So after posting my cry for help, I took some of your advice.
I was at the local mercado, shopping for some basic cooking supplies when I found myself in the aisle where they carry the "velitas." (Apparently they call them "veladoras" in Mexico.)
I tried to remember who it was I should pray to and be
lighting the candle for if I’m looking to get married.
Jesus?
Nah, that seems
too basic.
St. Valentine? Does he even have a candle? Do we really pray to
him?
Oh! I know! San Antonio!
Right?
I decided to look for a St. Anthony candle. I was in deep
thought and concentrating really hard . . . and then I found it! Success!!
Armed with my velita, I begin to head to the front counter
to check-out when . . .
BAM!
There he was. An Adonis. It was almost painful to look at
him. But I also couldn’t look away because he was looking directly at me. It
felt like his eyes were piercing right through me to my soul. My first
conscious thought became a prayer of thanks, “Wow! Gracias, San
Antonio!”
Ay Caramba! Now he’s coming towards me! He opens his mouth
to speak . . .
And that’s when I woke up.

You can always try St Jude, patron saint of lost causes, except you are not a lost cause!What about St Anne, St Anne, send me a man?
St. Catherine, St. Catherine,
O lend me thy aid.
And grant that I never shall die an old maid.
A husband, St. Catherine,
a good one, St. Catherine.
But anyone’s better than no one, St. Catherine.
A husband, St. Catherine,
young, St. Catherine,
handsome, St. Catherine,
nice, St. Catherine,
soon, St. Catherine!
c-f,How do you KNOW this stuff??
I was going to suggest the St.Jude thing to her, but I figured that at 25 her cause is not yet lost. (I added the video to this post instead.) =D
