I have been legally married for a little over 1yr and me and my husband have decided to have a proper wedding, dress and flowers and the works. We are both Orthodox, however I have always dreamt of having a Catholic ceremony at my wedding. Any idea if that is possible? Do we both have to convert, seeing that none of us two are baptised Catholics? Thanks!
Yes you will have to convert and be baptized. I would go to the nearest Catholic church. Make an appointment to speak with a priest. They will help walk you through all the steps needed. Good luck to you.

Please! I need to know the official teachings on abortion and capital punishment according to the Catholic Church!
This is for a Respect Life essay.
Praise the Lord!
To give a slightly more nuanced answer:
Abortion. Human life begins at conception and must be protected. Abortion is wrong in every instance, and by its nature automatically excommunicates the person who has it performed. This is not to say that this person is rejected by the Church, but rather that their offense is so grave that it by itself constitutes a rupture that must be repaired.
http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s2c2a5.htm
Death penalty. This is slightly more complicated due to the nature of the perpetrator's offense. The Catechism of the Church states, "Assuming that the guilty party's identity and responsibility have been fully determined, the traditional teaching of the Church does not exclude recourse to the death penalty, if this is the only possible way of effectively defending human lives against the unjust aggressor." Because of the sanctity of life, however, if society can be protected through non-lethal means, then it is immoral to execute the criminal. Indeed, because of modern jail and judicial systems, the Church states that instances in which the offender must be executed "are very rare, if not practically nonexistent."

I saw this place near Publix that said Christian karate and i was wondering whats the difference between Christian karate and normal karate?
Beware ! I've run across many such groups before. Every one I've run across had some major issue. I'd be inclined to just stay clear of any group using that pitch. The groups I've seen all had both an attitude problem and bad training.
Basically some groups get hung up on the Buddhist concepts that some martial arts may have had at one time. Today you will not find much of that anyway so it is not an issue for those that are Christians. I myself am a Christian, but have never had a problem with my training contradicting my beliefs.

were showing them a veggie tales short move, about saint patricks day and it talks about him going to ireland and telling them about god. What is a good bible verse for PRESCHOOLERS, telling them about spreading the gospel.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Do you have to be able to read and know Hebrew to understand services at Conservative and Orthodox synagogues? Are the services usually only conducted in Hebrew? (please can only Jewish people and people who have actually been to synagogue services answer this for me)
Well, Orthodox services are entirely in Hebrew so it would be extremely difficult to follow unless you can read Hebrew or someone sits next to you to keep you on track with what page you are on.
Conservatives usually read half and half, hebrew and english.

I am divorced since Year 2002 with two boys aged 10 and 7. My ex-husband is a Christian who has also already baptized. Is it possible that I can marry a Catholic single man? Please advise.
This is assuming you want to be married in a church. And that largely depends on how progressive or conservative the Catholic Priest is.

Can you contrast what the difference between pantheism and Christian God is?
Pantheism is a philosophy, not a set of dogma, nor does it need to include a supernatural deity (though it certainly can). The Christian God, a true blue deity, is literally defined in the Bible.
- secular pantheist

Is the New King James Bible Catholic? What are characteristics of a Catholic Bible? Thanks!
All Roman Catholic bible versions in print (not all editions, just all versions)

The difference between a Roman Catholic bible and a Protestant bible
http://www.bible-reviews.com/topics_rc_vs_pr.html
The New King James Version is definitely NOT a Roman Catholic bible.
If the above links do not provide enough information, I will be happy to help you to choose the right bible.
