But person who is actually confirming cannot be sponsor as he cannot anoint and sponsor at same time; but I am sure it can be worked out.

Does a cathloic have marry in a church?
There are two answers to this question: If you mean does a catholic have to marry in a physical church, the answer is no. As long as a Catholic priest is officiating the ceremony and there are two witnesses (besides the couple themselves) then a Catholic may wed somewhere besides a church. There is also another way this question is asked: some may say that they are getting married "in the Church" (notice the capital "C"), which is an expression of speech meaning that a Catholic is getting married according to the rites and rules of the Catholic religion. So if this question is being asked in that sense, then yes, a Catholic must marry "in the Church", otherwise the marriage is not considered morally valid.
