CMPC 1
Catholic Marriage Preparation Course (CMPC) is compulsory for all Catholics who wish/vow to get married in church, bless by the priest and shower with confetti like the Ferrero Rocher’s commercial.
Ahem… confetti is band in the church compound.
A lot of people don’t have anything nice to say about CMPC. Most of them think it’s just a piece of paper to allow you to get married. It’s almost the same like when we were in school, Bahasa Malaysia was a subject we can’t fail or we don’t the SPM certificate to graduate and go to college.
Alright, we went to our first CMPC meeting last Sunday. It was conducted by Andrew and Andrene, a couple who conducted the course for the past 24 years.
Cute couple, both of them is funny, and they tease each other a lot.
The meeting was in their home at Taman Melawati. It is a neighborhood near National Zoo, about an hour drive from PJ.
Very nice and cozy neighborhood; very nice and cozy home with lots of paintings and photographs dated from 42 years ago. Almost… like a museum.
There were another 8 couples with us. All are young, all are nice, and all of them came with an open mind.
How lucky we are? We thought.
The entire 3 hours… tea, snack, chat, quiz, sharing, discussion, and lots of laughter. Not a bit of lecture.
The verdict – we enjoy it and I can’t wait to go to the next meeting. I’m not sure about Alvin though, he seems to be more interested in the Hindu God statue in Batu Cave.
Monday, I told Melisa “CMPC is fun, you should enjoy it!”
“I wonder if there’s any way to get out of it…”
“You wouldn’t give up your dream wedding, are you?”
