If either of you have been married before, you are not able to be married in the Catholic Church without first receiving a Church annulment.  If you haven't been married before, you would just have to fill out some forms and take a brief class in marriage preparation.  Why not make an appointment with your local Catholic parish priest to discuss it?  Good luck.

Like someone else said, it all depends on who you want to follow: 
Option 1: Pope Benedict the XVI 
Option 2: Your pastor
I know that if you were to marry in the Catholic Church you'd have to convert to your fiance's religion.

It's called an eclasiastic wedding or something of the sorts and is at the discretion of the actual church you have in mind.
