Can a Muslim stand as a groomsman in a full Catholic Wedding to be held at a Catholic Church with a Catholic Ceromony? He is one of my closest friends and is a Muslim. I am a Catholic and so is my fiance.

congratulations on your upcoming wedding. i wish you and your wife the best and pray that God will watch over both of you in your lives.

i have never heard of a restriction regarding your question. the best person to ask would be your priest. if nothing else, all you need to do is get a simple dispensation from your bishop to allow it, although in this circumstance i doubt that even that will be necessary.
