∙ 13y agoYes you can, although it is not normally necessary to do so. if you were married in a civil ceremony and want to be married "in the Catholic Church", you cannot have another marriage ceremony but you can arrange a ceremony to have your marriage blessed.
Be aware though, that you will still be required to follow all Church requirements and that you might be prohibited from a sacramental marriage if you have an impediment. Please see your local parish marriage director for specific information.

It does not matter where a marriage happens. If a person goes though a marriage ceremony with someone when they are already legally married to someone else, then the second marriage ceremony is not legally valid and you are not married. The person who is already married is also committing a crime. So the answer is - No you are not married.
