Roman Catholic Weddings

Arrange a meeting with priest six months before the wedding day.

1- If you and your partner have been baptized and or confirmed then take your certificates.
2- If one of you have not been baptized the priest will need to give his permission for you to marry in his church.
3- You might have to attend church for at least six Sundays before the wedding date.
4- The priest might ask that the bride and groom attend marriage preparation meetings.
5- Because Roman Catholicism is not the state religion in England and Wales you will have to see the superintendent

Registrar in your area and get a licence to marry.

Remarriages can only take place if the partner of the first marriage is deceased or if the marriage was annulled.
