Hi! My fiance was born and raised Catholic, whenever we are with his family, we go to church with them. However, I was not raised Catholic. I believe in God, and the Bible so I do not object to being baptized, However we live together and have been for over 2 years. We will be moving out of our current home state soon, due to better work opportunities for the both us, and will continue to cohabitate especially since we won't know anyone there. . .
Would I be able to get baptized? How long would the process take? Do I have to take classes for it? Would it help if we took a vow of abstinence till marriage since we will be living together?
(For extra context we are not getting married in a church, we found a beautiful outdoor venue, however it is a consideration of ours to have a Catholic priest marry us) Also, would we be able to recite our own vows if we were married by a catholic priest? (I've never been to a catholic wedding believe it or not lol)
