Can we get married without completing our sacraments?
My fiance and I have been living together for 11 years and have 2 children that we have already baptized catholic.
We are not married legally and don’t have any previous marriages of any sort. I am baptized catholic and confirmation but not my first communion. My fiance was only baptized catholic. Our local church requires us to go to classes every Monday from 7-9pm from January to the end of May to complete our sacraments and a marriage prep class all day on a Saturday. Due to our work and commute schedules we cannot attend classes to complete our sacraments. But we can attend the marriage prep class. Is it possible for us to have a marriage recognized by the church and full traditional catholic mass without completing our sacraments?

Talk to your priest about receiving the sacraments before you do get married. By reciting the rosary every day with care, a person can have greater strength to do this.

You could, but it would be a mistake. It sounds as though you've been shoe horned into a one size fits all, RCIA program, when all you need is some specific training. Talk to the powers that be and ask for some special consideration. You might be pleasantly surprised.

If you believe so, you'll never get married because Jesus fulfilled all "sacraments."

Talk to your priest about this.
My guess is: they are going to be fairly insistent that you both be confirmed and "communioned" before the marriage
but
they may give you some slack
since
they consider marriage to be a much, much better condition than "living in sin" (i.e. living together unmarried).
SO: talk to your priest.
