I know kids who wanted to be married by a priest, but did not want their actual wedding in a church. They had a Catholic church wedding a few weeks before their celebration and then had a different officiant at the other venue, followed by the reception. To Catholics, marriage is a sacrament. Sounds like future bride does not necessarily want that, but may want to keep her parents/grandparents happy.

We were married in my family church and the priest allowed my protestant minister father-in-law to be a co-officiant although he did not perform the actual ceremony.

I just read there are two bishops that have started to allow priests to marry couples outside of church (Montana and Baltimore). Not sure what is required or if other bishops will follow.
