98 Days

We did our engagement pictures this morning at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano. I should be getting the proofs back this week so I'll post when I do. The weather was perfect! The few pictures I got to see on the camera screen looked really good!

It was such a nice morning that after the pictures we decided to go to Sarducci's by the train station for brunch... all you can drink champaign and mimosas!

Right now the biggest issue is where we are going to get married. We had planned on getting married at Mission Lutheran in Laguan Niguel. We are both currently in the RCIA (Rite of Catholic Initiation for Adults) at St. Timothy's Catholic Church (also in Laguna Niguel). My fiance is currently in the process of getting his previous marriage annuled with the Catholic Church. If this gets completed before easter (like 3 more weeks!) then we can be confirmed into the church on the Saturday night before Easter and will be able to get married at that church in June. It's such a blessing that we have both of the options available.

Typically we've been told annulments can take anywhere from 2 to 3 years. We got our paperwork in January 24th, 2010 (my birthday :) and it looks like it may get done in time for Easter! He had to have this long (3hr+) meeting with a woman (who I think was a nun) at the OC Diocese office about his previous marriage. A bunch of his family and friends who were at the wedding had to fill out paperwork, and it's been a pretty intense process. So now we are just praying and keeping our fingers crossed that it will get done in time for us to get confirmed at Easter!
