We were both very nervous about the meeting, but everything went very well. We were nervous he might say something about our living arrangement, but he didn't say anything. He filled out some forms with our personal information and then asked a series of questions such as are we related in any way, is anyone forcing us to get married, and does anyone in our families object our marriage. Some of them were really funny. But, we talked about a few minor details about the ceremony, but not much. We have to set up a series of other meetings to really get down to the nitty gritty. He gave us a book where we can select he readings and response song and the vows and what not. He also gave us "homework" and strongly encouraged us to write our wills, fill out the paperwork where you say what you want done to yourself if you can no longer make choices, and give one another power of attorney. He said that when we are married we will automatically have power of attorney, but he said he never know what can happen between now and the wedding date, and we should be prepared. I tried my best to take all of this seriously, but it was really scary. Then we signed some paperwork agreeing that we told the truth and we were on our way.
Target was amazing. I have waited to do this for longer than I have known Mike. I was always very jealous of the girls getting married who got to walk around the store with the big scanning gun. It was weird at times, because we didn't have the best game plan, so we were making choices on things like towels and what not trying to envision what we wanted out of our home. Because we weren't prepared, we didn't pick out an everyday use set of dishes or siverware. But, we had a blast. We were in there for about two hours, and it felt really weird leaving and all we bought were two Ginger Ales.
