Canonical Interview

We had our interview last Saturday with the Parish priest of OLCP. The interview is a requirement before we could get our forms for the Banns. Ane was the first one to go, then it was my turn, then the two of us together.

I was kinda nervous about this interview. Ane was more nervous than I was (I think!) because he pissed me off big time the night before, ehehehe. Peace!

Anyway, it was easy, except that the priest spoke in english and he kept on eating his letters. I had to ask him to repeat some of his questions. But he tried to make it as light as possible, asking humurous/tivial questions such as:

"Do you plan to have an abortion?"

"Do you plan to leave the country and leave your spouse behind?"

"Are you religious?"

"Do you plan to kill him?"

I would flinch upon hearing the questions. But later I realized, it made sense, all of it. Afterall, marriage is a covenant that shouldn't be destroyed by no one or nothing but death.

I guess the priest just wants to be sure we are ready for such big commitment.

having problems with pasting pics..aaarrrggghhh!!!

What's with blogger?!? I tried attaching pictures to my last two entries and it just doesn't work. I tried uploading directly, but it returns an error. I tried adding codes to attach pictures from our yahoo album, it doesn't work either. Even if I use photobucket, I fail.

This is so frustrating especially when I so wanna share pictures!!! ***ranting...ranting..ranting..***

Anyway, it's wayyyy past my bedtime (in Ane's clock , that is!) so I gotta stop figuring it for now. If I don't get back later, just click on the links for the mean time.

big sigh.

Our invite by Spyder Creative is thermograph printed on Mocha and Ecru paper. The print is colored brown. We chose the cursive font ourselves because we didn't want to just follow the usual samples in a common invite these days. According to Ms. Adaline, this design has been in their catalogue since year 2004. Therefore, this is a not so new design afterall. But it is wonder why Ane and I immediately fell in love with this. It was in fact love at first sight!


Our love story with this "Tying the knot" invite started when we went to the March fair at the NBC Tent. We actually had a simple design in mind: A traditional rectangular (definitely not square) plain invite, that is three-folds and opens horizontally, the fonts to be used are plain print type (i.e. arial) and a not too cursive script (i.e. not scriptina or beautiful), not necessarily showing our motiff which is orange-green-yellow, and Spyder was most likely our choice to render what we had in mind. :)


As we were browsing thru Adaline's album, while she attended to another client, Ane suddenly said, "Ane, ito!!!"...and I didn't need some convincing anymore. :) We just felt it.


And we knew our hearts we're sold right there and then. c",)
