Sorry for the late reply, I later found out the piest was a long time family friend of the Groom's

I studied in a Catholic school, 90% of teachers werent priests. I received the sacrament of confirmation. Naw im agnostic.

 

Background:

Since 1978 Spain has no official religion although its tradition is based on christianism (Remember the spanish inquisition?), we got meny old churches and cathedrals and there are public events like easter (Not like in the Tom Cruise "Mission: Impossible film) or christmas, as well my name is "Marcos" like the apostle. Some people goes for civil weedings in the town hall. You can see some foreign Jehova witnesses and meny muslims. Its strange that there are really few jews.

 

Back in topic: My best female friend will get married by church next year and she told me about what they have to do before the weeding:

 

1. They talked with the priest and he was more interested in the money than in they beliefs

2. As they live in Italy and they will come to spain for the weeding, they will have to assist to a catechesis weekend.

 

Usually more catechesis are needed, but you can negotiate lol

Never heard about personality tests or cathechesis witnesess. Those are needed for signing something after the weeding and the civil register.

 

Hope ive helped you =D
