Confirmation?????????/

GeneticDeviant

Well me and my partner have discussed getting married and its something we both would love to do in the not too distant future. She's irish, i'm english.

Now she was confirmed by church of ireland when she was younger (she's a protestant). I am church of england, and i was never confirmed just christened as a baby.

Now apparently i've been told that to get married here i have to have been confirmed also but in england this is not the case, you do not have to be confirmed to marry (i know several people who got married there who did not get confirmed).

Where do i stand? Do i need to get confirmed or not to marry here in a church in ireland?

Why don't you ask the clergyman who will be performing the ceremony? If it does need to happen, I'm sure he/she can oblige.

Who told you that you need to be confirmed? I spoke to a Church of Ireland minister recently who said he was happy to do the ceremony even though neither me nor my fiance were confirmed.

my partner was convinced id have to be confirmed. She's very religious and i'm not so much so.

Just was hoping that someone here knew a definitive answer.

As a catholic you need to be conifrmed, I dont think this is the case for a protestant.

We needed to supply reissued confirmation certs to our priest to marry in a catholic church

i had friends who really had to go through that process confirmation of faith to the catholic doctrine. i never thought protestants also confirm.
