As a protestant, I would never think of being married in a Catholic church, but that is my own issue.
Protestants do not put restrictions on the location of a wedding like the Catholic Church does. If you run off to Vegas you are just as married as if you did it in your family's church.
Since Catholics do put restrictions on marriage ceremonies, your boyfriend will have to jump through some hoops he might not be comfortable with. He will have to go to counseling with your priest, and sign an agreement to raise your children Catholic. I would have a major problem with both.
On a side note, protestants will aslo let you be burried anywhere you want.

I was brought up Catholic before I learned the truth, and now i am non-denominational.
But in the old days (the sixties) there was no way a protestant would marry a Catholic in a Catholic Church. My mom was Methodist, so they wouldn't allow my mom and dad (dad is Catholic) to marry in the church, but then when my mom became pregnant with her first child, the Catholic Church blessed the marriage.
My mom being Methodist is not allowed to be buried in the same burial plot as the rest of us. This was reason enough for me to run away from that Church, and keep on going........

By he do you mean the protestant faith? Sure, the idea is to make your covenant before God and any "man of the cloth" will do. But, I was under the impression that Catholics would not "intermarry." Since communion is part of the ceremony I do not think he is allowed to partake. Catholics and some protestant faiths are closed communion. I could be wrong so ask your Priest and they will tell you.
I will ask you some questions only for the sake of your marriage. Are you a devout Catholic? Do you expect your boyfriend to convert? Have you spoken of this? Will he attend your Church or his? How can you have a strong marriage and worship God apart? What about being "unequally yoked?" When you have children where will they go and how do you intend to raise them?
All these questions and many more need to be answered before you set the date. Please do not rush into this or you will be adding to the divorce statistics.

One cannot do so as the Protestants are not one church. There are many; Anglican, Baptist, Pentecostal etc. Protestantism is more prevalent in the US though. Protestants generally have a different take on the Bible and doctrine to Catholics. Catholics Baptize their children at a young age whereas some Protestants have Believers Baptism, where they are Baptized as adults when can make an informed decision to follow Christ. Also Christ was Baptized as an adult so some emulate him in this fashion. Although most agree that Baptism is a sacrament. Catholics have seven sacraments; Baptism Communion (Eucharist Confession Confirmation Matrimony Ordination Extreme Unction (or Last Rites) Some Protestants agree that Baptism is a sacrament as well as Communion as they are in the Bible, however do not think they have any spiritual credence so do not see them as sacred.

Yes- do you think you are the only Catholic ever to marry a non Catholic?
You will need to go through Cahtoic marriage prep. You need to sign a statement saying the children will be raised Catholic, your fiance must acknowledge your promise.
Usually, it would only be a marriage cermony, no Mass if one party is not Catholic. But if you really want a Mass you can have one.I did becuase my priest knew it was important to me.

Yes.
The Catholic Church allows marriage between Catholics and non-Catholics.
Because the Church recognizes the tremendous challenge that the interfaith couple will face, they may have to get permission from the bishop.
With love in Christ.

Only one of you needs to be Catholic to marry in an actual Catholic church. They may frown upon it and ask if he plans to convert, but they won't deny you getting married in the church.
