These classes are strongly encouraged. If not possible, many parishes offer alternate programs. You need good preparation for marriage. If not possible to take classes, contact your clergy for advice; you may still be able to marry.

Do priests have to be present at a Catholic wedding?
Church law requires Catholics to be married in the presence of a priest and two witnesses in order for the marriage to be valid. This is called "the canonical form of marriage". Catholics may receive a dispensation from their bishop from the canonical form. Without the dispensation, a marriage in any other form for Catholics would be considered invalid under Church law.

If you don't get confirmed when your in grade 8 can you still get married in a church?
Yes, you can still get married in a church even if you were not confirmed in grade 8. Confirmation is not a requirement for marriage within the Catholic Church. However, it is important to consult with the specific church and its requirements for marriage to ensure you meet all necessary criteria.
Do you have to be confirmed in a Catholic Church to marry a Catholic?
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.
Can we get married in a Catholic church even though I am a non - practicing Catholic and he was raised Protestant and our 2 yr old daughter isn't baptized?
Probably. The Catholic Church wants your family to be joined in a sacramental marriage and allows marriage between Catholics and non-Catholics. Because the Church recognizes the tremendous challenge that the interfaith couple will face, you may have to get permission from the bishop. Call your local parish and talk to the marriage coordinator or a priest.
What is the procedure of blessing a civil ceremony wedding in the Catholic Church?
If you are both Catholic and neither was married before you can go to the parish priest and have the marriage validated. You will need to show marriage license and records of baptisms as Catholics. Then you will promise to raise any children as Catholic, and make a permanent commitment for marriage. The blessing ceremony will be the same as a wedding ceremony. You will not be "remarried' but now married with the vows of the Catholic faith

While the church does not recognize a marriage of Catholics outside of the church to be a valid sacramental marriage, it does recognize civil marriages outside of the church to be valid. No priest should ever tell you that your baby is illegitimate.
