can I marry my fiance in a Catholic ceremony?

Mixed marriages are not encouraged but they are allowed and quite common these days. There are two different kinds

1. two baptized people one catholic

2. one catholic and one non-baptized person.

In the first case you need a permission from his priest, in the second from his bishop. In both cases you will have to go through Catholic marriage preparatory classes and promise that the children will be raised in the faith.

Yes, but you will need to agree to allow him to raise any children of the marriage as Catholics.

The best education on this is to sit down with a Catholic priest and learn what the options are and why... You will find a lot of ignorant people on here who will say ignorant, wrong and hateful things about the Catholic Church.

The best source of information is the Church itself. You are wasting your time here.

It depends on the specific church and pastor. Some will marry you regardless...others, more devout Catholics, won't preside over the marriage or won't allow the marriage to be held in a Catholic church unless you convert. You and your fiance would have to go talk to the pastor of the church and the pastor you want presiding over the ceremony (if they're two different men) to see what their rules are about that.

A friend of mine just got married...her husband is Catholic while she is Jewish and neither wanted to convert. They each got someone from their own religion to preside over their ceremony, but neither would allow the ceremony in the church or synagogue. They didn't agree bringing a mixing of religions into their churches. So they had an outdoor wedding instead. It wasn't exactly what my friend had pictured when she started the wedding planning, but she agreed that it was beautiful nonetheless.

definite, your sister could be married interior the Catholic Church, yet there are particular standards. First, she could desire to comply with advance any little ones interior the Catholic faith. Secondly, the couple could desire to get carry of a dispensation (permission) from the Bishop. The priest on the church the place the marriage will take place can help them get carry of that. Thirdly, like each Catholic couples, they could desire to anticipate a pre-marriage interview with a clergyman and/or a pre-marriage classification. this is to ascertain that the two events comprehend what a Catholic marriage is all approximately. she would be able to no longer grow to be Catholic by marrying interior the Church, she keeps her non secular id until she comes to a decision to transform. that's an entire diverse technique. this is significant word that if a Catholic marries a non-Catholic interior the Church, the marriage is recognised and totally valid, in spite of the undeniable fact that it is not a Sacrament. that would not rely plenty to a pair, in spite of the undeniable fact that it concerns very plenty to others, so the couple could desire to evaluate that. desire that helps!

It could only be done if you agreed to raise your children Catholic and have a Catholic home. Since you aren't interested in that, it's not the thing to do.

But obviously since your fiance chose you to marry, he's not that serious a Catholic either - so just have a civil ceremony, or something non-denominational.

Most Catholic priests will refuse. You could try getting an Anglican priest, Anglicans (also called Episcopalians) have almost the same ceremony but their doctrine is technically protestant.

you have to ask them because some might bend the rules and others might not good luck
