Response to some concerns:

If the wedding is outside, is it a Catholic/Christian Wedding?

Yes. The covenant (the sacrament) of marriage is given to each other when making the vows at the wedding; the minister is only a key witness. The place of the ceremony is incidental and should be a free choice of the couple.

Will you still marry us if one or both of us is not Catholic?

Yes. Faith is a personal matter between the bride and groom.

Is divorce a problem for remarriage?

Not with me. The Catholic Church for 1200 years held no inclusive or exclusive position on this matter.

Is it possible to include children in the ceremony if one of us has children?

Indeed it is possible and probably a good plan. I will assist you with several possibilities.

What if we don't attend Church regularly?

Whether you do or do not is a personal matter. It should have little or nothing to do with your marriage plans. However, to me, it is much more important to be spiritual than "religious."

Do we need a series of pre-marital instructions?

These are not required. However, if you both wish some pre-marital counsel, I am happy to so provide.
