Hi everyone,
My fiance and I were both baptized Catholic and practiced Catholic including First Holy Communion, Confirmation, went to Church every Saturday, etc. However, we are no longer "practicing" Catholics in that sense. We both still believe in the faith, but not all of the man made rules and regulations...whole other issue.
We are getting married next year...having an outdoor wedding ceremony and our officiant is Tom''s friend of many, many years who is a Lutheran Minister. Does any one know anything about the premarital counseling issue? I know as Catholics getting married in a Church we would have been required to attend several weeks of Pre Caina (have no idea if that is even spelled correctly) classes. However, we do not know if that is something required of all religions and if it is even required at all when not getting married in a Church.
Can any one shed some light on the subject? Thanks!
