And I am just irrationally amused and charmed that there is a St. Monica's in Santa Monica. Duh, probably, but still. And I think that so long as you haven't been previously married in a form recognized by the Church (Protestant weddings usually count, but Universal Life ones typically don't), having a kid with Bridget Moynihan prior to marrying Not Bridget is okie-dokie under the rules. And depending upon your local bishop, annulments are not as rare as one might expect.

I have a friend who is going the after-the-fact annulment route with her ex-husband.* They were married for 8 years. I'm not sure why the church still insists on annulments if basically anyone can get one, including already divorced people. I also think that the new guy she wants to marry in the church is Not Worthy, but none of that is my call. Clearly.
*Coincidentally, she sometimes goes to mass at Santa Monica's, though that's not the church she'd get married in.
