Interfaith Ceremony Solutions

MaryElena, on August 4, 2019 at 9:41 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 6

Everything for our wedding is slowly coming along, one tiny problem... FH is Baptist and I'm Catholic. We mutually decided to have our ceremony at our venue (I felt that it wouldn't be fair to favor my religion over his, even though they're more similar than different). Has anyone else stumbled across similar issues when it came to interfaith marriages? Would greatly appreciate any advice!

    I think you're doing a great job! Compromise is key, so keep it up!

    I'm Jewish and my fiance is catholic. Hes more religious than I am though. I think he would have preferred a mass, but we compromised and did it in a mutual setting. We are having the wedding in the garden at our wedding. We will be having a priest marry us because he wanted the marriage to be blessed. I'm was totally fine with that. We will also have my cousin come up to do one of the Jewish wedding traditions too (the breaking of the glass). I know that wasn't really advice...I was just relatint to your situation Smiley smile

    I'm Methodist and my FH is Catholic. Marriage is a sacrament for Catholics but not for Methodists so for us doing the ceremony in a Catholic church was the easy choice because it means our marriage will be valid in the eyes of both churches whereas if we had done it anywhere else it would not be valid in the eyes of the Catholic church

    Hey MaryElena! I think you are being really considerate of both religions and it’s great that you are both able to make compromises so that your marriage is uniquely yours.

    What is your ceremony space like at your venue?

    Hi there- thank you for your kind encouragement! We will have an outdoor ceremony under the gazebo, backdrop being the woodlands! Intimately sized as it will only be 100 guests.
