The Roch is in the building.
Fr. Roch, my Form Master from Cistercian is going to be officiating our wedding.
I haven't kept in touch with him since I graduated...
In fact 10 years had passed since I had last seen him at our graduation in 1993. When I showed up at out reunion last year he says, "The prodigal son returns!"
After 10 years, I would expect somewhat of a stranger... He's been in an abbey, I've been through school, am now cultivating my career... And yet I forget that I've spent 8 years with this guy. And that he probably knows more about my adolescence than my parents do. With Fr. Roch I know that someone's always thinking about me. Even if it's been a decade since I attempted to make contact with him.
I would want no one else to marry Marissa and I.
The date we picked was based largely on his availability.
Here's Marissa outside the Cistercian chapel when we first went to meet with him.
Fr. Roch loves her.
