Because of this, we only had to go through the  dispensation process, which is not as complex as the annulment one.  The paperwork does have to go to the Vatican, so it's best to keep constant tabs with the priest who handles this for your daughter.  Bottom line, find out if the ex or the husband-to-be isn't baptized.  It makes a big difference, because then the marriage isn't considered sacramental.
