Not me. I though they were all Lutheran.

My first wedding was Presbyterian, with the Meyers-Briggs etc.

Here in Phoenix (for the Catholic church) we have the following steps:
1) Meet with your Pastor
2) Marriage Preparation Inventory aka FOCUS (We took our and the church office lost it. Now we have to go do it again)
3) Married Life Skills Workshop
4) God's Plan for a Joy-Filled Marriage
5) Natural Family Planning Instructions
6) Sacraments of Reconciliation
7) Final Meeting with your Pastor

This makes me feel like I need to get my job just to plan/get ready for my sometime in the way distant future wedding!

BF's parents actually help out at the pre-cana weekends at their church. Apparently there was a woman who was just atrocious last weekend, completely rude, etc...
