Week 2: Trying to Secure Our Wedding Date

It's week two and I've accomplished my first three missions. I showed the ring off to the remaining people who had not yet seen it, enjoyed a great weekend with my fiance, and I have contacted St. Joe church. We have a meeting set up on October 25 to talk with Father John about making our wedding date official. We have chosen the date of October 1, 2o11. This is a special date to us because our dating anniversary is on September 30. In 2011 we will have our 5 year dating anniversary and get married the next day. Hopefully everything will work to have the date we have picked and an evening wedding. The Catholic church doesn't seem to like having evening weddings on Saturday because of Saturday night mass, but I really want an evening wedding so that the reception can follow directly after and last into the night. My mission for this week: start looking at possible reception sites. St. Joe always has their Turkey Shoot on that weekend in October and Father John said it was likely we would not be able to use their facilities for the reception because of this event. I never thought trying to get the date we have chosen would be so difficult with the church, but it seems to be that way. Good thing I have two years to plan!
