    7 and a half hours where 99% of what was said was in Cebuano! It was only the fact that the posters used in the seminar were in English meant I knew even if it was all spoken in English, I probably still would have been just as uninterested.

    Thanks to the heat and the boredom, I did find myself nodding off a few times near the end of the day. A couple of times when I did, I noticed a very evil stare coming back at me from the woman doing her bit for the day!

    The only entertaining point for me in the whole experience was when Yam wrote my address in the register and then had to explain to the woman that my home address was very real and the Isle of Man did actually exist!

    Anyway, ultimately it now means we're one step closer to getting married and I now how a slightly amusing experience to recount to friends!

    That's bad luck Simon, when we had the pre-marital seminar it was all over in about 15 minutes. I think you must have found yourselves a real jobs-worth counselor.

    Same for Hanna and I - no more than 15 mins. I actually told the lady that I was a teacher in England and she said, "Well Sir, I don't think I need to keep you here for very long then!" This is the truth!!

    So were WE, funnily enough! In fact, looking back now - strange as it may seem - neither of US attended ANY kind of pre-marital seminar, whatsoever. ... From the Church's perspective, does this mean we're "living in sin" ...?

    Same for Rochelyn and me.
    We were both pleased that the lady gave us a piece of paper indicating we had done it, especially when she told us it was going to be in Cebuano.
