Yes, my husband and I are both baptized, but only my husband has been confirmed. We actually checked with a few different Catholic churches within 2 different states - here where we live in California (where things aren't so traditional) and in the midwest where my husband is from. Needless to say the small town he is from is very conservative/traditional, but every single church we checked with said it was ok. Some suggested that I get confirmed in the future, but that it was not a requirement.

Only one person of the couple has to be baptized to be married in the Catholic Church.
Confirmation is not a requirement.
With love in Christ.

Yes, it is possible. You need not be confirmed in order to marry.
To be married in the Catholic Church, at least one person in the couple must be Catholic.
The couple must also promise an intended lifelong commitment; must be open to the possibility of children, and must promise to raise the children Catholic.
If, on wedding day or at any point after, any of the following is present in either person's mind, then their marriage is considered invalid from the start:
"We're not going to have any children."
"I'll give it a few years, and if it doesn't work out, we'll just divorce."
"We're not going to raise our kids Catholic -- they can make up their own minds about religion after they grow up."

sure, he purely has to do each and every of the comparable premarital prep that any couple does to get married in the church. assembly with the priest and marriage prep come upon (now and returned a classification, now and returned a weekend retreat). My now x-husband additionally had to sign a checklist offered by skill of the priest after our instructions pointing out that he would enhance our babies catholic. He in no way converted.

In reality or fantasy it's your choice is it not? If you believe in fantasy club rules then that's what you get .Otherwise Marry in a civil ceremony as I did. If Catholicism is your choice talk to your local Catholic administrator for the official current stance .they will have their own program for your sacramental pleasure.
peace out

"Catholics who have not yet received the sacrament of confirmation are to receive it before they are admitted to marriage if it can be done without grave inconvenience." -- Code of Canon Law 1065 §1

Confirmation is not absolutely necessary before matrimony, but it helps, and it should be done, if possible.
