To be absolutely clear, this is all
that Canon Law has to say about godparents
(sponsors):
Chapter IV.
Sponsors
Canon 872 Insofar as possible, a person to be baptized is to be given a sponsor who assists an adult in Christian initiation or together with the parents presents an infant for baptism. A sponsor also helps the baptized person to lead a Christian life in keeping with baptism and to fulfill faithfully the obligations inherent in it.
Canon 873 There is to be only one male sponsor or one female sponsor or one of each.
Canon 874 §1. To be permitted to take on the function of sponsor a person must:
°1 be designated by the one to be baptized, by the parents or the person who takes their place, or in their absence by the pastor or minister and have the aptitude and intention of fulfilling this function;
°2 have completed the sixteenth year of age, unless the diocesan bishop has established another age, or the pastor or minister has granted an exception for a just cause;
°3 be a Catholic who has been confirmed and has already received the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist and who leads a life of faith in keeping with the function to be taken on;
°4 not be bound by any canonical penalty legitimately imposed or declared;
°5 not be the father or mother of the one to be baptized.
§2. A baptized person who belongs to a non-Catholic ecclesial community is not to participate except together with a Catholic sponsor and then only as a witness of the baptism.
I surmise based on your name that
you are Catholic, and based on your
comment about marriage that you are
living a life of faith in keeping
with sponsorship. I assume you have
received the Eucharist and aren't
bound by a canonical penalty. I suppose
it is an open question whether you
are confirmed but the pastor should
have verified this. In any case,
there is nothing here that is predicated
on the couple being married.
