Hi! I am a Roman Catholic and my boyfriend is Armenian in the Apostolic Armenian Church. How can we get married, in the Armenian Church, without me converting?? Will my marriage be recognized in the catholic church and will I be excommuniated??

Thanx, Iz

As far as I know you must ask permission from your Bishop to get married outside the Church. Contact him to see what you must do and also talk to the Armenian priest about this. Also it is customary for a couple to get married at the woman's church. And I do know that there would probably be no problem with your Bishop then. I also highly doubt that you would be excommunicated. But again talk to your Bishop.
