Can you marry in Scottish Chapel without a Catholic Service?

Question

My partner is catholic (not practicing) I am protestant, we originally said a civil wedding, as I am the bride and requested this. We were going to have a civil marriage, but all his family have been married in the local Chapel, I have said ok but I dont want a catholic wedding as I am not catholic. Is this possible. He says it is but I not sure he saying that too get me in the door? The Priest is infact an ex Church of Scotland minister so I not too sure as I think a lot would say No

YES I AM TOTALLY AWARE THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND IS PROTESTANT AND NOT CATHOLIC! I HAVENT SAID THAT

Answer 1

Honey, the Church of Scotland isn't Catholic. It's Protestant.

Answer 2

The Catholic Church does not recognize civil ceremonies, so that's why your partner's family has requested a chapel service.

If your partner receives dispensation to marry you (which should be no problem as long as neither of you were married before), then you can have either your minister preside OR your partner's Catholic priest. If the priest does it, he can either do a full Catholic Mass or just the marriage rite, which is usually what happens in a mixed marriage.

The difference in your faith traditions ought to be thoroughly addressed in whatever premarital counseling you are getting, btw. There likely will be some sticking points here and there that would be better worked out before the wedding.

Answer 3

My Mum was a catholic (not really practising as such) & my Dad was Church of Scotland. They got married in Church of Scotland, but that was 45 years ago. I'm sure things have changed since then, but i'm sure if you got married in a Catholic Church or any other church for that matter there would be an element of religion involved. Much cheaper & less hassle to go with your original option & get married in the Registers Office. I did that when I married my wife.

Answer 4

an excellent "NO" from me! i might fairly no longer marry in any respect if i won't be in a position to marry the only individual that i particularly love in this international. I won't misinform myself and create yet another love. Love will continuously exist even while the different social gathering replaced or left you or died. i might fairly spend my finished finished existence on my own being an independant lady (which i apparently am suited now) if i won't be in a position to spend my lifetime with the affection of my existence. that's my existence concept while it contains love. you are able to verify in wikipedia for the elaborated meaning ok: Sonnet 116 by ability of William Shakespeare enable me to no longer the marriage of actual minds Admit impediments. Love isn't love Which alters while it alteration unearths, Or bends with the remover to do away with: O no! that's an ever-fastened mark that seems on tempests and is in no way shaken; it particularly is the famous individual to each wand'ring bark, Whose well worth's unknown, inspite of the reality that his height be taken. Love's no longer Time's fool, nonetheless rosy lips and cheeks interior of his bending sickle's compass come; Love alters no longer together with his short hours and weeks, yet bears it out even to the sting of doom: If this be blunders and upon me proved, I in no way writ, nor no guy ever enjoyed. =)

Answer 5

You should probably sit down with the priest who is at the chapel you wish to marry in and talk with him about it.

Best of luck to both of you!
