Blessed



Just three weeks before our second anniversary, we repeated the Catholic Marriage Rite after Father Samuel and had our rings prayed over and blessed.


Back in June, we found out that in order to be Godparents in the Catholic Church(technically I would be a "Christian Witness"), we would have to have our marriage be convalidated since we were married outside the Catholic Church at my home church in Arlington.

Patrick and I with the parents

After a lot of back in forth between a few Catholic churches, staff at the churches, a priest and a deacon, Patrick and I found ourselves on September 1st, joined by Patrick's parents and my parents at a beautiful church out in Lakeway so that our marriage could be convalidated in the Catholic Church.


A quote Nancy found that seemed fitting for our niece.
