Aude and I are moving forward with the wedding preparations. This morning, we were up early for a meeting with our local priest, who will prepare us for marriage over the next couple of months. He seems like a lovely fellow, very friendly and approachable. But we’re a little bit concerned that he might be a bit like the new priest in “Four Weddings and a Funeral” – he’s new to the parish, having spent the last few years as a prison chaplain.

When we asked him about his previous posting, he confessed to us: “Admittedly, I haven’t had the chance to conduct a lot of weddings!”
