Generally this is not allowed, as the Orthodox Church only accepts marriage between Orthodox Christians as the correct way. However, especially in Western countries, some Orthodox Churches will allow a mixed marriage to take place, for example between an Orthodox and a Catholic or Protestant, so long as the couple agree to baptize and raise any children in the Orthodox Faith.

∙ 14y agoNo, they can attend but not participate in the wedding service, as this can only be done by an Orthodox priest. The Orthodox Church is not in communion with the Protestant or Catholic faiths, therefore ministers or priests from other faiths cannot participate in an ecclesiastical way, but they can attend the wedding ceremony as guests.

∙ 13y agoMost likely. Marriages between a Catholic and a baptized Christian are considered sacramental just as if two Catholics were married to each other. To marry outside the Church in another Christian church requires special permission of your Bishop. It can be acquired by first talking with your priest and is not an especially difficult thing to obtain.

Can macedonian orthodox marry in greek orthodox?
Macedonian orthodox like Athenian orthodox and Thessalian, Epirotian, Thracian orthodox can all marry in the Greek Orthodox Church no matter where in Greece they hail from. The foreign church of the Former Yugoslav Republic is a schismatic church and not recognized by the ecumenical patriarchy of Constantinople as an orthodox church. Therefore no Greek, whether Macedonian, Athenian, Thessalian etc can marry in the church of the former Yugoslav Republic but the various ethnicities of the Former Yugoslav Republic who follow their Christian church can marry in a Greek Orthodox Church.

A Catholic can marry any non- Catholic, and it is recognized as a sacrament in the Catholic church. Only when the individual has been previously married there is an issue. In which case that individual must have their previous marriage annuled. The Catholic church permits Catholics to marry in the Orthodox church and it is a sacrament. I have spoken to Catholic priests and Catholic Bishops and they do not see a problem with a Greek annulment, as being an impediment. If that individual did not have their marriage previously annulled than it would be an issue.
