discovery weekend



our priest, fr. martin, suggested that we attend the discovery weekend by CEFAM. it was to be our pre-cana seminar. so we registered and attended the september 7 to 9 schedule. we stayed at the OMI retreat house in fairview.

on our way there, i asked jason what he thought was going to happen over the weekend. both of us were anxious because we didn't know what to expect. when we finally got to OMI, we relaxed...maybe because the place was nice and quiet but i think it was more because we saw familiar faces. and before the start of the first session, jason and i were already making friends with some of the couples who were there.

during the seminar, our facilitator said that couples can have three possible discoveries. one is that they discover that they are meant to take each other as husband and wife. second, they discover that they need to know each other more and therefore choose to postpone the wedding. and last but not the least, they discover that they're not ready and decide to call it quits. this was not meant to scare any of us there, it was reality.

fortunately for jason and me, we discovered that we are on the right track. and we are set for december 15. discovery weekend brought jason and i closer and our relationship has never been better.
