YUM.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m making a bit of progress on the wedding front&#8230; I contacted a church in Southern CA and I&#8217;m just waiting for the pastor to call me back to discuss our situation and see if he&#8217;ll allow us to be married in his church. I also contacted a priest (Fr. Joe!) who was the pastor of the church I grew in and he&#8217;s agreed to preside over the ceremony. YAY. I think I&#8217;ve known him since I was 6! He was there for some big events in my life (8th grade graduation, confirmation, my mom&#8217;s funeral) so it kind of makes sense for him to be a part of the wedding as well. I&#8217;ve communicated with him via email so he doesn&#8217;t know the *whole* story and he&#8217;s on vacation for the next week but I&#8217;m hoping he&#8217;ll still agree, despite the fact that Rob&#8217;s not confirmed. He&#8217;s also willing to preside at another church, which is huge because his home parish isn&#8217;t close to any of the reception sites we&#8217;ve been looking at. I&#8217;m crossing my fingers. I just want the venues and the date to be set! <\/p>\n<p>Then the real planning can begin&#8230; \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s so weird to have a day off in the middle of the week.
