What is a sacrament in the Lutheran church?
Lutheranism is not dogmatic about the number of sacraments. Baptism and Holy Communion are clearly held as sacraments by formal Lutheran teaching. So, Lutherans often refer to the "two sacraments." Traditionally however, Lutherans often refer to "Confession and Abolution" as "the third sacrament" whether or not it is clearly defined in Lutheran symbolical writings as a sacrament. Despite the common moniker "third sacrament," some Lutheran bodies actually consider it a sacrament and some simply use it to acknowledge it's 'divine mandate combined with temporal means' which is part of the definition of a sacrament according to many historic Christian communities.

Can a Lutheran wedding be blessed by the Catholic Church?
The Catholic Church can and does perform marriages for a Catholic and a non-Catholic (mixed marriages). Generally, Lutheran weddings are left to be performed by Lutheran pastors, though..Catholic AnswerI think what you are asking is can a wedding that took place in a Lutheran Church be blessed by a priest in the Catholic Church. I teach in the RCIA and we have many people coming into the Church whose marriages are in questionable circumstances - as far as the Church is concerned. Marriage is a sacrament, and can only be validly celebrated by two baptized individuals of the opposite sex who are both eligible to marry. A Lutheran wedding between two baptized protestants would be a valid marriage. When someone is converting to the Catholic Church and already married, in whatever circumstances, in most cases, they must be married again before a priest to validly enact the sacrament. Lay folk often refer to this a having the "marriage blessed by a priest" (or the Catholic Church).
