Can I do ROM 2 years before a Catholic church wedding?

[BtbLS]

Hi! My future husband is non-catholic, I am catholic. I’ve done my research that there’s no issue on getting married in a catholic church. As long as one of us is a catholic, good to go! So now, with financial contraints, we want to separate ROM and wedding in catholic church. Is this possible?

We would like to do the ROM end of 2025 and church wedding only in 2027 (2 years later). How will the signing of certificates be? How will the church recognise our marriage?

Burning question: IS THIS EVEN ALLOWED? Anyone done this????

I doubt this would even be allowed by the Catholic Church. The ROM will ask who your solemnizer is. If you want a Catholic priest to be your solemnise, then you have to do MPC and the other processes. Better ask your church priest for more details. And church wedding would not cost you much is you are okay with getting it simple.
