Ceremony site, Officiant, Reception venue
I am happy to announce that I have two out of the three checked off!!! I have always loved this church and remember thinking a while back that I would love to get married in this particular church. I have choosen St. Bernardine's Catholic Church in Suitland, Md. My mother use to help at the church and the pastor there. Although the pastor, Fr. DePorter has left that location he has remained very much a friend of the family. He retired and is now helping at other churches to occupy his time. There was no question in my mind that I wanted him to marry Jason and I...and sure enough as soon as he heard I was engaged, he volunteered his services. He's a very kind man! He sent me music tapes for the ceremony to see what songs I might like, but ummm I think I will be searching some more. Fr. DePorter has met Jason, and his family, blessed my engagement ring and is asking questions about reception venues. I think its pretty funny that he's soo involved, but I think its a great thing. I love having all this support and love.
