Should i convert to being catholic?

Faith is just that, faith. You cannot push someone to be one kind or the other, and you should not feel forced to. It's a serious discussion between you and your deity; if you don't feel like you have accepted Catholicism as your faith, don't "convert" just for a ceremony.

Get married on the beach.

If it's that important to him and he has expressed to you this importance, then I guess it's worth considering. I'm assuming the two of you have discussed this, if not, do so before you two get married.

Otherwise, I would say nay. It's more of an insult to the Catholic church if you join just to say that you are a Catholic. Chances are good that if he is really only a Catholic in name and belief but not in practice, he probably does not give that big of a shit. You can be the biggest believer in the gospel that this world has ever seen but if you don't at least put effort into practicing it (even the more ritualistic aspects like church attendance and sacrament), then it can't be of that much importance to you. Don't put effort into joining a religion that you are uninterested in. It's a waste of your time and theirs, don't drop any eggs in baskets that you're not going to return to, cherie.

What sect is "Church of Christ"?

That aside, you shouldn't have to change for him. I'm sure he won't mind if the ceremony gets changed a bit. If he cared, he'd take his religion seriously and and try to get you to do the same. He loves you the way you are. Do what you do, as it seems to be working out for you. Good Luck:)

I'd have to say don't do it. Although, I am biased to organized religion, especially ones that harbor child molesters at such a large rate.

Better chance of your marriage lasting and being happier and feeling more secure if you get married in the Catholic church. It could being insulting to Catholics if you become one just to marry in the church, but who knows...maybe becoming catholic, or the process, could be life changing.

I would ditch religion, and become Atheist.

what idiots said no or other?

My Granny converted to get married into the Church so as
her children could be brought up catholic also,
i have no idea if it is legal for you to marry in the church if you are not a catholic but if you don't believe in the word of the church and its traditions then
don't convert and waste the church's time go to a register office or maybe get permission to marry in your
own home a lovely day, well hope you have a lovely
marriage.

It would be cool to get married in the church. With this you will have your marriage blessed by the priest.

The pope and all popes before and after him are evil

If you don't believe in what the Catholic Church teaches about certain things (the Eucharist, ie, the bread and wine which turns into the Body of Blood of Jesus Christ, or Purgatory, or the Mass, or any other Catholic doctrine, then I honestly wouldn't convert. Marry your guy but if your heart isn't set on being Catholic then don't become Catholic. My Mom did that to marry my Dad but she doesn't believe in what the Church teaches.

Considering you're getting married, I have a feeling he may like you already, and will be more than happy to marry you whether you are catholic or not.

The Catholic Church is a deeply corrupt and controlling organisation. "Becoming" Catholic involves months of heavy indoctrination, it's a lot more work than it's worth for giving such a business (that's all it really is, although many within it are truly devout) what it wants most: another number for its statistics.

If you want to do it from the bottom of your heart you should. But if you feel like you're forced then don't. I'm a catholic and my boyfriend isn't anything either. I believe that if later in the future he doesn't want to convert it's fine I'm not going to force him because my religion doesn't push us to do anything we don't want to so why should we?
Thats why I like being a catholic. No offence to any other religion!!
Because I'm not forced to do anything. (ie, if I don't feel like going to church, I don't go) But thats just me and I'm not a big religious freak I just like to know that I belong somewhere :)

I would convert I did and it was the best thing I have ever done with my life. Besides when you start RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) there is an inquiry period where you are merely observing whether you think this is right for you. Don't listen to the liberal atheists on this site they have no clue about the stirrings of the Holy Spirit within a soul.

(black girl voice) Honey! You do wat ya gotta do. You dont need no man to run yo life. Gurl, be independent. Das wat up. Mhm
Shaniqua up outta dis bitch!

No, it's not important to him from what you've said, so why bother? If it was a genuine part of his life, it'd be different.

Definitely go for the beach :)

Many Catholics are Catholics moreso out of tradition than actual faith in their religion. I'd do it. If you don't believe in God or you believe in a merciful God then there's no negative consequences.
