Hi Selina,
It is true that any couple may have their marriage blessed by the Pope.
The procedure takes about 4-6 months so if the couple wishes this for
their wedding day, it must be done early.
The first step is to contact their local parish priest who will outline
the process. He must write a letter stating that the couple is in good
standing and practicing Catholics.
This letter then makes its way to the Vatican through the local Bishop's office.
A Blessing is then sent either via letter or some other type of decorative
certificate to the parish priest, who will give it to the couple.
Hope this helps,
Fr. Nick
