Bob and I are done with our pre-marital counseling! We expected at least three more sessions, but our counselor told us that since we’d already discussed just about everything that is normally covered in said sessions we might as well save ‘em and come back six months after the wedding. She thinks by then we’ll have issues.

Ah -- you won't need them in six months either! I mean -- that's what you have Hatrack for, isn't it? Everyone gets their advice HERE first!

Bob: I can't stand it. At least once a week she starts preaching at me and everyone else in earshot.

Obviously they'll need counseling when Dana falls madly in love with LavaLamp.[ February 15, 2005, 11:27 AM: Message edited by: Hobbes ]

Dana: He's such a backseat driver. It's like he thinks he Mr. Traffic Safety or something.

This is totally not what I thought this thread was going to be about. Dana, is it somewhere else? If you don't brag it up, I'm gonna. Unless, of course, you tell me not to.

No, you have to be older to be an Elder in the UMC.

(It means she's going to be ordained. She's been a... they don't call it probationary, but I can't remember what the word is... minister for the last 5 years. Now she'll be official. So yeah, it's a big deal.)

If they got married in MN, I could perform the ceremony. I am a licensed officiant. But then I couldn't be the maid of honor, and heaven forbid I might get to pick my own outfit out. minister. Picky, picky.

I’ve been legal to officiate at weddings for five years now. (Think of this as like getting tenure.) When we got engaged the kids in the parish did a hilarious impersonation of me performing the ceremony – “Do you, Bob, take me, Dana” “you may now kiss . . . me!”
