So I now knew what it is I needed to do to get my name on the calendar. I needed to meet with the Parish Priest. But he's so busy. After my visit to the Parish I called every day and emailed every day until I got in touch with the father. He called my on a Friday and I made the first appointment with him the following week. Once I heard from the father I called the venue and set up an appointment on the same day. We visited the venue first because it was closest to us, we put our name down on the calendar, gave the deposit, and signed the contract. Then we were off the church. I know it was a little pre-mature to pay for the venue before we had finalized the church but I was very confident that we would get the date. When we arrived to the parish office the priest was at the church giving a mass. We waited for about 30 minutes. It was so nerve-wrecking. I was nervous and anxious and I wanted everything to work out. When the Father arrived he led us into his office. He asked us a few questions about each other. He wanted to know where we were from. What we did for a living. How long we had been together. How old we were. He then decided that he would put us down on the calendar. I was so excited! It was official... we had the venue and now we had booked the church. We set the date for Saturday, July 21, 2012 at 2:30 p.m. We met with the Parish secretary and she gave us a list of wedding day guidelines and pre-requisite. We paid our "donation" and walked out excited!
