Kerala is the one place where four Catholic traditions live side by side. A marriage between any of them is a marriage between Catholics, and families here usually begin the search inside their own rite.
A Catholic wedding in Kerala involves the parish from early on, and families who know what is coming find the months before the wedding far calmer. Requirements differ between dioceses, so treat this as the shape of it rather than a checklist, and speak to your own parish priest first.
Most parishes ask for a recent baptism certificate and a confirmation certificate, a free-status certificate confirming that neither party is already married, and proof that the couple has completed the marriage preparation course. The banns are read so that anyone aware of an impediment can say so. Where the bride and groom belong to different rites or different dioceses, the parishes correspond with each other and the couple normally marries in the rite of the groom unless permission is given otherwise.
None of this is a formality. It is the Church making sure that two people are free to marry, know what they are promising, and have been prepared for it. Starting the conversation with your parish before fixing a date saves a great deal of hurry later.
Your diocese decides the details. Ask your parish priest early.
Every Kerala diocese and eparchy has its own page, and each profile carries the diocese and parish it belongs to.
