I know that during the wedding event planning, other things can fall between the cracks. But the planning for the wedding is pittance compared to the planning and dedication one needs to commit to planning a marriage. Right?

I grew up Roman Catholic - very Roman Catholic; My Guy, Baptist. And now we both consider ourselves as highly spiritual, yet, not diggin' the whole "organized religion" thing.

I asked My Guy if he would want to take part in that - he was less than exuberant about the idea, though he agreed. I wish there was a secular counseling available. Do those exist? They must. I think that would be a better fit for us. I need to do a lil homework on that.
