Repost: Catholic Brides

Morning Ladies,


We are having a DW in Ireland- just spoke to the Priest and he said I have to go to my Priest here and fill out some forms. I am wondering if any of you had to fill out:


1- Letter of Freedom

2- Pre-nuptial Enquiry Form

TIA Ladies

These are pretty easy - don't be intimidated!

This is the way I understood these two:

The letter of freedom simply stipulates that you are 'free' to marry in the Catholic Church (meaning you have been baptized and have not been married before) If you were married before, then they need to document the anullment/death of spouse.

The inquiry thing is a sort of application that you both are agreeing to marry before God and the Catholic Church and that you will raise your children Catholic. It asks questions about each of you, your parents, place of baptism/christening, if you're related (no joke!) and basic questions such as address, phone #.

These two things are submitted to the Diocese and when you complete Pre-Cana the Church allows you to schedule your ceremony/wedding!

Good luck. I hope this helps!
ps just got back from Ireland for a vacation! Where will you be getting married? If FMIL hadn't had a problem with it, FH and I totally would have married there!

We had to do both. It's just a few easy questions.
