Don't bother. We recently inquired in Manchester about a similar situation and the answer is, if you want to be married "in the church" you literally have to be in the church. We were, however, offered the use of a church even though neither party is a member. A lot of Catholic churches won't do that.

My favorite was when my wife I went to the church she was baptised and confirmed in the preist said we have no record of your attendance. I looked him straight in the eye and said we put cash in the basket. We found a more reasonable Catholic Church to marry us. And thatw as 21 wonderful years ago.

Thank you so much for the replies to our posting. I showed them to my son who appreciated all the information the forum supplied to us. Also I was mistaken, my son said they would have no problem at all going to whatever pre cana meetings that would be required (my bad). thanks again
