can you get married in the church outside ?

[quote name='crusader1234' date='Jan 5 2005, 06:26 PM'] So I'm assuming its ok - at the discretion of the Priest/Bishop. [/quote]
There's no question that you would need the permission of the Bishop (the Ordinary): "The local Ordinary can allow a marriage to be celebrated in another suitable place." The permission of a priest would not be sufficient; a priest's permission is only sufficient to have a wedding in another Catholic church or oratory.

But the outdoors is normally [i]not[/i] regarded as a "suitable place" for a wedding, in the words of the law, and most dioceses explicitly prohibit it. For more details, contact the chancery of your diocese and/or a canon lawyer.

dude my friends had mass on a campling trip we went on one time.......they made an altar that day and a priest that went with them celebrated mass on it that day...it sounded really awesome I wish I was there....

[hopeful1]

personally, i wouldn't want to get married outside. What it it rains and the wind ruins my hair?






or a bird flies over my head (shudders)?

im guessing that it is possible...just not normal. When i went on a retreat this summer up in colorado, we had mass on a mountain and we surrounded this rock and it was in the shape of the altar. It was soo cool and i will always remember that.

I wanna marry in a beautiful church.

But yeah, it sounds like you have to ask permission of a priest or bishop to marry outside...works for me. Hey, it's canon law.
