We're getting married by my university's Chaplain, and he doesn't know my fiance well since he didn't go there or have him for class. The chaplain requires that everyone he marries come for 3 sessions. It's really informal. The first is just basically getting to know the couple better, even if he already knows them well. The second is a discussion of a really good book we had to read called
The Good Marriage . It was boring at first, but very helpful. The third is just to go over ceremony details, etc. It's been good so far
