If you want the Catholic Church to recognize your marriage as valid, this is the set of rules that you will have to follow;

[18] The Church's law does not govern infidels.  Such persons are capable of contracting valid natural marriages that are valid and lawful inasmuch as they meet the conditions established for validity and liciety according to whatever governing body to whom they answer.
Do two apostate Catholics validly marry outside the Church?

Techncally no.
This also refers to people who were baptized into the Catholic Church as infants and were brought up outside of the Faith or left. There is a thread on Catholic Answers about a woman who is eastern rite yet left the Church and married a non Catholic and wants to return and there are complications. In another case someone who was baptized in the Catholic Church, was brought up outside the Church, married outside the Church, came back and at RCIA her sponser told her she was "living in sin."
There have been other similar situations. In each of these cases they had to be married in the Catholic Church as part of their return to the Faith.
