Catholic Couple Living together

First Anniversary

Hi all,

im recently engaged, and starting to seriously look at venues and churches for the ceremony. I know we need to find a priest to agree to marry us first, and so I wanted to ask any North Jersey brides if they had any luck or trouble finding a priest to marry you if you and your fiancé were living together. I'm in the Jersey City/Hoboken area, and there are a few beautiful churches I'm looking into registering at, but I'm also open to the idea of going a little further west too. Please let me know if you can think of any priests in the area who will not mind me and my fiancé living together!

Thanks!!

    It probably depends on the priest. My sister is catholic and married a catholic...they lived together for two years prior and it was not an issue.

    My husband and I got married at St John the Baptist Church on Kennedy Blvd. We are both catholic and have been living together for over 7 years, it was never an issue. You should be fine.

    My husband and I did Pre-Cana at the Catholic church in Hoboken, and the Priest was WONDERFUL. He made a ton of jokes about everyone living together and was overall very laid back. I don't think you'll have a problem at any of the Hoboken/JC churches.
