The standardization of the Catholic Church service, particularly the Mass, was significantly influenced by Pope Pius V in the 16th century following the Council of Trent (1545-1563). He issued the Roman Missal in 1570, which established the structure and content of the Mass for the Latin Church. This standardization aimed to unify the diverse practices within the Church and ensure consistency in worship. Over time, this Missal was further revised, but Pius V's version laid the foundation for the liturgical practices that followed.
The Mass is the central service of the Catholic Church. Nearly all services, such as weddings and funerals, are incorporated into a Mass.

The primary 'service,' if you want to call it that, is the Mass or Eucharist that forms the basis of nearly every 'service' in the Catholic Church, including weddings and funerals.

No, the person or couple needs to regularize their marriage in the Catholic Church. The Church does not recognize a civil marriage. Talk with the parish priest.
The Roman Catholic Church has a formal order of service for the everyday (Sunday and daily mass) and the special occasion (weddings and funerals). There is a set of readings in the "Ordo" for the daily readings with one Old Testament and one Gospel reading (with exceptions). Also the order of the mass is laid out in the Sacramentary, which has all the prayers and steps. This formal order stems from the early church. In the first hundred years after the Resurrection of Jesus, the Didache was used as a standardized order of service.

Roman Catholic AnswerNo, Church law requires that any marriage they perform be recognized in civil law. Please note that the "blessing service" mentioned below does not refer to a Catholic Church. AnswerAs an additional answer, in case the questioner is considering looking elsewhere other than the Catholic Church I know of no church whether Catholic or not that will perform such a service. One cannot be married in Church unless the marriage is also a legal occasion and recognised in civil law. However some denominations will provide a 'blessing' service but not a marriage.
