Question
Fr. ; my daughter and her fiance wish to have a              "destination" wedding at a resort. Both are roman catholics as are the parents. Is there a way to have a priest officiate ?

Answer
I've never heard of a "destination" wedding.  Marriage is supposed to be a Sacrament and is therefore to be entered into in a church.  The individuals should be getting appropriate spiritual advice on these matters from their traditional priest.  If they do not have one, they should consult the list at www.traditio.com/nat.htm.
