Canon 1118. Marriage between Catholic or between a Catholic and a baptized non-Catholic party is to be celebrated in a parish church with the permission of the local ordinary or pastor it can be celebrated in another church or oratory . . . (2) The local ordinary can permit marriage to be celebrated in some other suitable place.

I believe it was her home in a tent on the grounds. Would that be considered suitable?

thanks for the info. I don't think someone's back yard is a "suitable" replacement since the canon states that it must be in another church or oratory (a place of prayer).

All I know is that the average poor person with fortunes less than a million MUST marry in a Catholic Church. I know plenty of people, mostly the brides, who have tried unsuccessfully to have their weddings in the banquet hall chapel, the park, etc. How did Frank Sinatra get 3 annulments? Money talks, and the Heinz Kerry's have plenty of money.
