whatever you can afford. No priest should demand a certain fee.
Of course you can. No one would ever try and stop you althoug the priest might not come if it wasn't a catholic wedding.
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.
Yes, the bridal party (groomsmen, bridesmaids) do not have to be Lutheran.Roman Catholic AnswerYou need to speak with your pastor, your priest about this. If either of the people getting married is Catholic then they must get married before a priest. If both of them are protestant, then there is nothing wrong with the wedding, but whether a Catholic may participate in a non-Catholic wedding as an official witness, that you would have to ask your priest.
Only if the propere paper work is filled out validating the marriage as catholic; otherwise, no.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe best person to ask would be your priest or the secretary at your local Catholic Church.
Roman Catholic AnswerTo schedule a wedding, you must contact the pastor of your home parish. It takes a while, they have to get new copies of your baptismal certificate, and your intended, you have to go through six months of pre-Cana conferences, and then you talk to your priest about scheduling the wedding.
*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.
Roman Catholic AnswerIn the Catholic Church, the pastor is the priest in charge of a particular parish. Outside of particular circumstances, the pastor would be the ordinary person who would perform a wedding.
Regardless of who they are marrying, Catholics are obligated by their religion to be married in a Catholic Church by a Catholic priest.
In the Catholic church, a celebrant is one who celebrates a sacrament. In a wedding, this would be the priest because he is the one authorized to perform the marriage.
yes as long as your not the bride or groomANSWER: MAYBE. If a Catholic priest is a celebrant along w/the protestant minister, then Yes. If not, then actually no. . .b/c the Catholic is committing a grave sin by marrying a non-catholic in a non-catholic church w/out the consent/participation/BLESSING of his/her OWN church -- the Catholic Church. Need to talk w/a catholic priest and or diocese.
(Since the questioner placed the question in the Catholiccategory, I will limit the scope of my answer to Catholic wedding ceremonies.) In many dioceses, permanent deacons regularly conduct Catholic marriage ceremonies, without, of course, the Nuptial Mass, which only a priest may celebrate. In dioceses with few priests the local bishop has delegated members of religious communites to conduct Catholic weddings.
