Don't be nervous! I'm sure if this is the church your fiance grew up things will go well. My fiance is Presbyterian and I am Catholic and we just started pre-cana. Basically the first session the priest just told us about the Saturday sessions or Engaged Encounter, gave us the online codes for the FOCCUS test, talked to us about the upcoming sessions with him and talked to us about the meeting with the music coordinator and organist and the rehearsal preferences. Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
Don't stress...the deacon isn't there to grill you or your FI. They just have formalities they need to get through. Paper work, questions, etc. The things he will ask are things I'm sure you've talked about with your FI.
I agree with the others- no need at all to be nervous. Priests are just people. And if you are still nervous during the meetings, just let your fiance do most of the talking :)

We are having our first pre-cana session with the priest who will be performing our ceremony, on Friday. We aren't able to attend the regularly scheduled classes, as we live in the Florida Keys and the closest classes are in Miami, and offered only on the weekends. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem for a couple to spend the weekend in Miami and attend classes...HOWEVER, I am the Director of Sales and Catering for 2 resorts down here, and as you all know weekends at resorts=weddings!!!! Which means that I am working every weekend they are offered. So....FMIL spoke with the Deacon and they agreed for us to do one-on-one pre-cana with the priest.
All that said, I am extremely nervous for the Friday and have no idea what to expect. I am actually Lutheran and FI is Catholic...we are getting married in his church, which is extremely important to him (this is where he was baptized, did his First Communion, was Confirmed, served as alter boy, etc). He of course isn't nervous at all, but I'm already getting a nervous stomach over the whole thing.
So, what should I be expecting and do you have any advice for me going into this first session? TIA!
