First meeting with Catholic priest?

It is really nothing to be nervous about. There will likely be a brief "getting to know you" portion followed by a review of your diocese's process and requirements for marriage prep (inventory/quiz, classes, retreats, etc).

I need some reassurance ladies!

Be prepared for a lot of questions!

our priest asked us questions separately about our religion, family life and other things relating to marriage.

i was so scared going in, but it wasn't so bad!

Relax and go in with an open mind. If he is your regular priest, you are familiar with his personality and he may recognize or even know you. As songbird says, he wants to get to you know and your fiance and go over any pre-marital requirements. He will probably also want to be reassured that you two are doing this of your own free will and are 100% committed to each other, which shouldn't be a problem for you to convince him of that. Try to go in with an open and honest attitude with little to no expectations, let him lead the meeting (remember, he's done this before), and try to enjoy talking about your vows.

I met with two, one was lovely and the other, not so much. But the first guy was great, super friendly and pretty open minded. They just want to get to know you as a couple, and as individuals. They'll ask about your childhood, how you met, what your plans for the future are, etc. Kids will obviously come up. It should be enjoyable!

My FH and I met with the priest that's going to be marrying us a few months ago. Just be yourselves and I am sure everything will be fine. He'll ask a lot about you and tell you a rundown of how the ceremony will go. We also had to sign a paper saying that we were going into the marriage willingly. Also, I'm not sure what denomination you are but I am Roman Catholic and we had to complete Pre Cana. That wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be at ALL. Be prepared to answer A LOT A LOT A LOT of questions then if you have to do Pre Cana!!

For me, I had met with my Priest after mass a few weeks prior to FH and I's appt and we chatted with my mom so the initial nerves went away there. You are head of the game though --- FH and I live together and he isn't baptized! SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS LIKE AHHH. but he was cool and now we're getting married in the church i grew up in.

Good Luck =)

We met with the Roman Catholic priest last week- I was so very nervous but it went well. I wanted to get married at the church my parents and grandparents got married in and we didn't belong to the church but have joined now. We live together, but are not regular church attendees. We avoided the house situation but he asked a lot about our Catholic faith growing up and our families faith. Our first meeting was just a get to know us and to talk about our faith and he explained the process. We have a couple to help with the process and have to take an inventory(?) and we have to go on a weekend retreat. My fiance and I went to mass before we met the priest so we could hear his sermon and so my fiance could see the church.

Just relax, it will be fine Our priest is so nice and I feel so honored he is going to marry us

My priest is my uncle, so it was a slightly different dynamic haha.

We met with him once to officially ask him to marry us. He just asked basic questions like why do you want to get married, what do you think his best/worst quality is, etc. He also asked FH about his family and religious background (he obviously knew mine already!) FH is not Catholic, so he asked a few questions about how we wanted to handle the ceremony.

It was pretty relaxed! I don't think the first meeting is anything to worry about. I'm more nervous about the pre-cana stuff we have to do.
