Me and hubby are Orthodox but want a Catholic wedding?
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.

One or both of you will have to convert to Catholicism before the wedding if you want to do that. The Catholic church will not allow outsiders to marry in their buildings. If you don't believe in what they do, why do you want to get married there? Is it because of the architecture of the building? A church is a house of worship, not a pretty backdrop.
You are already married so you won't be having a wedding. It would be a renewal of vows. No priest, even if you were to convert, would marry you because that is grounds for fraud.

You're not Orthodox if you want to marry Catholic just because you like the ceremony better.
Convert because it doesn't matter to you anyway and see your dream come true. I can't imagine what your families are saying about it…

The Roman Catholic church will marry a Catholic and and Orthodox person but not two Orthodox people, one of the two people getting married MUST be a baptised Roman Catholic.
Also the Orthodox churches do not allow Orthodox people to marry in a Roman Catholic church, so even mixed-religion couples usually can only be married by Orthodox priest if they want to both follow their religion. Roman Catholics are allowed to marry in Orthodox church with dispensation from their bishop but never the other way around. Keep that in mind- your Orthodox church would never recognize this marriage.
Anyway, at least one of you would have to convert, the Roman Catholic church does not marry couples where neither person is a Roman Catholic. They aren't going to let you convert just because you want a prettier wedding though you have to believe in the religion right?
