Where have I heard that before ? .... Let's hope you are right on that!

Why would that not be possible?
Mainly the Roman Catholic church has reservation on remarrying of it's members.
Without you telling us to which denominations you two belong, it is difficult to reply to this properly!
But there will always be a church where you can marry each other ....
WHERE (in which town) do you intend to marry each other?

I am sure you can find a church. Many churches marry a divorced person or people that do not attend or belong to a church, but some churches will not marry you if you are divorced or if you are not a member.

Why not explore being a member of a church?

I've regularly attended Wesleyan, Reformed Presbyterian, Baptist, United, and Anglican churches in the past and they all would perform marriages of divorced persons. Actually, at two of my churches, the pastors had been previously divorced. Good luck and congratulations.

There is no such thing as a church without sinners. We live in a world of sinners.

There are a few churches that may require either you or your partner to be members ( and I would assume you would know the church rules if you were members, normally the MO Synd Lutheran require one of the two people to be married to be a member, As does the Catholic Church.
There are many rules on a divorce person getting married in the catholic church and normally they will not.
But most churches will. Some court clerks keep a list of ministers that will be glad to marry anyone, But in general you can look at the Methodist chuches, and most of the Anglican churches as always good bets

We are both Roman Catholic and from Ireland.
