if you are catholic and do not have a wedding in a church - any dnomination as long as it's a Christian church your marriage has not been blessed and thus you are living in sin.
you don't have to have a catholic wedding - just a Christian marriage - committing before God.

--Is Catholic--
If you are Catholic
AND
1. You did not get a dispensation to marry in a non-Catholic wedding
THE CHURCH
Does not recognize any sort contract of marriage bond between you and your spouse. You are considered single and unmarried. It is a pretty serious offence against the Catholic Faith to attempt such a marriage, but I am not sure if it rises to the level of profanation /sacrilege against a sacrament (since you are not automatically excommunicated by the action). You are barred from the Eucharist until you go to confession.
Since the Church considers you to be single if you are having sex, you are violating the 6th commandment, which is gravely wrong. Here again you are not excommunicated but rather must go to confession before you receive the Eucharist.
Now the Eucharist is something that shouldn't be messed around with. As St. Paul says (1st Corinthians) if you partake of the Body and Blood in a state of sin, you heap judgment upon your head. So first, yourself, need to be a responsible adult and a responsible Catholic and get your marriage recognize by the Church, and go to confession.
Might I also suggest that you and your "spouse" spend time understanding more exactly the Eucharist? Then you can understand why it is important to be in communion with the Catholic Faith and live the Catholic life.

NO you may not recieve holy communion. If you do you are commiting a sacralige. You may recieve if you want to anyone can recieve it. The Priest is not there to tell you at communion no. He is just there to give you the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Christ. There are people out there that have sins and recieve it but does that does not make it right? You need to go talk to your parish priest and speak to him. I am married to a non-Catholic and have not recieved communion in a few years. This is because it is a church teaching. You have to have your marriage blessed in the Catholic church before recieving again. If you have any ?'s on this or any other Cathoic subject please write me and ask. If I have the answer i will answer it if not i will find it for you then get back to you. robertjmg@yahoo.com

It is determined by how lengthy the readings are and whether they do communion. If they do an entire mass with communion, anticipate it to take approximately an hour, might be a bit extra. If they do not, it could actually nonetheless be approximately 35-forty five mins. I met a pair who're making plans a Hindu marriage ceremony they usually had been telling me that their rite takes goodbye that they have got a tea station installed. Guests simply understand that at any time they may be able to pass get anything to drink and take a holiday from the rite. I wager it takes at least an hour and part and will pass so long as two hours.

WHO Cares! If you believe in the Bible, then it is a sin to INGEST BLOOD AND FLESH! Cannibalism, Going against both Old and New Testament laws. So if you put that stuff in your mouth, then if you believe it IS the body and BLOOD of Christ. Even if it is not, then according to the Bible you have grossly offended God because when you ingested it you believed that it IS THE BODY AND blood OF THE CHRIST. NO CHRISTIAN WOULD BE INVITED INTO CANNIBALISM BY THE CHRIST! So what are you really eating and drinking????
Don't worry about communion, when the whole religion is a SHAM and a RACKET!!!!!!

Depends on your leaders in your area.
I do know from personal experience if the Catholic Church elects to annual your non Catholic wedding, they have a list of 39 reasons they can do the annulment along with your $1000 to process the request. I find it strange since they don't recognize non Catholic weddings and we were both non Catholics.

Yes. That is correct. If you get married in the catholic church you can then take communion, but it's really up the individual church.

I was not married in the church and I took communion. The priest never made an issue of it.

No. I'm Catholic and I'm married to a Buddhist woman. We were NOT married in a Catholic ceremony and I am still able to go to Mass and recieve Corpus Christi.
