And my brother and sister in law were married by a priest in a park (outdoor ceremonies are supposed to be a big Catholic no-no).
Both of my kids are late December babies, and Lent started in February. Had to plan around my moms work schedule, plus Godparents schedule (we live 2-4 hours away from all of our family), and our church wouldn't do more than 4 on a Sunday. Which put us into Lent, and therefore after Lent. Both kids were about 4 months. No biggie.

The outside the church thing typically comes down to the bishop. So of course if the bishop's less particular he grants more permissions.
