But im nervous about asking a local church to do our ceremony as I've not been in a long while :-S My h2b is catholic and comes from an Irish catholic background so would like a church ceremony as would I. has anyone had any experience with this? We moved a couple of months ago so I don't know anyone part of a local parish either. thank you ladies x

If you are both practising Catholics/Christians this shouldn't be a problem. Don't be nervous. I'd suggest you and h2B start attending your new local parish church, introduce yourselves to the Priest and after a few weeks speak to him bout having your wedding there. Do you have anything else booked? Are you tied to a particular date? The Church may only have certain dates available for the wedding (I got the last available Saturday in May next year for our RC church which was really lucky and we booked in February).
The Church is a welcoming place and if you're both practising the Priest will have no problems with acommodating you xx

Also hun, make sure you are having a Church ceremony for the right reasons ...............because you want the marriage blessed by God (sounds like you do want to for religious reasons from your post).
If it's an RC Church you will have to attend marriage preparation classes too. If you're not Catholic then the parish priest will need to get dispensation from the bishop - this shouldn't be a probelm, H2B isn't Catholic, he's Methodist, so we have to apply for dispensation so I can marry a non-Catholic.
Are you baptised? You'll need to provide your baptism certificate when the paperwork is done.
Good luck in taking that first step! xx

Do you want a catholic or CofE ceremony?
My H2B is catholic and I'm not anything (I'm not batised or christened) and we are getting married in our CofE church. As we both live in the parish there hasn't been any problems at all and it didn't matter than neither of us go to church.

Thank you, sorry for being vague with the details, we want to do this right, right for us not everyone else, h2b is c of e so we will look for a local church and talk to them asap. If not then the venue does allow civil ceremonies xx

C of E you shouldn't have any problems, especially if you are religious.... neither me nor H2B are in the slightest religious so are having a civil ceremony at our venue as I don't agree with getting married in a church for the wrong reasons but when we went to a fair a priest was trying to convince us to get married in the church despite me explaining several times why we weren't! Crazy!

My Mr and I had been married before and we had to go for a kind of interview with him. He asked us some personal questions and wanted to know about us. He is very happy to marry us in church. So just go and speak to him and see what he says. He either can say yes or no.
