Hi, I was wondering if you could get married by a Catholic Priest outside the Catholic Church? I heard some of the brides here talk about it, but really didn't understand. My FI and I are getting married where the reception will be held. We are both Catholic, and wanted to get married as Catholics, but when I found out how much you have to do in order to get married in the church, we decided not to. We are not practicing Catholics, but wanted to get married in the Church. But being, I never made my Communion or Confirmation, us not having a church we belong to, and living in NC not NY, is making it quite difficult. If you or anyone else has any other suggestions, that would be great! Thanks again!

From what I've heard most Catholic Priests (atleast in NY) will not marry you outside the church. It doesn't mean you can't have a religious wedding. I was raised Catholic but my fiance was not raised with any relgious background. We are getting married in a Lutheran Church. But our wedding will not be recognized in the Catholic Church.

I also live in NC. Think I ran into one of your posts before. Where in NC? I'm in Raleigh.

Hi, Thanks for the info.
Yeah we did run into each other in another post. I live in Wake Forest. Not far at all! When is your wedding? What vendors are you using???

It really depends on the parish. My fiance has to be confirmed before we get married, we have met with our priest about 6 times already with more to come plus we went to pre-cana. AND, it is $500 to get married, which includes 1 singer and organ, and additional fees for additional instruments, singers, etc.

Hi Carrie, How do you go about precana out of state? Don't you need to be a registered parishoner to get married in the church??? We don't have a church here or in NY? What church are you associated with? Thanks!

Hi Mary, Thanks for the info! How do you go about getting Confirmed befored getting married? It can't be the same as when your 13? Is it a few minute thing or a whole afternoon? The only reason I ask is that a while ago someone told me that you do it right before you get married, and it only takes a few minutes. I don't know? What church do you belong to?

My church is in Brooklyn and that is where my fiance is being confirmed. My fiance has to go to classes, 1 hr a week for 6 weeks. He will be confirmed in the church at a mass (not sure if it is with the 13 year olds or not). Our priest told us about the classes.

Hi, that's funny, I believe that's the Catholic Church I attended for Kindergarten and 1st grade, and was Baptised at! :) I never made my Communion or Confirmation though? How do you go about having your marriage blessed outside the church? Thanks!

Chevaliers de Notre Dame

Hey, thanks for the information!!! It helps a lot! Where did you hear of them? Have you already met with them? Also, this is really bad... I should know this... what do they do during the ceremony? Well, do they go through the whole Catholic ceremony, or a shortened version??? Thanks again!
