Catholic Church: 3, B&A: 1

Woohoo! We got one on the church. Mom worked her magic and got us a 4pm wedding time. We have to be out by 5pm, which shouldn't be a problem because the priest who will do the ceremony wanted us out by 4, so I can't imagine that he'll keep us too long. That's one perk (?) about not having someone we're close to do the ceremony--we're looking for a traditional, classic service, not something super customized, so that should be more than enough time!

Again, for the protestant-minded out there, Catholic weddings, especially if you're having a full mass, can go for upwards of 90 minutes. We aren't doing a full mass, so ours should round out around 30-40 minutes. Still long by most non-Catholic standards!

I couldn't be happier. Despite some hiccups and stress over the past 24 hours with planning, today has felt utterly charmed and blessed. Maybe I should tell Dad to head for the state line and grab a lottery ticket. We may get a free wedding to boot!
