Days 286 - 291

We just had the last meeting with our vicar. We spent almost 90 minutes going over the words of the marriage service and what they meant. It was most thought provoking and enlightening. The end result is that we are both looking forward to our wedding even more than ever.

I am surprised by just how much time I have for Val the Vicar. She is everything you could hope for from your local cleric - open, warm and loving, yet with a certain firmness and sense of purpose. Basically, not at all as I expected. The fact that she is so obviously keen for us to get married is a huge plus for us. Clearly something we said or did made her like us, but I can't imagine what it was!
