exactly. why do you pick a wedding date because it's easier to remember??? Doesn't make sense is this perfect fairytale.
ps.. oops forgot to bold the date
Why not? My husband and I would've loved to be married on the anniversary of our first date (Jan. 10), but it fell during the week, so we opted for the weekend prior (1/6) because it was the inverse of his bday (6/1). Yes, we celebrate both - our weeklong anniversary extravaganza (in two mos., it'll be 30 years since first date, 27 years married). But I digress....
Just a couple of thoughts: if she was married before, but the marriage was considered "improper form" (i.e., not a religious ceremony, perhaps a Vegas wedding or married by the Justice of the Peace), those annulments are generally easy to obtain. The Catholic annulment process for church weddings (be it in a Catholic Church or another Christian church) is longer and more intensive. But as someone pointed out in an earlier post, it's not a matter of public record.
As for her blog posts about not being used to living with a guy - assuming she was married before - perhaps she's selective editing and it was a very brief marriage.
Co-habitating prior to marriage isn't exactly a Catholic sanctioned thing, but my hubby and I used to do marriage prep for engaged couples and frankly, SP and KP's living situation was not particularly unique. A lot of Catholics pick and choose which Church teachings they will follow. Not passing judgment - it's just an observation.
What did seem a bit odd to me is that SP's bridesmaids are her sister (understandable), her future sis-in-law (nice gesture) and a few other women with whom she's been friends with approx 3 years or less. Her maid of honor just over a year, IIRC. By all accounts she seems sweet, bubbly, positive. I know she moved away for some time, but I wonder about long term friendships. (Just musing, not a judgment call. I'm quite introverted so many of my friendships are situational (work related, school related, activity related) rather than relational. As a result, people move in and out of my life, and I move in and out of theirs. I'm not sure that's typical, though.
Not sure where I was going with all this.
Finally, my vote is 4, 5 & 10.
