What regulations is there to get married by a catholic church?

For example, what is required in order to get married by church. Does it matter how long you've been together? How long do you have to assist to the classes ?, etc.





please help me out.What regulations is there to get married by a catholic church?
Specific requirements vary by diocese, but generally:





At least one of the couple must be Catholic





The couple has to meet with the priest for counseling





The couple has to provide documentation of any sacraments they have received.





The couple has to prove that neither of them have been married before, or, if they have, proof that a decree of nullity has been issued.





The couple may or may not have to attend a series of classes with other couples or one weekend retreat with other couples (crash course).





The couple may or may not be asked to attend RCIA courses as a ';refresher'; on Catholicism (or information for a non-Catholic partner).





Most parishes also have a packet of practical wedding information, covering things like candles, singers, organists, Scripture selections, clothing, etc. What regulations is there to get married by a catholic church?
You do need the classes, that is a definite....but the classes (how many you must attend, the length of them) may differ from diocese to diocese. It does not matter how long you have been together, but it does matter to them how you interact during the meetings/classes. My dad got converted into Catholicism from being Methodist right before my parents got married, but that is (obviously) not required. Good luck!! :)
You have to attend precana which takes 1 day or 3 visits which ever th program is in your area, you have to book the church first talk to the priest. The nuptils have to announced three Sunday's before the ceremony. How long you been together doesn't matter as long as you are sure this is what you want. You don't get married and decide to end it because you don't like the way he eats, or throws his dirty laundry around. It's a life long commitment. So in your heart this is what you really want in a person and then go for it.God Bless you.
Well, I think there are too many. If I were you I would get married in a regular church. Remember Gods church isnt a building its the people. If I were you and Im not, I would marry on the beach or someplace unique. Churches are just too expensive and too restrictive nowadays. The wedding is between you, your husband and God no matter where you get married. God bless and I hope the best!
In order to get married in the Catholic Church, at least one of you has to be Catholic and the other person must at least be baptized.





You have to attend pre-cana classes and most parishes require NFP classes as well.





You must be open to life (no artificial birth control).
you have to take classes together so you can learn more about each other than you already know, attend the Catholic Engaged Encounter Weekend which is a weekend of workshops on how to solve problems that may arrive in marriage and after that you can get married at any time.
Not all parishes have the same requirements. The classes usually last about 6 months I think. I don't think there is a set time on how long you have been together, but the priest may make a suggestion that you wait awhile if you haven't known each other for very long. Hope this helps.





God bless,

I believe the Catholic CHurch has you attend marriage classes, and promise to raise the Children of the Marriage Catholic, and at least one of the partners has to be Catholic.. I do not believe their is any time limit to an engagement.
it depends on the priest
