The usual pre-marital preparation process involves the administration and discussion of a pre-marital inventory, participation in a Pre-Cana workshop or the Sponsor Couple program, completion of the necessary paperwork, and planning of the ceremony, including music for the wedding. According to the policy of the Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana, the first meeting between the couple and the priest must take place at least six months before the wedding date.
