Holly I am catholic and although I don't go to church every sunday (or very often for that matter!) I had DD christened. It was a requirement to have at least one godparent and yes BG is right, one of the godparents has to be catholic. You don't have to go to a catholic church, you should go somewhere where both you and Matt are comfortable and understand the implications of the ceremony.
I think if you really want your mum as godparent then you should do it! Your daughter and your decision, Matts parents will just have to get over it lol! Maybe they could be involved in something else on the day? Like doing a reading, helping to dress Mia........just a thought?
I agree. Ask your mum if she is catholic.
I went to a catholic baptism on sunday and there for 4 on that day and all had different types of god parents and different amounts of godparents.
Ashley is anglican and her god parents are anglican, catholic and greek orthodox (she has 3).
Ethan will have 2 greek orthodox and 1 presbyterian godparents when he is christened in janurary.
But the anglican church allow all christian demoninations to be god parents.
Perhaps matts parents can assist like sangie said with dressing on the day. Or with bonnernies afterwards?
As for others saying not to get them christened if you arent a strict catholic. You know faith comes in many forms and i think it is wonderful you are looking for your daughters future and protection in the church by getting her baptised. Even if you dont attend church regularly
