I am Roman Catholic. And Filipino.
Mr Smallville is American, and Jehovah's Witness.
Becuase of this difference, he won't allow the large wedding among family and friends to be in a church, because it would make many members of his family uncomfortable.
I respect that.
However, Catholics don't recognize a wedding if it's not held within the church.
So what do we do?
Compromise.
Isn't that what married people do?
So, on August 21, Mike and I are getting married at my church.
Very small, just my parents, his parents, my sister, my friend who is a great photographer, and another Catholic friend to do the readings.
There are a few things we have to do in order to get married there.
- Meet with the priest 4 times.
- Take an Natural Family Planning course (3 2-hour classes)
- Attend a Marriage Seminar
- Have dinner with a Parish Family
It's a lot, I know, and I love him, absolutely love him, for being a good sport and agreeing to do this with me.
