Nov 30, 2016 at 17:39 comment added eques You can also get a dispensation of form to get married according to non-Catholic rite (which could include outdoor ceremonies if the religion of the non-Catholic spouse permits it routinely)
Nov 30, 2016 at 11:22 comment added Matt Gutting @AthanasiusOfAlex understood, which is why I said there may be either that or a mixed marriage (though I have probably forgotten the term; I had meant a marriage between a Catholic and a baptized Christian non-Catholic). Either way there's another step to be gone through.
Nov 30, 2016 at 7:09 comment added AthanasiusOfAlex @MattGutting There is only disparity of cult (and a need for dispensation) if the non-Catholic party is non-baptized. (You do need a permission to marry a non-Catholic Christian, but not obtaining one does not affect validity.)
Nov 29, 2016 at 19:58 comment added KorvinStarmast I think the second part of his question may need more clarity in your answer, in terms of "the diocese in which the marriage is to take place" seems to fit the rules you cited from Canon Law.
Nov 29, 2016 at 19:57 comment added KorvinStarmast @MattGutting I'd say it answers the question in terms of what the "official rules" are, and it matches my comment on communicating with the clergy in that diocese to find out what the bishop in that diocese allows or prefers.
Nov 29, 2016 at 19:39 comment added Geremia @MattGutting It seems §1 covers that (at least implicitly).
Nov 29, 2016 at 18:50 comment added Matt Gutting However (even though the questioner doesn't specifically ask this) it's also clear that only one party is Catholic; there's also the impediment of disparity of cult or at least mixed marriage. Since the question is "What do they need to do to have this marriage recognized by the Church?", should this be mentioned?
