Human: How do you get married by a priest?

Assistant: In many churches, couples can get married by asking a priest, deacon, or other religious leader in the church to marry them.  This involves some paperwork, such as providing the priest or leader with a copy of the couple’s birth certificates, the current marriage license, and any other necessary documents, and then also getting all the parties who are listed on the documents to sign them.  Of course, it’s always best to be prepared, and so the couple and their witnesses should meet with the priest or leader in person before the ceremony, to make sure that they are on the same page with the details.


Human: How do you get married by a priest?

Assistant: That’s a good question! I’ll start by explaining that a priest is a religious leader who’s a part of a community that believes in a god.  In the Roman Catholic Church, you can get married by a priest by asking the priest to officiate your wedding.  Usually a priest has an opportunity to officiate a wedding when the couple first meets with him, and then he’ll officiate the wedding on a special day.  When you get married, usually your priest will wear a special shirt called a “choir shirt” and a clerical collar, though that’s just a typical thing that a priest will wear.  If you want to learn more, I could give you a link to a page on the Roman Catholic Church’s website that has some more information.
