Anyone Getting Married In A Catholic Church??? HELP!

I'm getting married in the catholic church and at ours it is only one. I was baptised, had first communion, and confirmed in the church. FH is not catholic at all.

At least one person needs to be baptized and confirmed. If the other is not (like myself) you need to get a dispensation of the disparity of the cult from the bishop. That's what FH and I are going to have to get done. I think some churches are more relaxed about this though.

My FH and I are getting married in a Catholic Church. We just had to give our priest our baptismal records. FH was never confirmed, I was. I can't remember if they asked about the first communion , all I remember is the importance of the baptism. Maybe call the parish and ask? good Luck with the planning

It depends.

Are you both Catholic? If you are both Catholic, then I do believe that you would both have to have been baptized, had First Communion, and Confirmation.

For myself, I am Catholic and FH is baptized Protestant. I have my sacraments to Confirmation, but FH has only been baptized. We had to get permission from the church so that I could marry a baptized non-Catholic, but it wasn't a huge deal.

Either way, discuss the situation with your pastor and he can advise you on how to proceed.

I am Catholic and have been baptized, had my first communion and confirmed. FH, is not Catholic and it was not an issue for us to get married at my church.

My MOH and her husband got married in the Catholic church and she is the baptised, first communion and confirmed Catholic in their relationship. I think he was baptised Anglican. They had no problems doing it. Same with my friend and his wife. He was the full fledge Catholic and his wife was of a different Christian religion. She just had to agree that they would raise their children Catholic.

I'm not Catholic, and FH is. We didn't have any problems. I had to submit a copy of my baptism certificate and FH had to sign a form requesting permission from the church for us to be married. I think it's specific to the church. Some are more stringent than others.

At least one of you needs to have been confirmed. The other person needs permission from the Bishop.

One person needs confirmation and you need to get a dispensation from the local bishop - your priest will assist you with this.

My fiance is Catholic, and while I was baptised Catholic I stopped attending church after I made my communion and do not believe in any religion. We are marrying in his church. We both were told that we'd need new, up to date copies of our baptismal certificates. Since I wasn't confirmed we need a dispensation but it isn't a big deal.

All of the marriage prep stuff we have to do is driving me nuts, though.

Some churches do require that both are confirmed. My church does. I think it depends on the priest.

I'm Catholic my H is not. We were married in the church with a full mass. As long as one of you have met the requirements you can be married in the church.

I am getting married in a Catholic Church, I was baptized Episcopal, converted to Catholic and made my Confirmation. My FH is baptized Catholic but was never confirmed. As long as one of us is Confirmed we are alright. I do not even belong to the church I am getting married in, but its a meaningful church to my family.

@Serenity523 That is what I was thinking. I am Catholic baptized, confirmed, with first communion done. FH is Catholic baptized in his home country but is not confirmed or has first communion.

I have always heard only one like most of you have said, do you guys think we will have a problem?

I'm catholic, my husband isn't. I had to provide my baptism and confirmation certificates and he had to provide his from the Methodist church. Our church is known for being super uptight and big sticklers but our particular priest was really laid back. I've heard the other priest in the parish is super uptight so it really depends on the priest I think.

Churches may differ in their policies. It's probably a good idea to ask the priest in the church where you are getting married.

@FutureMrsLaguna, definitely talk to the pastor of your local parish and he'll be able to direct you. Each diocese can have slightly different policies on things (or be stricter/less strict). There's no way to know for sure until you ask. Good luck!

We were going to get married in the church, but we changed. FH is Lutheran. I am baptized, confirmed, etc. but all they needed from me was my baptism certificate.

Thank you guys for the info!! This was driving me nuts.

Only one needs to be confirmed.

Were both catholic. In the church were getting married in wants a long sheet which apparently PROVED we've both been baptized, communion, and confirmation. They said we can't bring in the certificates that our parents have. We have to go to the church and actually get this sheet with all three listed proving we've had all three.
