Help...

I'm going to try to keep this brief as I could drone on and on.

H2B is Catholic. I'm protestant.
Wedding reception is in Troon, therefore I want to get married in Troon.
Local priest has told us a catholic wedding is pretty much out the question as it is outwith our diaoces, and neither famillies are from Troon - just liked the hotel.
We can get married in a Church of Scotland with my dad's cousin as our minister.
H2B is concerned this could affect having kids christened in the catholic church in later years, as it's important to him to raise kids this way, and too be honest i'm not particulary religious so it doesn't bother me.

I've had lots of mixed answers about this, as I know if you are married outwith the catholic church you are deemed as not married to them. Has anyone had any dealings with these issues before? And do you know if it would pose any problems for children?

Thanks :-)

did want to read and run... I have no idea... soz but good luck with it... x

Oh my word, I really don't know what to say other than sit and talk to your hubby, ask him how important it is that his children grow up in the Catholic church, ask him if he minds not being seen as married in the eyes of his church/religion - that doesn't bother some people as marriage is a commitment from the heart but for some it really irks them if their church won't consider you married. If either of those things are important to him but doesn't really bother you then I'd say compromise and have a Catholic service within your diocese, but that's just my personal views.

Ross is an Atheist and I denounced my Methodism but for some reason I really feel the need to get married 'In the eyes of God' so to speak, because Ross had no real opinion on it he compromised and said we could do it in Church. Not sure if that helps at all though

i hope you come up with an anwer hun, didn;t want to read and run

Yes you can..........You can get married in a non catholic church and still baptise your children catholic, i know this for a fact as my cousin married his wife in a coe yet he is cathoic and they christened the kids catholic!
I also have the same prob with wanting to marry in a catholic church and not living in that area so hence civil wedding for me!

Thank you all for your help :-)

Just another reason why this forum is fab!! hehe xx
