IM CATHOLIC BUT NOT BAPTIZE CAN I STILL GET MARRIED THROUGH CHURCH?

It varies from church to church.

FORUM ETIQUETTE (and friendly reminder): When you type a post in all capital letters you are going to annoy other forum users. Capital letters are viewed as shouting when communicating online, and its considered rude to do.

I've honestly never heard of this but agree with jlam that it varies. A lot of the "new-age" religions encourage baptism when the child can choose to do so. FH and I actually had this discussion when our daugther was born. I believe in baptism as a baby and he believes in baptism when the child decides they are ready to welcome God into their life and be his "child". I'd talk to your priest/pastor/etc. Good luck!

At most churchs that i've been to no, you don't have to be. But this question is best to asked to the church cause each church sadly have different rules. =) good luck

MIYA- KEEP YOUR FRIENDLY REMINDERS TO YOUR SELF....ITS MY PROFILE DONT NEED ANYBODY CORRECTING ME!!!

NICCI- MY PARENTS WERE THE SAME WAY MY MOTHER WAS CATHOLIC AND MY FATHER WAS CHRISTIAN, SO HES THE ONE WHO DECIDED TO WAIT.

THANK YOU ALL I WILL KEEP THAT IN MIND AND SPEAK TO A PRIEST

If your roman catholic then no you will need to get baptized, make communion and confirmed before you can get married .

All caps are often hard to read! you might want to think about that as well if you want our opinions then you need to accommodate and make it easy of us to ready your questions....

on the other hand I also agree with jlam most churches would prefer you to be Baptized to marry in there church but they dont judge either. Then agian you will run in to the really old fashioned preachers that dont want ladies to where pants or shorts at all, those tend to want you to be baptized and a member of the church before getting married in their church

There's no need to be rude. No one was being rude to you. They're both right; all caps is straining on the eyes and difficult to read. It comes across as shouting. While you are correct that you have every right to type in all caps on your profile, a public thread does not necessarily constitute as being "your property". We can avoid your profile easily enough if you're being snotty or if your typing style is offensive on the eyes. It's not so easy to ignore an all caps thread title. That's all. It's not a big deal, just please don't type in all caps anymore. =0)

Well said, Carmen. Also, Good morning! =)

On topic: From what I've noticed, it does depend on each church but I believe that Catholic's have some of the more 'strict' rules when it comes to getting married. Some need both families to be a member of the church, also, the engaged couple can not live together before the ceremony. Again, that varies, but I find it more common with the Catholic weddings. So, it's best to check with the church of your choice.

Futuremrswelch- yes i was born and raised in to a VERY Catholic family and getting married is a pain in the ass excuse my french. so much in fact were just going with the military justice of the peace thing . the catholic church wouldnt let me even be my cousins godmother because i hadn't been confirmed yet, they're kinda ridiculous haha

Morning! How ya doin'? *hijack*

Haha im fine how are you carmen??

SO IF IT BOTHERS U GUYS SO MUCH WHY BOTHER ON ON REPLYING?! LIKE I SAID ITS MY PAGE! TAKE IT HOW YOU WANT TO BUT I DONT LIKE ANYONE CORRECTING ME! SO PPL GET OFF MY PAGE IF YOU DONT LIKE MY TYPING!.....

I'm doing pretty good, Malabo. FH is on his way home from work and bringing home stuff to make his awesome stir fry for me. I'm excited.

Sweetheart, honestly no one is being rude to you, its just, typing in caps is meant as yelling so you basically come off as really loud and childish... just saying
