Not to get married in a Catholic Church but to have a Catholic Mass you do. The difference is about 15min. off the ceremony and no communion. You should call any priest to get more info, good luck and congratulations (if your the one getting married). :)

Yes for the Catholic partner and for the fiance it should be as long as you have had marriage classes/talks. You should be able to marry. My friend married her husband and he was protestant at a Catholic Church. But many of my other friends who are Catholic have made thier first communion and confirmation before. For more information visit your local parish, some churches may run things differently than others.

One of the parties has to be Catholic to get married in a Catholic Church. However if one of the parties isn't Catholic, you can still have the mass, but that person cannot accept Communion. My sister is Catholic and her husband isn't and that's how they did their wedding mass.

The most important part is if you were baptised Catholic. You will have to show proof as well. They ask if you've compelted your first communion and confirmation, however it is not manditory. In my case, I've been baptised Catholic, had my first communion and been confirmed. My fiance however, has just been baptised. His parents then put him in a public school, and he didn't get his first communion nor confirmation. There were no issues whatsoever. You're able to marry someone who is not Catholic in the church, as long as you yourself are Catholic. You will also have to partake in marriage preperatory classes (basic stuff).
Good luck :)

This depends upon the parish/diocese, and the rest of your circumstances. If one of the people getting married is a practicing Catholic, some churches will allow a marriage to someone of a different faith. However, the non-Catholic must agree to raise the children in the Catholic faith. Both of you would have to go to pre-marital classes regardless.
Best thing to do is to talk to a local priest.

if you say you are catholic yes they will want proof of communion baptism and coformation. If you are not catholic and you are going to marry a catholic in a catholic church you have to talk to the priest because my cousin had to go through some ruff courses. and he did weekends for this to be done in time for the wedding.

My Sister didnt, but she had to sign a bunch of papers saying that if they had children they would bring them up in the catholic faith and things like that.
I bet this differs from church to church, I would ask the priest what getting married in the church would entail on your part.

Nah - just give them some money and they'll accept you.
That's what the church is all about - revenue.
