Just the week after we got engaged, we called the priest at my church to find out about going to premarital counseling, which I believe it a requirement for marriage at my church. That was about two months ago! No call back yet! I've been thinking about calling again and leaving ANOTHER message, but on the other hand, if he hasn't called back then he must be pretty busy...
My sister had this same problem with the same priest-- he did call back eventually though. He called back a few months later, I believe. He doesn't just have people leave messages with the church secretary anymore, since there was confusion once, so now he takes his own messages. It doesn't seem to be working.
To call or not to call, that is the question.
Who are you going to have marry you? Have you contacted him/her yet? In case you run into problems, it would be good to contact him/her as soon as possible. You never know when someone might not get the message or something else might happen. Don't be like me-- make sure you keep trying and keep trying until you make absolute sure that they are going to be able to and willing to do it!
Well, here's the end of a short post. Until next time, friends.
Oh, wow, your officiant hasn't gotten back to you? I would definitely call because there's no need for it to be months before he gets back to you. Busy or not, a week or two is more than enough time for him to at the very least call you back.
ReplyDeleteI'd call again, it would be bad if he was planning a vacation or something when you wanted to get married! Just let him know in your message that you're an A type personality (if that's true) and need to line some things up well in advance.
