Ceremony: Christian wedding in a Catholic church?

Unfortunately if he wants you to be married in a catholic church, your FH will have to do his sacraments including Confirmation which essentially means that he will have to convert. Is your dad opposed to having the wedding ceremony the church that you currently attend?

View Quoted Comment My fiancé and I are currently in a long distance relationship. He is in Pennsylvania and I am in Connecticut. Our wedding will take place in Connecticut but the church I currently attend is a more modern church so it’s not a fancy church like a Catholic Church. My father has made it very clear that he wants it in a Catholic Church.. even though both my fiancé and I are Christian

Sorry dad but neither of you are Catholic so that's the end. A Catholic church will not marry two non catholic people. I would nicely tell your father it cannot happen.

Catholic is Christian it's just Protestant Christian where as Catholics of course aren't protestant. Very few Catholics churches will marry you in the Catholic Church if you aren't Catholics and the ones that will very likely are no longer connected to the Catholic Church. I am sorry about your situation.

I am confused. Christianity is divided into two main branches, Catholic and Protestant. So, Catholics ARE Christians. Maybe you mean you converted to a branch of Protestant? If you are a Catholic, you can be married in a Catholic Church, even if your FH is not Catholic. However, if you do not want to be married in a Catholic Church, you will probably be able to find a Church that will allow a different Officiant than their main one, I have heard of this happening. You will just need to contact various churches and ask. Also, speak with your uncle about what guidelines he may have. For example, I do not believe he can perform an outdoor ceremony.

Actually not true! I initially thought this too as my fiance and I are both Catholic - we met with the Catholic priest last week and he told us they would still marry a Catholic and non-Catholic, there is just additional steps in the process and paperwork.
