no, you do not have to be Catholic as long as one of you are catholic.
Addition:
I'm not sure who left that last answer, but it's sadly inadequate.
Yes, you have to be confirmed in order to be married in the Catholic Church. However I have sometimes seen priests make exceptions for couples who are in the process of getting confirmed but who will not complete their confirmation classes before their wedding date.
The first person seems to have answered another question entirely, which is, can a catholic marry a non-catholic in a catholic church. The answer to that question is, yes it is possible, but you need to receive a special dispensation from the priest who is marrying you.
Both answers are wrong. Church Law does NOT require Confirmation for a Catholic to be married in a Catholic Church, though it is encouraged. Baptized Catholics have a right to a Church wedding, provided they have no impediments (prior marriage, etc). The Bishop is the only person who can deny someone a Catholic wedding. If a priest, on his own denies someone a wedding without valid reason, they need to be reported to their local diocese. Talk to a good priest and he will answer your questions. there are a lot of uninformed answers on this forum.

∙ 16y agoThe sacrament of Confirmation is neither necessary for salvation nor is it a prerequisite to being married. It is, however, highly advised to be confirmed for the added graces it bestows upon the soul.

∙ 15y agoThe answer is no. You do not need to be confirmed, but one of the spouses needs to be baptized Catholic and an active Catholic to be married in the church. If the other spouse is not Catholic, they simply require a dispensation to have a Catholic wedding Mass.

∙ 13y agoWhile strongly encouraged, Catholics do not have to make their Confirmation to be married in the Catholic Church.
To be married in a non catholic Church, Catholics do not need to make Confirmation, but need special permission to be married in a non catholic Church to be a valid Catholic marriage.

"If they can do so without serious inconvenience, Catholics who have not yet received the sacrament of confirmation are to receive it before being admitted to marriage." (Canon 1065)

Catholic AnswerRoman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church. Confirmation completes baptism, it is not strictly necessary for salvation, but it is stronglyrecommended as necessary for the grace to live an adult Christian life.Wiki User

Can an unconfirmed Catholic marry a confirmed Catholic in the church?
As a Catholic myself, the non- Catholic must first be baptized in the Catholic church in order to qualitify to marry in the church. Otherwise, I believe that is the church rules..AnswerYou have a couple questions here: 1) Normally, a Catholic may not marry a non-Catholic. To do so, one must obtain special, explicit permission from one's bishop. The permission required is different if the non-Catholic is a baptized Christian, or a non-baptized pagan.2) Normally, a Catholic *should* be confirmed before receiving the sacrament of matrimony. It is not an absolute rule, I'm not sure if you need a dispensation or not, but in the normal course of things, confirmation "completes" baptism, so your entry into the Church is not complete without confirmation.

I am a divorced Man and I am a practicing Catholic and was never married in the Catholic Church. Can I marry a practicing Catholic Woman who is a widow in the Catholic Church.?
Answer: The Catholic widow is free to marry. You are also free to marry in the Catholic Church. This is because your first marriage was not a Catholic one and, according to Church law, it should have been. It will be simple matter of speaking to your local pastor and filling out a form to be sent to the diocese.
