Good news! We met with the priest this weekend to go over our test results (one of the perks of getting married in a Catholic church… you have to take a test) and guess what? We passed. We are officially compatible. I’m glad I know that now after being together for almost 7 years.
Anyway, I wanted to post some pictures of the church we’ll be getting married at. It’s called Immaculate Conception Church, located on the north side of IM. It’s the church I have gone to my whole life. They just put new landscaping in around the church, so it should be great for pictures at our wedding! Actually it’s part of the reason Shari decided she wanted to photograph our wedding (thanks Shari!).
These pictures were taken a couple weeks ago, but since then they’ve finished adding the rock and grass in the gardens, and they are in the process of planting flowers. Won’t it be pretty for the wedding?
Did you have to take a compatibility test for your wedding? How did you do?

I love the fountain! Mr. Bruschetta and I passed our Pre-Cana “exam” with flying colors…except in the personality match category. Huh?! I know, bizarre!
Your church is so pretty, you’re going to have great pictures. Congrats on passing the test! 
What a great fountain for photos!
Mr. Gloss’ dad is marrying us (he’s a pastor) so I think he approves!
We loved the pre-cana exam - we still joke about the things that we answered differently. I think it’s a really useful tool!
We had to take that test too. We did fairly well, but did you know that it is actually impossible to fail? Haha.
Loving the fountain!! We had to take a “test” as well, haven’t received the results yet. Congrats on passing!
We just had our FOCUSS test two weeks ago we get the results next Tuesday. It will be interesting to see how well we matched up, especially since we met via E-harmony which uses the 29 dimensions.
Congratulations on passing your compatibility test! And the church looks gorgeous… and the landscaping will look great for pictures.
We just finished taking our test on Tuesday, so we’ll see how the results came out. I have a feeling I know what we will have to talk about.
Absolutely beautiful! My fiancee and I have decided to marry outside, much to the discontent of our Catholic Parents, so no exam for us!
Love the church! It is so unique– will make for some great black & white photos! We took a test as well– more of a personality test– it was neat to see what our letter combinations were and in which ways we are “compatible”
We are going to do our test tomorrow night. I am actually looking forward to hearing what my fh has to say!
I would not call it a test. We were initially very skeptical of our pre-cana classes, but in the end we found the process to be great for marriage preparation. I’m surprised you came away from your sessions with that attitude.
ooo. I hope when we choose our church we dont have one of these. What if we don’t pass it? I would be so upset and it would bother me forever. In asian tradition i think your suppose to seek out someone that tells you about your future. My fiance refuses to do it and its like what if they say its not gonna work out or we’ll have 10 babies or something crazy
.
WOW! That church is beautiful, it reminds me of a California Mission.
Congrats on passing your test
I have always wondered…what does the church do if you fail the test? Do they refuse to marry you?
We have to take a compatibility test as well, that is yet to come. however we have already completed our 9 HOURS of NFP classes, and a weekend retreat which we graduated from with flying colors, so we are on our way! Congrats on passing the test…haha.
we took some sort of personality test…and it turns out we’re opposites. I think that means we’re compatible, right?
I’m with MightySapphire too, wondering what the church does if you fail the compatibility test?
That church will make for some gorgeous photos!
@MightySapphire: @LatteLove: We were told not to take the scores TOO seriously. The grade is actually based on a combination of concensus between you and your fiance, and agreement of BOTH your answers with the “standard” or “accepted” answer.
