The reason I have not had communion or confirmation is because my mother left the religion and did not want her child to be part of it.

I have been baptised Catholic and would be marrying a man who is Roman catholic

Yes.
The bride OR the groom has to be baptized for marriage in the Catholic Church.
You are both baptized so there is no problem.
Congratulations.
With love in Christ.

The fact that you have not had communion or confirmation (and i presume Reconciliation) would lead some people to believe that you are not serious about practicing your faith and that the only reason to be married in a Catholic Church is for the fancy ceremony and all of the glitz and glamor.
Please take a serious look at your life and decide which is more important to you - your faith or your face.
Edit:
I am sorry if I made assumptions. I have met many people who felt that the ceremony was more important that the faith that is the basis of the ceremony.
I suggest that you go talk to your priest about your situation. I am sure that you can receive instruction regarding the Sacraments that you have been missing in your life and you can become an active practicing member of your faith before you get married. And then there should be no problem with you getting married in a Catholic Church

Canon Law, the official laws of the Church, states the following ...
(Canon 1065) - "Catholics who have not yet received the sacrament of confirmation are to receive it before being admitted to marriage, if this can be done without grave inconvenience".
You will be asked to participate in the RCIA program, a program of basic instruction in the Catholic faith, at the end of which you will receive your first Holy Communion and the Sacrament of Confirmation. There is no point entering into marriage with a child's understanding of the faith. Confirmation is the sacrament in which we receive the grace to live the faith as adult members of the Church, which is why we receive instruction on an adult level before receiving it.
This of course assumes that you are Catholic? You didn't state that. If you are not Catholic, but are marrying a Catholic, then you will not be receiving Confirmation or Holy Communion. In fact, you cannot do so.

a million: The baptism is to no longer be repeated. All you should do is teach a letter from the church that did it. that isn't no longer common to acquire. The RCC will take that because it incredibly is and not re-baptize. you will ought to circulate by way of RCIA training and be shown interior the RCC, nevertheless. The priest can get you into those and that they are loose. 2: i do no longer know on the subject of the marriage element. Ask a clergyman. 3: The Nicene Creed is considered the bare minimum theory for every physique who calls himself a Christian. Failing to settle for any area of it would incredibly placed a damper on the region. Which area do you have a difficulty with, precisely?

I doubt it seriously. Marriage is a sacrament for joining two catholics together (in Catholicism). It involves a mass, and the couple take communion. If you want to be married in the church, go to the priest to ask what you have to do.

No The Catholic Church want you to become a full blooded member, you will have to make that change going to all the classes and other meetings they require in oder for you to become a true member before you marry in one. My cousin had to he (her husband) was Catholic she was not and she went through weeks/months of prepation to become a member before they could marry, 20 years later they are now divorced.

Yes. I am Catholic, but I was engaged to a man who was baptized Protestant. The church would have married us if we hadn't split apart. All you need is one of you to be concidered Catholic.

Yes. You are Catholic by baptism. To be admitted to the sacrament, you might have to go to confession (to ensure you are in a state of grace to receive the sacrament.)
Since marriage is a sacrament that the husband and wife are the ministers of, it is strictly only necessary that one of you even be Christian. See:
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09707a.htm
"The extent of sacramental marriage"
...however most dioceses will insist that at least one of you be Catholic by baptism. That would be you.
