I'm not planing on getting re married any time soon...but I do have a question. I am catholic, and had my marriage nulled in the church, so I am free to marry in the catholic church again. But, the church i was married in, was also the church my parents were married in, myself and siblings were baptized in, my daughter was baptized in...in short, it is a special place to me and my family. If I were to remarry, I would feel weird about getting married in the church at all, but the person I'm with has never been married, and is catholic, people tell me there would be nothing wrong with getting remarried in the same church, I think thats weird... what do you say?

Try looking at it from another point of view. Being married in a Catholic Church is participating in the Sacrament of Marriage. You and your beloved publicly exchange the promise to love and support each other as husband and wife for the rest of your life with the blessing of God and the church as represented by those in attendance.
By getting married in your church, you are asking for and receiving the support of your community. In your case, you are enriching a family religious history. Why would you want to do this anywhere less intimate or important?
I'm guessing (and pardon me if I am wrong or too bold) that since you already have an anullment that the situation was a rather bad one. Most people in my experience of church work only decide to get an anullment when they want to remarry and want to have another big church wedding. To me, your previous "marriage" wasn't a marriage at all - which is what an anullment says. Life is unpredictable, people change and/or make mistakes, in short, things do happen.
You have every right to be married, if and when the time comes, in God's house (where ever that may be) with the love and support of not only those gathered there, but those who have come before you.

IT shouldn't be bad to get married in the same church only will be weird if your future husband will not feel comfortable to get married in the same church... He should be able to understand that it is a special place for you and your family and maybe if for any reason he will be uncomfortable to get married in the same church then you can choose to married in a different place with the same priest ( a beach , a nice back yard , etc.) I wish I could of done the same thing but my now hubby was married by church in the past & I was too, but they told us they will be a long process and maybe not be accepted.... But any ways back to your question it shouldn't be a problem it will be a new life ...

I don't think there's anything wrong with it unless it's weird for you in an emotional way. Maybe you have too many memories of your first wedding taking place there and you want this one to be different. If it bothers you then think about getting married at your boyfriend's church or another catholic church.

There is nothing wrong with getting married in the same church. If you are not comfortable with it, have an outside wedding and then ask the church to bless the marriage.

If it fells like taboo than maybe you should listen to yourself. Always go with you gut instinct.
