Yes it does. If, for example, you were married in a civil ceremony, the Church does not recognize that as sacramental matrimony and you must 'regularize' that marriage with the Church by confirming your wedding vows before a priest or a deacon.
Some couples who have been validly married in the Church for many years will renew their wedding vows also, even though they have been validly married for years.
Assuming no divorce has taken place, which would require an annulment, yes, if you have changed from Orthodox to Catholic it would be possible to renew your wedding vows in a Catholic Church. There would be no need for a full blown wedding, however, as the Catholic Church does accept the sacraments of the Orthodox Church as valid.
Yes. Marriages can be witnessed by the Church in any Liturgical season.
Yes, as long as she does not choose a Catholic Church. She will have to find a church that will perform an interdenominational wedding of divorced persons. The Catholic Church will not.
Regardless of who they are marrying, Catholics are obligated by their religion to be married in a Catholic Church by a Catholic priest.
*If you are not a Catholic, you cannot be married by a Catholic priest or in a Catholic church. * You need to check that answer above because i don't think you are right. Non Catholics can get married in the Catholic Church. One partner has to be a Catholic and the other should be a baptised Christian but ideally the couple should contact their local priest.
Yes, not only must they take a class, but the Catholic must receive special permission (which is not always given) from the Bishop to have a wedding outside of a Catholic Church. Even if it is outside a Catholic Church, the wedding must still be witnessed by a Catholic priest (deacon, or bishop) or it is not valid.
In a Catholic Church.
Yes, but only if the partner is Catholic and the non-Catholic agrees to raising the children as Catholic; in other words, at least one of the pair getting married must be Catholic, and it must be a Catholic wedding, approved by the pastor and the Bishop.
You can only get married in a Catholic Church when the union is not contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Yes, a Priest can perform a legal wedding if both parties are Catholic. If one is not then they may have some red tape to go through in order to be married in a Catholic Church.
No, a Catholic wedding is a sacrament and, by canon law, must be celebrated in a Church that has been consecrated by a Catholic Bishop.
