Do you have to be christened to get married in a church?

Answer 1

No, you can be baptized in another church, but will have to attend classes to be received into the Catholic Church

-----------------------------------All people validly baptised by water and by word are made Catholics. They are expected however to receive tuition in the faith of the apostles and to have this confirmed by a valid bishop.

Answer 2

Yes, a Catholic church is only to be used to perform the rites and witness a Catholic marriage. In order to receive a Catholic marriage, one must be a Catholic, which means you must be baptized and in communion with the Church. The Church believes that marriage is a sacrament, a bond that is formed between two baptized members of the Mystical Body. In rare occasions, when one party is Catholic but desires to marry one who is not, the Catholic party may apply for a dispensation. Dispensations are rare to receive - though in modern times, not as much as before - and our only granted if there is a danger of the Catholic leaving the Church. When the dispensation is granted, the non-Catholic party must agree to certain terms that give advantage to the Catholic religion, and then the marriage can go forward in a Catholic church. The nuptial blessing, however, will be withheld, as only a Catholic couple can receive it and it is at the priest's discretion where in the church the wedding will be held as well as how public it will be, since mixed marriages are not encouraged.

Answer 3

No that's not necessary. If one of the partner is not a Roman Catholic then too you can get married in Church but the matrimony wont be celebrated in mass and you need to promise that your children will be baptised and brought into faith.

This is how a non baptized person can get married in a Roman Catholic Church.

Answer 4

Sometimes - it depends on what the minister/vicar believes in. Some of them think it is okay, but others will not. However, The Bible does teach "Do not be joined with unbelievers", so if the other half is Christian, they aren't supposed to marry the non-Christian.

Answer 5

Yes, in most all Christian churches, you need to baptized to get married.
