  THe Cathedral of St. Paul only requires that one or both members of the couple be practicing and registered at a parish, not theirs.  It's a ridiculously beautiful church if you're able to make it work.

  I was married here and it's true... but the fee is just double what members pay.  I was already a parishioner there, so it didn't matter.  If your parents are members at a parish, you could likely get married there as well without personally needing to be a member!

  I became a member of my catholic church by filling out a form at the church.  It was that easy.  Granted, I was baptized and confirmed Catholic.

  thanks for the input. assumption you have to be a member of the parish and the catherdal is way to expensive for my budget.  I am a member of a church I am just looking for a more traditional looking one for my wedding.

  Check out Our Lady of Lourdes, in Minneapolis. They DO require you to be a member for the discounted rate (not sure if they required it overall, but I specifically remember the paperwork listing the fee for members and non-members, which makes me think you may not both need to be members), but that's about it. In order for us to be members, we just had to fill out a form, and they sent us envelopes for monthly contributions, which my DH took care of. He actually didn't contribute every month, and when he did, it was just a few bucks. We didn't have to actually attend mass there (both lived out of state). You've got plenty of time to become a member if need be.

  To have a Catholic wedding in any catholic church you have to be a member of the church or at least that's what our priest told us.  It's "Caan" law if I spelled it right.  But as for getting married at a different church, I think as long as you're a member at A catholic church, then it works.
