I'm pretty sure you have to be confirmed in order to be married in a catholic church- you need to submit papers and everything.

As far as I know, you both need to be baptized, which is the case here. Plus, since your FH is confirmed, that should work in your favor. they recommend that you be confirmed.... so that you have all your sacraments before you receive another one (Marriage in this case! ) I would look into this a bit more.... they do interfaith marriages in Catholic Churches all the time, so I can't see how one of you who IS catholic, just not confirmed, couldn't get married there. Look into it...


Also, if you want to get confirmed, call your church and go through RCIA.... you would be confirmed next Easter, just in time for your wedding!

The only paper that they will ask for is the Baptismal Certifcate. When you meet with the priest, he will ask for the info. on your other sacraments (like where and when) but they only request to physically have a copy of the baptismal certificate.
