Marrying abroad

I'd start by talking to your local priest. He can likely give you some idea on what the church's rules are on getting married in a foreign country, and also on what German churches might be open to it. And unless you want the ceremony in German, you'd have to figure out whether there are English-speaking priests you could use.

Also, you'll need to research the German requirements. Germany doesn't recognize a religious marriage, so you'd need to have a civil wedding first. You'd have to figure out the mechanics of getting a marriage license and having a civil ceremony before your Catholic ceremony.
