If both members are Catholic they are required to attend classes, which are called pre-Cana and usually last about four months. If one member is non-Catholic the engaged couple are required to attend a weekend encounter, which is similar to a retreat. The couple has to attend group sessions, then they have some time alone to work out any problems. This takes quite a few months. so don’t plan on getting married quickly in several months. If you do, you’ll be disappointed. Some Protestant ministers may require pre-marital counseling before they will marry the couple. The average time is about four meetings.
