More About Us

My name is Ethan, 31, from Singapore.
My girlfriend, Fang and myself were planning to get married this year.
As we are both christians,
we want this union to be blessed by our church and of course, the Lord.
So we decided to go through the required procedures before we can get
married in a church and solemnized by our pastor.
The requirements are:
1) 2 sessions of Marriage Preparation Course which is non-religious.
2) 2 Christian-based sessions conducted by our marrying pastor,
using scriptural teachings to reinforce what have been taught in part 1.
3) 10 weeks of nursery duty.

In the beginning,
we thought that the whole procedure would take us roughly a whole
year or more to complete because of the course dates available.
We were thinking of not fulfilling this requirement and book a ROM
date on our own instead.
But we stuck to the original plan for it was God who brought us together,
and getting our pastor to bless us in a church is really significant and
meaningful for both of us.

We started our first nursery duty on 7 Oct 2007,
and done MPC on 13 and 20 Oct 2007.
Much as we tried,
we could not finish the nursery duty in 10 consecutive weeks as planned.
However, we managed to complete it before 2007 ends.
YAY to that!

As of today, 6 Jan 2008,
we have completed the first session of MPC part 2 with our pastor!

We will be sharing some lessons we learnt during MPC,
which we felt important and meaningful to us,
and perhaps other couples would find useful in their future plans.
