Girls getting married in a Catholic Church....does anyone know?

Problem. I am not Catholic, FH is. We booked our church, All he needed from me was my baptism certificate. Well, my parents cannot find it in their house. I was definitely baptized, we have pictures to prove it lol. My parents were moving around this time soon after I was born so we think it may have gotten shoved somehwere it shouldn't have.

Ok, so we call up the church my brother and I were baptized in (my parents old church) to have them send us anothe copy and THEY can't find it. They couldn't find my brothers either, but then after a few days they found my brother's. Mine is still missing

So..... I don't know what to do!!!! I am afraid to call and ask. Our priest is very 'cool' and down to earth, do you think he will let me slide if I show him photos? Or is it a rule he can't bend? Will I have to get re-baptized, do they even let you do that?? Lol. I'm nervous, I love this church and I don't know what they are going to say.... does anyone know anything about this?

Well, do they remember the church you were Baptist?
If they do just go there and paid for a copy...it should only cost five dollars

SAME exact thing happened to me, im also not catholic but got married in a catholic church. They needed my baptismal certificate but it couldn't be found. The church also couldn't find it we had to prove it to the priest. WE brought in pics of me getting baptised in the church so they can see the priest who baptised me. They had to make up a new one for me

Hmmm.... we do have photos but I don't know if we have any of the actual action of me getting baptized, just afterward. Crap. I'll tell my mom to start pulling out the baby albums lol.

well looks like every church is different b/c only FH is catholic & all they required was for us to go to pre- cana. he had to bring the baptism certificate. i was lucky b/c if i had to get a baptism certificate- i would've had to get married at the hall

Ok- so there is hope maybe! Like I said our priest is pretty lax and he didn't seem to concerned with everything, FH had all his documents and he just said 'send me a copy of yours whenever.' so maybe we can work around it? Ahhh
