My wife and I were married by a judge before we entered RCIA and became Catholic. Do we need to get our marriage blessed by the Church or is it already recognized?
 
Assuming that neither of you were lapsed Catholics at the time of your marriage and that there were no impediments to the marriage (e.g., a previous marriage), your civil marriage is presumed to be valid. If you were both baptized at the time of the marriage, it was also presumed sacramental at that point. If either of you were baptized when you were received into the Church, your marriage became sacramental upon baptism.
