How Do We Get Our Marriage Blessed?

Question:

We are having our marriage blessed in the Church. What all is involved?

Answer:

Presuming that neither of you had a previous marriage, the validation of your marriage is a pretty straightforward process. You both need to provide your records of baptism, First Communion, and confirmation. Then you would need witnesses who can testify that neither of you had any previous marriages with surviving spouses. You would also need to provide a copy of your civil marriage. Once the priest is satisfied that you intend to enter into the Catholic understanding of marriage, you would simply exchange your vows in a brief ceremony.
