St. Valentine's Day is almost here and if you're planning to get married on that day, I recommend you do not.
I did. Many many years ago.
And when that marriage didn't "work out," I found myself wishing I had chosen a wedding date with less goopy significance. I would be oh-so-relieved when the presiding J.C.L. didn't throw a lung laughing upon seeing it on my annulment petition. I was also grateful the Tribunal did not base its ruling on Canon 1095,30. In fact, all the Church officials I encountered during the annulment process were extraordinarily kind and compassionate. Meeting with the tax accountant on St. Valentine's Day...something I've been doing for the past decade? Entirely my idea.
