If two persons are getting married in a Protestant church - having their wedding ceremony in a protestant church - and after few years they are converting into catholic faith, will their marriage be recognized as valid by the catholic church? Or shall they get married one more time in a catholic church?
 
Hi,

The Catholic Church recognizes the marriages of non-Catholics as valid. If both were non-Catholics when they were married, the Church considers the marriage to be valid.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
