Big news included, but first a bit of background information. :)
Before even being officially engaged, we decided to meet with our Priest in order to discern our vocation for marriage. With Duncan graduating this summer and myself entering my last year of schooling, the conversation of our future came up, especially since we weren't sure where Duncan would land a job. As Catholics, this decision would not be entered in to lightly. It was important to us that we were as prepared as possible before making such a commitment and the Church does such a wonderful job preparing couples.
Anyways, we went to meet with our Priest-- whom we love so so much! And know you all will, too!-- and he informed us that our home Church would be under reconstruction next year and cannot commit to holding any weddings because they wouldn't be sure when the reconstruction would be commenced for a wedding to be hosted. He said we could, however, go to another Church. Knowing which Church would be ideal for the location, we contacted them to get information on how we could go about booking a date. Duncan wanted June, and I really did as well. We fell in love with one particular date, only to find out that that date was already booked and many others were starting to get booked up!
After many, many emails back and forth between the churches, and many games of phone tag between our Priest and the Priest of the parish we were trying to book (they had to speak on the phone with each other in order to book any dates), we all finally agreed upon a date. We are quite excited to have one in June, since June and July was pretty booked up already! - and this church offers three times a day to marry!
So, our wedding date (*drum roll, please*): June 16, 2012!
Since that is less than a year away, we are working on getting our Save the Dates made and sent just so that people who have to travel have all the information they need! So stay tuned! And have a lovely rest of your day!!
