[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can say no to being a bridesmaid, but I don't think there's any way to politely suggest they tone it down.  I don't know the particulars of the end of the first marriage, but[b] I thought most Catholic churches wouldn't perform a mass for a 2nd marriage[/b].[/quote]

They will if she is widowed (& her fiance either never married or is a widower).[/quote]
You can get a church annulment after the legal divorce. Then, you are free to marry in the church again.[/quote]

[b]If your first marriage was out of the church and there was never a convalidation of that union, you can get married in the church your second time around.[/b] This is because the church doesn't recognize your first union. [/quote]

No.  You cannot.

This statement is 100% incorrect.[/quote]

Not 100% incorrect. If she was a Catholic woman and got married outside the church without a convalidation, then it is not considered a valid union (lack of form). if she was NOT Catholic, she can get married anywhere and her marriage is presumed valid. If she was non-catholic, divorced, and then wanted to get married in a Catholic church, she would need to go through the same annulment process as any catholic who was married in the church.[/quote]
