Yes, with some work... Yes, it is possible to get married at a catholic church if neither of you attend anymore. Since you both have not been confirmed you will have to take adult confirmation classes. It varies church to church how long these take.It can be anywhere between 1 month to 6 months.
Once you have been confirmed you will be eligible to be married in the church. In addition most churches require you both go through a pre marriage counseling period that lasts 6 months. I believe that it is possible to do this at the same time as the confirmation classes.
It may sound like a lot but its well worth it in my eyes. It will bring you both closer to God and to each other. Remember, just because you aren't practicing Catholicism now, does not mean you aren't welcome to come back.

It depends My cousin is dealing with a similar situation, her fiance is catholic and our family is not, our church lets anyone use our building. Some catholic churches allow non-catholics to get married for a fee. It is best to make sure that the church you are looking at knows neither of you have been confirmed just in case.
If you have a certain priest that you want to perform the ceremony you also need to ask if that can be done, some catholic churches don't allow that either. The best thing to do is call and ask all the churches you are considering before you get your heart set on a specific church. You both can take classes and go through confirmation before the wedding if you cannot find a church in your area that allows non-catholics the use of their church.
Best of luck and congrats on the upcoming wedding! .
No the Catholic church does not perform civil weddings, only Catholic ones. By getting married in a Catholic church, you are thereby promising that your marriage will be a Christian marriage, following the rules of marriage outlined in Scripture and that any children that you may have together as a couple will be raised faithfully as Catholics. Since you aren't at all religious, you could not make those promises.It is also one of the seven sacraments that the RCC recognizes, it would require you to take communion which you could not do without confession if you are not a practicing Catholic and are not confirmed.
I'm curious, why do you want to get married in a Catholic service? If is because of the pretty building, you can probably find another nice building to perform a civil service. If it because of an interest in becoming "religious.
" You can probably start down that path and then have your service.

Yes My brother married a catholic girl, my wonderful sister in law. My brother had to attend some classes with her and he was allowed to marry her in the catholic church. Sources: my experience .
One person suggested going to RCIA classes and becoming confirmed Catholics so you can be married in the Catholic church. It might be that you both have some fond memories of the church of your childhood even though you have not been practicing Catholicism in your adult life. By taking the classes, you might decide that you want to return to the church.
You don't have to be certain that you want to be confirmed just to take the classes. It just means you have an interest in learning more. If you decide somewhere along the way that you don't want to be Catholic, you can always drop out.
I would not advise going through with confirmation, though, if you do not plan to practice the faith.
Grandmamu4all,I married a Catholic before I was confirmed. I believe the asker said that neither of them were confirmed Catholics. It's not necessary for both to be Catholic, but one of them has to be.
I doubt it. Why even go there if you don't believe? It would be a slap in the face of the church.
I didn't realize the category existed. " "Does the Catholic religion ever conflict with the Bible?
