If she had not been baptized before, and she had not been married before then she can marry a catholic and it would be an ok marriage with the church. It is handled in the bible, not a problem, happens all the time.
If she is divorced, her first marriage needs to be handled before a priest will marry her. If she as been baptized in another christian faith, there is more work before the priest will do the marriage. It may be easier to go through the conversion which is normally finished at Easter.
She can always get married first and become Catholic later. The only down fall is that a priest may not do the ceremony.
You are right, the church does not make it easy. But they want their new Catholics to be real Catholics. Not just converting for the ceremony.
Interesting. My very catholic cousin was married in the Catholic Church by a priest to a non catholic she had lived with for quite some time before getting around to marrying him. In a dresss that was barely there and certainly didn’t cover her shoulders. Need I say her mom is a pillar of the church and gives them a lot of money?
She remains a catholic in very good standing despite her pro abortion pro gay marriage pro democrat stances. So don’t tell me the superior morality of the Catholic Church. Even without it being for sale. Funny how the rich and famous never have a problem getting that little anullment or are never bothered about those little votes in favor of partial birth abortion. Rank hypocrisy all around
