We met the Reverand and boy oh boy was it fun. Am I being sarcastic? Maybe a smidge. It’s not that I don’t like the guy—he’s actually awesome and kind and funny and realistic. It’s more that I’m not even 1% religious, so the idea of a church is more an aesthetic plan than belief system support. It’s so New England-y, all small and old and white and cute…and we’re hoping it assuages some of mother-in-law’s good old Catholic guilt about her son not being married by a Catholic priest under the ever-judging eyes of God.The Reverand, a Taiwanese transplant who joined the ministry to get the heck out of Chiang Kai-shek’s regime, is quite a trip. Life experiences and so-stereotypical-it’s-funny accent aside, he has a very unique outlook and is not afraid to have our guests sit through a nice long ceremony to share his ideas. The two-hour meeting was a little drawn out—Fiancé had to take an embarrassing bathroom break in the middle—but we came away even more excited about the wedding and with a couple great stories. If you are so lucky to be invited to the wedding then you will bear witness to said great, long-winded stories as we are wedded in Holy Matrimony and secretly wishing it was party time.
