Is it possible to get married in a Catholic Church if you have not done your First Communion?
One spouse must be Catholic. Here's the reason why: According to Catholic doctrine, the couple, not the priest, performs the actual sacramental marriage. The priest is the witness. The state is the official "recognizer" or witness of a marriage. This is why everyone has to obtain a marriage license before marrying and why many people choose to marry in front of a judge or justice of the peace as officers of the state or county. Legally, in every state, a person's pastor (of any religion) can witness the marriage on behalf of the state as long as he is really their pastor. There is a lot of liberty taken with this. Usually a Catholic priest will not wittness the marriage of TWO people who are both non-Catholics--- because he is not their pastor--- but he WILL witness the marriage of a couple where only one is Catholic, as long as both are canonnically free to marry.:EDIT: Also, you need a dispensation from the Church, which will allow you to have a Catholic wedding with a Catholic person if you are not Catholic. This is making sure that the children will be baptized and taught in the Catholic faith, and that no efforts will be made to try to raise the children in another religion.
