Non-Catholic Marrying a Catholic

[jake]

Jake reckons he converted in order to marry in church here!!
Im sure he will let the OP know how its done but a donation in a Manila envelope may see a way around that option IMO..

Are you trying to imply things can be arranged here?
The story started when i was playing doubles tennis with the local postie, the priest and his girlfriend. Yes the priest had a girlfriend. Fair play to the guy as least he wasn't into the same things as most of his mates seem to be. Anyway!
After the game we were taking refreshments (whisky) supplied by the postie. I mentioned that my girlfriend wanted to get married in the catholic church but i wasn't one of them. He said that's not a problem as i can still marry you as a non catholic but i cant say mass at the wedding. Great problem solved. Not!
Went home to the missus chuffed at the outcome and she said she wanted to do mass.
Went back to my mate the padre and told him this. He said you will have to go and see the bishop.. great! Went to see the bishop and by the end of my interview (interrogation) he said he will speak to the priest. Didn't tell him the priest had given me a crash course in what to say.
On the day of the wedding i went to see the priest in private and he converted me to a catholic.
A few months later the priest got his girlfriend up the duff and left. With his departure the tennis court which was on church ground was made into something else

There you go Fred!

What a wonderfully divine tale Jake!!

Anyway..Thanks for sharing.

A true 'tale' as well. Not like the tales that different religions tell you.
Actually i don't have a problem with anyone's religion as long as they aren't ramming it down my throat.
How about you share with us your wedding story and the reception afterwards?????????
Mine was street and i only lasted till 4pm as we had been drinking lambanog, virtually non stop since the day before.
Our marriage was made in heaven
