Meeting with a priest

Go casual and breathe! Everything will be OKAY. Don't let the priest freak you out lol. He's just going to ask questions to make sure the sacrament of marriage is what you guys really want and then so on and so forth.

Our meeting with the priest was super casual. The only questions he asked were: have we ever been married before? have either of us ever been in a psychiatric institution? Are we both Catholic?

After that he told us we were good to go and started asking questions more about when the wedding is, do we want a full mass, etc.

I am a non-practicing Catholic and made that clear to him. He wasn't offended or put off or anything.

We talked a bit about the music, and he gave us the registration information for the marriage prep course. That was about it.

You will be perfectly fine. Wear what you would wear to Church.

Agree with the above. Go casual. Our meeting with the priest was very informal. He asked us some questions - I am a non-practicing catholic & also made this clear & he was ok with this as long as we would consider bringing our children up in the Catholic faith. My FH & I also lives together, and again he was ok with this.

He will give you some information on pre cana classes, he might do a PNI with you there (that's what they did w/ us), he may give you a book of marriage readings (we are doing a short ceremony with no communion & I had to pick 4x - otherwise they will pick them out for you, and I wasn't chancing that they would pick a reading that states I would obey or be subservient). They may also give you & FH 2x papers each to be filled out by friends/family - people who will vouch for you. These papers are like essays with questions already written out. The only caveat to that is that they must be in your state.

Hey Jeniffer! Welcome to the WeddingWire community!

As the pp’s have pointed out, there is no need for you to be worried about meeting with your priest.

Don’t worry about dressing up too much, you can wear something smart but casual, think what you would wear meeting friends for lunch. Make sure you are comfortable in it! Especially if you are going into the meeting a little nervous!

After that, this is just a routine meeting so that the priest can meet you as a couple!
