Hi, my friend wants to get married outside, and her family wants her to have a church wedding.  Hoping for a happy medium we are looking for a priest that would do a Catholic ceremony outdoors.  Does anyone know of any priests that will do this?  I've heard it can be done, but is difficult to do.
Thanks!

    The only priests that do this are either retired, or from splinter sects. If you find one of these priests, it will not be a 'valid' wedding in the eyes of the Catholic Church. It will be a legal marriage, and perhaps the appearance of a Catholic wedding will be enough to satisfy the family. But if the Church recognizing this marriage is a requirement, then nope, no outside Catholic wedding.

    Yes, contact Monsignor Jim at My Saint Miriam.
