She recently got an invitation (from Terry Greaves) to John Constantine's wedding with Epiphany Greaves. When she saw the letter she began to cry. She visits John before his wedding, where she asks "why Epiphany?". He tells Kit that, even though he does love Kit, it's different with Epiphany, and he loves Epiphany more. At their wedding (which Kit attends) she tells Epiphany this.
