Second Meeting with the Vicar!

Anyone?

Don't panic!

We met with our vicar at the weekend - ours was more like a first and second visit in one due to our small time frame (we are getting married in just over 7 weeks).

We discussed the O of S, the hymns we would like, the music for entry, leaving, and signing of the register. We also confirmed timings and decorations, and the dates that our Banns would be read - however even though the wedding is quite close there was no pressure and we weren't expected to have everything pinned down!

Use it as a good opportunity to discuss ideas for things like your readings and hymns etc.

It was mainly what was needed for my order of services, hymns etc. It's a nice chat and ours came to our house for a cuppa x

Hi Rachel, I'm also getting married at the end of April and I contacted the vicar a week or so ago and we're seeing him for a second meeting in the middle of Feb, which he said was about the right amount of time from the wedding. Give him/her a call

Thank you everyone - I'll try to take with us ideas for readings and hymns then. I'm nervous about what the vicar may ask. I've heard about relationship counselling and marriage lessons etc being necessary and neither would really sit well with me. it's a CoE church btw.

I am CofE too. Never had any of that.

I think they call it Marriage Preparation - awh hopefully we won't come across it either.

Talking to OH about it last night he commented - it's a little bit intrusive for a couple who've been together for 11 years. I agree with him. *Fingers Crossed*
