Hi Zoe,
You said:
- What is the Catholic Church's teaching on marriage
to a non-Catholic?
This is allowed with a dispensation from the bishop, which is routine.
You said:
- Instead of just a service, is a Mass allowed at the wedding?
It is, but given that most of one side of the family won't be able to receive
Communion, it would be a bit awkward. Most priests recommend not
having a nuptial Mass in this case.
You said:
- Can the wedding be performed outside and blessed by a priest?
e.g. desired destinations: a wedding on the
beach or at a plantation home, etc.
No, in general a wedding cannot take place outside of a sacred place. (i.e.
a church or chapel)
This helps preserve the sacredness of the
event.
Hope this helps,
Eric
