My fiance and I are making plans for our wedding and he would like to get married in a Catholic Church if possible. However, there are a few issues that may prevent this from happening:

1. He is divorced - he got married to his former wife in a Mormon church, but he is a life-long Catholic.

2. I was raised Catholic, but am no longer a practicing member of the Catholic church.

I do not have a preference either way (married in or out of the church), but because he would like to, I wanted to know if it was at all possible. Any information you can provide is appreciated.

Best person to ask is your local Priest. His first marriage might cause a slight delay, but because it was in a non-christian church, I don't know the rule.

Congratz on your pending marriage.

I know this is beyond the scope of your question, but why don't you care? What is it about the Catholic church that repells you?

Thanks for the info - I will let my fiance know.

And thank you for the congratulatory remarks.

It's not that I don't care - I just have no preference either way. As for what "repells" me about the Catholic church, I prefer not to discuss that with someone who is Catholic. My mother and I have already had that conversation too many times and she has never been able to convince me that my disenchantment with the Catholic church is unfounded.

If we can do anything to help you, please let us know. As for talking to a CATHOLIC I understand. I felt the same way before I converted. I have probably dealt with some of the same issues you have. Don't get me wrong, just trying to help.

Blessings to the two of you.
