits of being prepared. My wedding is not until next September, so I have a lot to look forward to!

Good luck and stick to your guns!
