Catholic Weddings

Prayers please

I have an appointment tomorrow morning to meet with our priest.  Primarily, the meeting is to ensure/establish my ability to marry in the Church.  (Long story short, I had poor judgement, married someone who neither helped me along a holy path nor had any capacity to contribute to a healthy relationship.  Once I left him, my FI who I've known almost all my life was a supportive friend.  We found love, he helped me find my path back to the Church, and we realize that this is what should have been all along).

Tomorrow I'll be sitting down with our priest and going over the logistical details of my previous marriage to find out if I have to go through full annulment or just lack of form.  From everyone else I've talked to, I'm thinking it should be just lack of form, but, of course, I'm still nervous.  I don't want to make any firm plans for the wedding until I can be certain it will be able to be a Sacrament.  

Thanks, all.

    Thank you all for the prayers.  They worked!  

    Just finished with the priest - just need to do lack of form, not ful annulment (hooray!!!!).  Got to get a copy of my baptismal certificate, then the priest will help me file the lack of form in August when he gets back from vaca.

    I do feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful and supportive FI.  I called him as soon as I finished, and he was just as happy as I am.
