No, you need to hold a wedding ceremony before the Church considers a couple to be married.
Getting married in a court of law is referred to as a Civil Ceremony as opposed to a Church Ceremony. And a marriage is a marriage - whether it's in a church or in a judge's chambers.
Yes, because in the eyes of the Lord, they are not married. They are allowed to get married in a church, but only once, if it is in a Catholic church. --> See Catholism
To legally marry, you must meet the requirements of the country/state that you get married in. Most places require that you obtain a marriage license through the court house and have the ceremony performed by an authorized individual. Once they have solemnized the ceremony, they document it on the license and it is returned to the court, who will then issue a marriage certificate. Anything else is not considered a legal marriage.
The Catholic Church does not require a blood test. The people that issue marriage licenses may require a blood test, regardless of what church you are getting married in.
No. They married in a ceremony at a hotel in Southern California, on December 5, 2003.
If a person is legally married, the person can have a religious wedding ceremony. Some people become legally married before the ceremony, and some people renew vows in a ceremony after years of marriage.
From another questions........yes, no problem. the court marriage is a civil ceremony, and considered legally binding, should you then choose to marry in a church so as to have the "blessing of your faith" then by all means do so
Roman Catholic AnswerNo, there is no such ceremony or procedure. Anyone who is validly married to a living spouse is incapable of remarriage in the Church. You may be thinking of an annulment which is a decree of nullity (a statement that no marriage exists - thus allowing a marriage of someone who had been married in the eyes of the state but not in the eyes of the Church). There is certainly no ceremony connected with an annulment.
you only get married once... what do you meanNo you can only get married one time. unless you get that marriage annulled.Answer: Obviously you can only be in one church at once but you can have both priests perform the ceremony.
Rachel Carson got married at a small ceremony at the Lutheran Church in Silver Spring, Maryland, on July 4, 1936.
You can arrange to have a religious ceremony to bless your marriage. Be prepared to show a copy of your marriage license and be sure to tell the cleric that you were already married in a civil ceremony.
yes, but they will have to go through their priest to nullify the marriage due to improper form
