Answer
I don't know what religion you are so I can't say for sure. I know you're Christian but there are many versions or denominations of that. I'm very glad that you are staying with your religion after you get married. The Bible does say something about not marrying outside the covenant, which is not marrying someone outside of your religion. It's because usually, you become inactive or change to their way of thinking to keep the peace in your home. Just be careful and make sure you two keep talking about everything.

You can talk to your priest about this and see what he says specifically for you. I'm not sure if you can marry in your church. In my religion, only members can marry in our temples but it could be different for you. Talk to your priest about it.
