Well I am not exactly a Baptist anymore. I go to a church called Advent Christian Church. It is not the same as Seventh-day Advent though. Anyone have any ideas as to whether this is possible or not?

Unless you convert, you can't have a full Catholic Mass. You probably would be better off in the Protestant church. Talk to your pastor. Either way you probably should discuss how any children you have will be raised. I am a Lutheran, my Hubby is Catholic. My 3 children were raised Catholic. We were married in a Lutheran church with a Minister and a Catholic Priest.

I am familiar with the Adventist but not the Advent Christian; but that's neither here nor there.
Chances are you will not be able to marry in either church. So plan on finding a neutral church to rent or some other venue; like a hotel, B&B, winery, home, Art gallery, museum even the venue where you plan on having your reception.
Then you will need to find someone to marry you. I am non-denominational & do interfaith marriages. Am doing one on July 4. Here's how you go about finding someone for your ceremony.
To find an officiant type into Yahoo your city, state & wedding officiant (no 's' on the end) You will have a few to choose from, usually on the 2nd page. The larger bridal sites seem to get top billing. If you do go to the bridal sites, please visit the site of someone you think you might like. Those bridal sites make vendors & officiants pay for your contact info so you may not hear back from someone you'd hoped.

How awesome! It's like my mom and dad tale all over the place once more. My father is a Catholic and used to be raised within the Catholic church. My mom is a Baptist and used to be raised within the Baptist church. They had been married in a church by way of each a Baptist minister and a Catholic priest whilst. By the best way, they're going on forty+ years of fortunately ever after. It will also be performed and will paintings and not using a hitch, if you'll pardon the pun! Good good fortune!

Yes, it happens all of the time. However, and this is a really big question, does religion matter to the two of you, or not? If the answer is yes, it does matter, then you are headed for HUGE problems because you have set up a relationship where something important is also something you disagree on. Not a good way to begin. Or, if it doesn't really matter, then join her church, agree to raise the children in the Catholic Church, and all will be well. But it's a very important issue. Don't ignore it.

Yes,many Baptist-Catholic weddings. The problem with such a wedding Advent Christian(Conditionalist"soul sleep") would probably be from ACC side not Catholic.

Anything is possible. I believe that how you get married is more the question. If you want to get married in the catholic church, then both of you must agree to raise your children catholic. But if you don't want this, you can have a justice of the peace perform the ceremony, or your own minister, or a Salvation Army officer (minister) will also perform the ceremony. There are many ministers who would allow this type of wedding.

The two of you would need to go see both the minister and the priest and speak to them.
More importantly than where you would plan the wedding ceremony, would be the question of religion between the two of you. If you get married in the Catholic church, you MUST raise the children in a Catholic home, have them prepared for receiving sacraments, etc. The two of you need to figure out SERIOUSLY what faith you will follow as a FAMILY once you get married. Perhaps pre-marital counselling would help.

I work in a Baptist church ( I am not a Baptist) and I can tell you that the Baptists do not consider Catholics to be Christians...could be difficult to get the pastor and the priest to work together...

I believe it is.. Any prest wouldnt mind to do it... Worse comes to worst someone gets baptised... But if you do get married i would do the marriage outside that way.. No church Baptist or Catholic is involded.. My cuzin Catholic married \Bahaii Faith, and the religions dont even believe in the same thing.. so i am sure you'll be fine..
Congrats if your getting married
Good Luck (if your planning Too)

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.
