TALES FROM OUR PRE CANA


Taken from our Pre Cana Seminar: July 26, 2008

I thought our day was doomed. Kasi medyo nagkatampuhan pa kami on the way to our pre cana. Kasi ayaw ko talaga ma-late sa kahit saan…early bird nga eh….hehe. Eh dahil nga we are supposed to get our pre cana next year pa kasi May 16 pa ang wedding naming pero dahil pinanganak talaga yata akong persistent, kaya napapayag ko din ang mga taga simbahan na ma-schedule kami, siyempre hiya ko na lang na after kaming pagbigyan eh late pa. So ayun, usapan naming7am ang alis namin, ayun medyo nagka hassle at nasundo niya ako ng 7:30 kahit na ang Pre cana ay 8am. Ayun paspas siya talagang mag-drive…natakot nga me kasi careful yun sa driving pero siguro na-pressure ko kaya ayun medyo careless.
Thank God naman at umabot kami at hindi lang yun, early birds kami. Pero at least while waiting napaliwanag ko sa mga taga parish office yung reasons why kami on the rush to fix the requirements and documents. Being a mentor is a vocation. It’s not the type of job that gives you the freedom to leave your work behind once you are home and my dedication to being a mentor is the primary reason why we wanted to arrange the requirements early. Imagine every month may activity in school, gawaan ng grades, meeting, field trip, sportsfest, speechfest, Christmas Party and JS prom etc.
Ok ang Pre Cana namin. It was very enlightening but it was fun. We were very comfortable all throughout the seminar even during the topics na medyo sensitive. We would like to thank the Couples of Christ speakers Bro. Sam, Bro. Boy and Bro. Mario who really took the time to share to us their experiences as married men. We thought boring ang Pre Cana kasi knowing na simbahan at akala naming sermon ang format. I had a friend kasi na nung nag pre-nup sila exam format pa, they were asked what is the definition of sacraments and what are the 7 sacraments. Pero super enjoy talaga. It made us realize about a lot of things in our relationship and what just happened that morning. Kaya yun, super sorry mode after that.
What hit me the most is the discussion that “Marriage is God’s Plan”…it’s true that there had been so many people whom we have met, so many trials that had come between us…but despite it all, we are still here. Being a mentor, it’s my nature to take down notes. Mas gusto ko kasi yung we have something to look afterwards and we can ponder over it again and again, and even share.
