First … Welcome to the forum.

The best place to get an answer is to see your priest. But the long and short of it is that you need the blessing of the Church for your marriage. Whether or not that involves a complete wedding ceremony or a simple Priestly blessing, the local Pastor can tell you.

Congradulations on your anulment. I hope you and your husband live a long and happy live together.

You did not say if you are Catholic. If you are not Catholic, you would need to br brought into full communion with the Catholic Church.

You should cantact your parish priest. If both of you are catholic and both are now free to marry, you will most probably be told to go to confession and have your marriage blessed by the church. Then you can approach the Table of the Lord. What a wonderful Eucharistic celebration that will be for both of you! Congratulations, my husband and I have been where you are. How wonderful it was to come home!

May God Bless both of you and strengthen you.:clapping:

like YADA said… but if you are Catholic, then go to Confession first… but best to do is to go and talk to your local priest. Good luck and welcome to the forum.
