Covid-19 and terrible timing

My point is, yes she can civilly marry anyway she wants

Nope. You are not accurate. Your “example” involved two non-Catholics one of whom later wants to become a Catholic.

The OP is a Catholic.

These are entirely different situations.

This is full of incorrect assumptions. Please read my post again.
I was a craddle catholic. Not a practicing, faithful catholic. By the time I decided to come back home, I was already in a 4 year relationship, and engaged. So yes it’s fair to call him my fiancé, not just “a friend”.

Are you confirmed?

I was making hypothetical example to the other poster.

Yes, but that was before I left the church. I don’t know what steps are to be taken in my situation. If I could I would go to confession and talk to a priest but everything is closed…

Yes, but that was before I left the church.

That’s good news. Because confirmation is to precede marriage, so that won’t be a source of delay if you are already confirmed.

Yes, if you are fully initiated (baptism, confirmation, Eucharist) then a good confession is all you need to move forward.
