In most parishes that I know of you are required to talk to the priest at least six months before you want to schedule a wedding. I don't know if you have to go to marriage preparation that long, however. But, for certain it is more than one or two classes.

Why does the Catholic Church require confirmation before marriage?

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.
Can a divorced Catholic man marry to a Catholic convert woman in the Catholic church?
The answer depends upon whether the Catholic man's first marriage was canonically valid, and, if so, whether he has been granted an annulment. The marriage of a Catholic in a civil ceremony, for example, is not canonically valid in the eyes of the Church. In most cases, such a marriage would not require an annulment for a second marriage in the Church to take place. If, however, the first marriage was valid in the eyes of the Church, as for example, a Catholic wedding, then it will be necessary for the man's first marriage to be annuled before he can validly contract a second Catholic marriage.

How can you and your husband convert to the Catholic Church if he has been married before in a Methodist church?
Talk to the priest at your local Catholic church about having your husband's first marriage annulled. While the Catholic Church does not recognise civil divorce, it does offer annulments where it believes the circumstances are justified. Since the Catholic Church regards marriage as a binding commitment, an annulment has the effect of saying that, in the view of the Church, the marriage never really happened.

If you wish to be married in the Catholic Church and your first marriage was in the church, you will need to apply for an annulment (Catholic divorce) before you can remarry in the church. If you wish to marry in the protestant church, they do not have any laws that I know of that would prevent you from marrying in their church. If you have a civil marriage and no church marriage, then you can get married in the Catholic Church since civil marriages are not recognized as a holy sacrament and the covenant with God did not take place.
