I'm not sure. I'm getting married in July and the first question the priest asked me was if i was pregnant. He says he refuses to preform a marriage if the bride is pregnant. Theres a couple churches around me who even have a 9 month waiting period just to make sure. It all depends on the church and the priest. Good luck.

You really need to check with the church in which you'd like to be married. Some churches won't marry a couple if they're living together.
There are many other venues where you can get married. And there are many christian officiants that will perform a wonderful ceremony for you.
To find an officiant type into Yahoo your city, state & wedding officiant (no 's' onthe end) You will have a few to choose from, usually on the 2nd page. The larger bridal sites seem to get top biling. If you do go to the bridal sites, please visit the site of someone you think you might like. Those bridal sitems make vendors & officiants pay for youe contact info so you may not hear back from someone you'd hoped.

It's possible, but it also depends on the church. It's definitely something you want to make known and be sure of! My boyfriend's mom was like 4 months pregnant when she got married and that was in a church, so I know it can happen.

Yes she can, if her pregnancy is kept well hidden from the pastor. I really don't approve, but if a woman is in her early months, and no one knows about the pregnancy, she can marry in church. I've seen it through the years knowing that someone was pregnant and they got married in church. It is really up to the individual. Some women feel that it is not right, and some women feel they can.

I just went to precana which is the class in the catholic church you go to before you get married and a couple actually went into labor during precana. They said she will get the certificate and be able to marry. I say its OK

I would definetiely say so. Infact, in the church's eyes, that might be even more of a reason to get married. The church isnt supposed to be there to outcast you, they are supposed to be there to help lead you down the right path. I would definetely say so.....yes.

Yes. Of course, some pastors/priests may refuse, in that case just try another church.

depends on the rules of the church....and the convictions of the pastor....a pastor would not marry my uncle several years ago because his wife had been married b4 and he did not believe in divorce, so therefore he did not believe in 2nd marriages.

Yes, but it would be a small ceremony, no big white dress and all the to-do... with family and close friends, because of the circumstances.
