We had the traditional Irish Catholic wedding with full mass. Yeah it was long. But I felt like I got my money's worth out of that rented tux.
The reception was a blast. Those Irish Catholics definitely know how to party.

I almost married a catholic woman. We were together for four years before she realised she couldn't make me believe in catholisim. If you are not willing to submit to all of her superstitions, she may decide later on that you are no longer suitable. Maybe even after you have had kids, as she had done to her ex-husband who switched over to mormonism. She is currently using her religious beliefs to keep her children from seeing their father, all in accord with the local judges apparently.
Best to just find a good atheist girl. They are very reasonable.

I married a Catholic. I converted to be able to participate in the various celebrations in my children's lives. My understanding is that if you are not baptized, the marriage will not be recognized by the church. As someone else pointed out the pre-marriage class thing is pretty good and would be helpful to any marriage. It covers a lot of stuff that a lot of people don't discuss prior to marriage.
