important stuff

The other day, Pia and I went on and took care of the other less visible but more important stuff. Guess what they are?!... CHURCH INTERVIEWS and MARRIAGE PAPERWORK.

In the morning, we went to NSDG to have our cannonical interview. There were a number of couples who arrived before us so we had to wait for around 2 hours. I was quite curious what the priest would be asking us. Well, when it was our time, he didn't really ask much. I think all he needed to hear was that me and Pia are going on our 8th year together. I guess, he didn't have doubts about us as we were done after 5 minutes.

We then went to QC city hall to file for our Marriage License. Only thing with marriage licenses is that Family Planning seminar is a pre-requisite to filing. A lot suggested that we just get a fixer to take care of our papers, but when we were there, the fixers that were there were a bit shady and we just opted to go through the whole thing. The seminar took around 3 hours...useless... really useless, for the simple reason that it didnt seem like it was a family planning seminar but more of a pre-cana/marriage counselor type of seminar (which the church already provides). Anyway, the good thing about it is that we were able to survive it and was able to file our marriage license.

In 10 days, it will be ready and we'll have our license. And this only means one thing.... PARTY ON!!!
