I don’t know if both have to be baptized or not, but since marriage is a sacrament (means of grace, basically) I’d reckon so. Though I don’t know if both have to be baptized into the Catholic church.
Often the nuptial mass includes Holy Communion, a lot of prayer, some music, scripture readings, and a homily by the priest. Sometimes these weddings can be done by a deacon, but, in which case there would not be a celebration of Holy Communion.
You will need to go to pre-marriage counseling. Typically the engagement period is “supposed” to be at least a year, though I’ve known others who have done it in less. (Though in those cases, I believe a baby was on the way…) At counseling you’ll talk about why you want to get married, how you plot on living your lives together, what you will do about children (and sex), and you’ll discuss things that might help out in your future married life. Often there is a quiz/inventory that both people will take to provide a sort of starting ground.
Much of the service is often done by memory by the people gathered, so I’d encourage you to find a way to familiarize yourself with it as best as you can. You might want to talk with her priest (or a priest, period) to get more information. They’re used to explaining these things and are often very excellent at walking people through all the things that happen. They can also respond to whatever questions might come up as you get more answers.
I hope that helps! Best of luck!
I am sorry to say that you have gotten a lot of terrible info above. One, not both, bride or groom must be Catholic. Both do not have to be baptized to get married, much less engaged. You will have to meet with a priest at least once before getting married. Nearly all couples must go through pre-marital counseling and/or classes, usually this is a one Saturday class. When my wife and I got married the priest did not make us go, I still do not know why. In order to get married in the Catholic church you must agree to accept children if God gives them to you and you must agree to raise the children Catholic. There are a few other things you must agree to, I do not remember exatly, these were the biggies. The church does not allow divorce or remarriage. If the priest has not known you for all/most of your life, he might question for two family members or life-long friends to talk to the priest to confirm that you are not married, have never been married, have never been divorced etc. This is no huge deal, someone has to go talk to the priest for five or ten minutes. My father and sister did this for me, my mother-in-law and friend did this for my wife. Catholic weddings must be held in a Catholic church, sorry so parks or beachfronts. Besides saying “that’s the rules” I do not exactly know why.
There are some other requirements, this will certainly get you started. If you have any other questions feel free to e-mail me. Someone at you local church will also be able to help.
Congratulations and excellent luck.
Yes, if you are getting married in the catholic church you must be baptized which means you must be baptized catholic. I had a catholic wedding, but I had a traditional Mexican catholic wedding. Nothing is required but we always have our traditions. We had Padrinos or sponsors kind of like godparents for rings, coins, lazo, Bouquet for the Virgin, rosary and bible, and unity candles. We had to go to marriage classes before the priest would marry us and they were very helpful classes. I guess there is more to a catholic wedding, but I really need to know what you want to know. How about you email me with your questions and I will do my best to answer them. But remember the most vital thing in a catholic marriage is that you are being united under the blessing of our Lord and you need to know that this marriage is going to last forever and you have to learn to make it work and you have to do your best to live a christian lifestyle.
