baptism, bread, and blessings

Today Rob is getting baptized in our church, the church that he and I will be married in, in less than 100 days. His parents are coming to the service as well, which is awesome. That Rob, who really doesn't put a great deal into religion in general, wants to do this, for me, is just one more reason why I love him so. Many men in the same circumstance would just say "hey that's the way I am, love it or leave it". But not Rob.
True to form, we have found humor, even in this. When I asked him if he was excited about getting baptized he simply said "its a few prayers and a sprinkle of holy water." And it is, really, at it's base level. I mentioned there would be an annointing with oil.
Rob ::look of horror:: Oil? Where?
me - it's just on Rev. Peggys fingertip and she makes the sign of the cross.
him: how much oil are we talking about? Will I get a breakout?
me - it's like a drop.
him - what kind of oil? Is it extra virgin olive oil? Do I need to bring bread?
When I finally stopped laughing about that, Rob then asked - "so the baptism part? Do I have to get naked?"
I could have been really mean and said yes, but I just couldn't do that. He's seen Big Fat Greek Wedding too many times with me, I think. :)

In other wedding news, the invitation put together occurs today after the service. Also, Mom and I got our shoes. Very chic. We are both pleased.
Oh! Both the MOH and the MB have gotten their dresses! They are so beautiful, both the dress and the lovely ladies wearing them. I cannot wait to see them all dressed up. These girls have been amazing. Everyone has really. I truly am so very blessed.
