Is marriage between two non-Catholics valid if they convert? Someone I know is worried about this. I’d say yes, but I am only a layman.

If there were no impediments to the marriage at the time of the wedding (e.g., previous marriage, close blood relationship), the marriage is presumed valid whether or not they convert. If either or both parties are not validly baptized and then are baptized, a valid marriage will become sacramental upon the baptism of both parties. (If both are already validly baptized, a valid marriage is already presumed sacramental.)
