catholic weddings

actually, interfaith marriages are certainly allowed in roman catholic weddings (since you didn't specify, I'm assuming that's what you meant?), perhaps it was different pre-Vatican II and that's maybe what you're thinking of?? But for the last few decades it is not required for the non- catholic to convert, be baptised, or anything --- however, all couples that get married in the catholic church (interfaith or not) are required to go through a sort of pre-marital counseling. And lots of non-catholic couples who aren't getting married in the church choose to attend some of these weekend retreats because counseling before you get married is just a good idea! And anyway, I know you will get married in your faith and all, but just for the sake of clarification, if you were wanting to get married in the catholic church but were running into difficulties with it being interfaith, being married in an Episcopal chuch is not the same thing! Catholics recognize marriage as a sacrament and every time a member receives a sacrament, they receive grace , an Anglican church or Episcopal church, though the ritual may look the same, is pretty different.

I don't mean to be a know it all, but I am experiencing a reaffirmation in my faith after rejecting it in high school. I tend to get overly excited. *Sorry!*
