Marriage blessed by the Pope?

Anyone having their marriage blessed? I just read online that this is possible.  Apparently your parish can do this for you if you request it.  Just wondering....

    We were in Rome and I had a cross blessed by the Pope. I dropped the cross off and it was returned to me by mail in an envelope. I don't know what I was really expecting, but it didn't do much for me because you don't see the blessing, hear the words etc. I mean, are they going to send your marriage certificate over there and have it blessed and you get it back? Just seems silly to me, but that's just me.
