Catholic AnswerMarriage between a Catholic and a baptized non-Catholic is called a mixed marriage. Marriage between a Catholic and a non-baptized person is called disparity of cult. It requires particular attention on the part of the couples and their pastors. Basically, it requires express permission from your bishop. You should talk to your pastor as soon as possible about this. If he approves, then he can get the proper forms submitted to the Chancery for the Bishop's permission. The following is the relevant paragraph from the Catechism.

from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994

1635 According to the law in force in the Latin Church, a mixed marriage needs for liceity the express permission of ecclesiastical authority. (Cf. Codex Iuris Canonici, canon 1124) In case of disparity of cult an express dispensation from this impediment is required for the validity of the marriage. (CF Codex Iuris Canonici, canon 1086) This permission or dispensation presupposes that both parties know and do not exclude the essential ends and properties of marriage; and furthermore that the Catholic party confirms the obligations, which have been made known to the non-Catholic party, of preserving his or her own faith and ensuring the baptism and education of the children in the Catholic Church. (Cf. Codex Iuris Canonici, canon 1125.

What is Catholic dispensation?

A dispensation is a granted exception from the rules. In matters of discipline (not doctrine) a priest, bishop or the pope can grant a dispensation. To give some examples: A priest can grant someone a dispensation to miss mass on a given Sunday. A bishop can grant someone a dispensation to marry outside of the church. The pope can grant a dispensation allowing someone to be ordained a priest without first attending seminary school. This is not to be confused with doctrine. There is no such thing as a dispensation excusing someone from doctrine. For instance, the pope can't grant someone a dispensation to commit adultery. This is because it goes against the Church's doctrine, and everyone must follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.
