do you offer marriage counseling before the wedding?Yes...a lot! Before, during and after the wedding. Since I'm also a former florist and planner, my couples get one-stop shop of bonuses.
I love doing pre-marital work and I especially appreciate couples who are aware enough to seek assistance in avoiding some of those "communication" problems it seems everyone falls victim too. In the end, it's all about figuring out your frame of reference, your partner's and where they diverse/intersect. Mostly, asking questions people don't seem to think to ask until it's too late.
What is your success rate (still together vs divorced)?
Only one couple has gotten divorced. That one was a tremendous surprise. At the risk of coming over annoyingly boastful, I'm really good at seeing through people's masks. This time? Total cockup on my part. 3 months after the wedding, during a fight, the mild-mannered groom reached under the marital bed and pulled out a shot gun. (all threat, no injury) I was floored. The bride came back for more counseling and allowed as how she had seen the signs but neglected to mention them to me. Ugh. Still, I can't believe my spidey sense didn't pick up a thing.
dunno why I wanna know, just a nosey ƒüçk.Or maybe you sensed that I love talking about my work!

OK I think I missed the whole point of cat baptism then.
Seriously. Way to take the danger fun out of religious conversion there.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
You might need some chain mail baptism sleeves.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well if cats are not baptised, it's less likely other states will recognized their marriages.

Heh. Rugby players and MILF. Dude. I think I need to hang out with the rugby players at some point, I miss the testosterone.
SFistas! I'ma be in ur city, interviewin' 4 ur jobs!! Or, rather, in Foster City, but whatever. They just sent me an itinerary--get out to SFO around 5:30pm on Thursday the 23rd, and leave at lunchtime on Saturday. (Friday would be an all-day exhausting sort of interview). Not sure how much they'll have planned, or how much I'd be up for, but...I'll let you know!
(Seattleistas, I'm still working on getting to that point with your companies)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Friday night dinner? Saturday morning breakfast? We can work something out, even if it means meeting at one of SF's tiny number of 24-hour diners for milkshakes at 3 a.m.
meara - Aug 08, 2007 12:54:27 pm PDT #605 of 10001
Yeah, probably Fri night dinner or Saturday brunch (mmm, brunch....). Not sure if they'll do a whole "oh, here's someone to take you to dinner" thing or not. I've never actually done the whole flying-around-interviewing thing, though several colleagues have.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Foster City is pretty close to me, meara, if you want to try to work out dinner or brunch- I can help out with Bart transporatation if you want.
