Yes but the ground has to be consecrated. ____________________ I doubt the consecrated ground part. It would be hard for me to believe (or to tolerate) that a Catholic priest would not be allowed to officiate at a home wedding because the ground is not consecrated.

∙ 13y agoUsually not. However, there are exceptions if one of the couples is not Christian, and out of respect of his or her religion, such as Jewish. This could happen, if the non catholic party witnesses the oath of the catholic party to bring children up as catholic. You would need to contact the parish clergy for specifics

Can a Catholic priest bless a marriage after an Episcopal ceremony?
If the marriage was done by Episcopal minister and not in the presence of a Catholic priest, or without approval of the Catholic Church, then, no, it cannot be blessed as the Catholic Church recognizes the episcopal marriage as valid.Catholic AnswerIf either of the parties involved in the Episcopal marriage ceremony were Catholic, then they are not married until such time as they get married before a priest in a Catholic Church as Canon Law requires that the marriage of a baptized (or converted) Catholic be before a priest or deacon. So it is not a question of a priest "blessing" a marriage (although this is a common term for a marriage in a Catholic Church following a civil marriage or any other religion) but of actually performing the wedding. They would have to apply to their priest and go through the normal preparation for marriage, including permission to marry a non-Catholic; and, of course, they would have to be in a state of grace; which would mean that the Catholic party would have to repent of the attempted marriage outside the Church in confession and be forgiven. Also, they should live as brother and sister until such time as the marriage is performed by a priest. They would need to speak to a priest right away.
