I am mormon, and most of my relatives on my mothers side are catholic. We get along great, and share quite a bit in common. As with any church, the LDS (mormon) church suggests that you marry within your own faith. It just seems to make things a lot easier for both people involved.
So does the Mormon church forbid it? No, but the Church encourages its members to marry within the Church. This is sound advice in general, for the more a married couple have in common, the more likely their marriage will be successful. When a couple disagrees on basic core values and beliefs, it can lead to additional stress, conflicts, and disappointment. The issue of how kids are raised can be especially problematic. Naturally, the Church hopes they will be raised LDS. We believe that the Lord wants children to be raised with the truth of the Gospel.
Some of the greatest blessings of the Gospel are available to married couples who both live the Gospel and are willing to receive sacred covenants made in temples. Temple marriage, for example, offers the potential to be married throughout eternity and to enjoy the blessings of family life in the presence of God. Thus, we hope that all our young people will choose to be married in the temple to a spouse who is committed to Christ and is willing to live life according to the Gospel.

I dont know the mormon church, but to have a recognized catholic wedding the couple has to agree to let the children be raised catholic... IM thinking that this may interfear with the mormons

Yes, of course The LDS church doesn't look down upon other religions. I'm LDS and have dated Catholics and Baptist's and even a few guy's that didn't really have a religion. The parents are going to be the only problem that I can see. They will want their son/daughter to date inside the church because it does create certain problems. My advice if you can, keep your beliefs to your self.

I was raised Catholic (left the Church), I live in Utah (Capital of LDS Church), am now Pagan (Bless us), and all but 2 of my friends are LDS, including my significant other. Don't let the differences in how you worship the same entity deny you your love. After all, God is love, right? Besides, in my studies, I've found more in common between the Mother Church and the LDS faith than there are differences.

Paul says in 2 Corinthians 6:14...
(2 Corinthians 6:14 KJV) Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Now, while it can be argued that Catholics and LDS are both Christians (it can also be argued that one or both are not, too), there is more to Paul's admonition than a Christian marrying a non-Christian.
The point is that your spiritual belief systems should be such that they will not cause problems in the marriage. Marriage is tough enough without having arguments, or unhappiness, over spiritual matters.

anythings possible..... i think mormons are suppposed to be with other mormons but, if two people love each other then who cares about a little detail like that... or the catholic could try to go to to the mormon church to impress the parents.... its not like you'd be breaking a rule by doing that. mormons like people visiting their church... i used to do that.... so yeah. plus it shows that you really care and are open minded and respectful.....

Different beliefs are cause for strife. Avoid the trouble now and call it off.
Attitudes, values, and beliefs are the big three when getting in a relationship. And with beliefs already a handicap, you're missing 1/3 of the equation.

To heck with what the church thinks, Jesus came and called people out of the church, decide with your heart and head.

What is actually required of those who would survive? ...who would "make it"?
(Zephaniah 2:3) Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth, who have practiced His own judicial decision. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably you may be concealed in the day of Jehovah’s anger.

It depends upon the people. They are a difficult mix at best, but truly it depends upon the people and the families more than anything else.
