[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My pre-cana was also a weekend (there were two options -- one was  weekend crash course; the other choice was once a week for a few months).  It was led by 2 lay couples, although a priest said mass and may have been there for one panel.  There was only one segment on natural family planning, and it was interesting, although we never used it.  
I guess I'm wondering what your objections to pre-Cana are. 
 I'm also a little confused by your statement that you're not sexually active because you're not ready for kids.  I get if you're not sexually active because you want to wait until marriage, and I'd get that you're not ready for kids, but are you intending to get married and still not be sexually active?  Maybe I misunderstood...but that would seem like a much bigger issue than where you're getting married.[/quote]

Apologies for the confusion. My SO is the one who doesn't want to do pre-cana because it's a pre-req. to get married in the catholic church. I'm not confirmed in the church and given we want to be married by late summer '16, I don't have time for the RCIA class and I'm not particularly interested in having to spend more money, find time, and find a sponsor.

YES, we are def. going to be sexually active post-wedding! One of us is sexually inexperienced, the other is not. It was a choice we made within weeks of dating that we would not be sexually active til marriage. Yes, I am fully aware how odd that might sound in this day and age, but it's a decision that we agreed upon with no reservations or contingencies.

How much did your pre-cana classes cost? Does it vary from church to church or is it set by the Arch. Diocese of Washington? [/quote]
