Can you have a catholic wedding after the civil wedding?

In: Catholicism [Edit categories]

Answer:

Short answer - Yes, if both parties are Catholic and neither one had a previous marriage prior to the civil marriage. It would be a simple validation. You would need proof of the civil marriage, and baptism records.

If not, it gets more complicated.
