Gavin,
You have said it: There is an inherent contradiction in the order of things if you seek Baptism first, unless, of course, you intend to live as brother and sister (which I highly doubt).
The solution is fairly simple:
- Get married
- Join a RCIA program as a family and
- then become Catholics together at the Easter Vigil next year as the culmination of your journey.
You can have your marriage blessed by the Church at the same time. The alternative is to get married, then have a private ceremony to become baptized and have the marriage blessed.
In either case, there should be some formal formation process so you have the fullness of Catholic initiation.
God bless you as you continue on your quest!
