/'kaυnsəl/ n. 1 the act of exchanging ideas; act of talking things over. 2 carefully considered advice.
Rachel and I had thought we’d get a bit of a break now that the biggest aspects of the wedding have been confirmed. We had our first “pre-marriage counselling” session with Pastor Dave on the weekend, and he’s given us plenty more stuff to keep us busy!
We handed him our “notice of intent” (I think it’s called), and he gave us a quick look through some sample orders-of-service, just to give us an idea of what to plan for. I hadn’t given much thought to singing, musicians, etc. but Rachel’s been mulling it over. We’ll have to chat a bit about it and work out some details. He asked us about various roles and responsibilities — “who’s doing what”, if you like. He also suggested we start thinking about when we’ll have the rehearsal. We haven’t even finalised what time the wedding itself will actually start, so we should get that organised, too! I need to organise some Auslan/English interpreters as well... Hmm...
It was a pretty productive session, and I thought it was really cool. Next time we catch up with him (in a couple of weeks) we get to run through the “Prepare” pre-marriage counselling quiz ... to work out where any possible areas of conflict might be!!
That’s a bit scary!
Cheers,
Andy
