I believe Kevin and I have a Guardian Angel.
On Monday, Kevin called the Arch Diocese in Baltimore because we still had not heard the the word on if the annullment was going to go through. The secretary for the Deacon that was dealing with our case took a bunch of information and told him she would call him back. It wasn't 5 minutes later and she called back with the dreaded words. "Non-response from the defendant (Kevin's ex), it will now go before a hearing and will take another 2-3 weeks."
Kevin tells me this and I about break down in hysterics. I need to order my invitations. I just want to know where we are getting married. The stress of everything is seriously getting to me.
Kevin asks the secretary if there is anyone to rush it, and explains how long its taken and what we have been through. She said she would put a note in the file, but there is no guarantee.
Here is where things get interesting.
Kevin texts me Wednesday afternoon and tells me that we have a letter from the Diocese and asked me if I wanted him to open it. I'm thiking its probably just a letter telling us what the secretary told Kevin on Monday.
The words I got back from Kevin:
"Guess what?" "We are free to marry each other in the Catholic Church."
My response:
"OMG! Take a picture! Happy Tears! Now I can order invitations"
Kevin called the secretary today to thank her for whatever she did to help speed along the hearing, her response:
"I didn't do anything out of the ordinary - but sometimes things happen around here quicker than normal, and only the Lord knows why."
Honestly, I don't care what that woman says....she was my angel when I needed one. So to the woman in the diocese that heard our story and helped us when we needed it....this couple will forever be indebted to your kindness. Thank you for helping me get the wedding of my dreams in the church of my dreams.
P.S- I ordered the invitations last night. :-)
