Both my fiance and I were both raised catholic up to confirmation, We have been out of the church since then I attend church for all Holidays as well as my fiance. We just had a baby and are not married we really want to get married but have been told by his mother that in order to get married in the church I cannot have a wedding gown that is white or any sort of train. we also cannot have any one else in our wedding party on top of that we are allowed only family to attend. Is this True?? Please help me understand the catholic marriage ceremony in our cituation. We need all the help we can get.

Thank you! Andrea

Dear Andrea,

No, this is not true. There are no such rules. Talk to your priest about arranging your wedding.
