10 THINGS COUPLES MIGHT CONSIDER
- This marriage is about you first; your feelings, levels of religion/spirituality, comfort. Your ceremony should reflect what you wish to say. Do ask both families for input, but the decision is ultimately yours.
- Remember, never instead of
 always in addition to!
- Do you wish one officiant for your ceremony or would you like to have one representing each of your faiths? (i.e., a Rabbi and a Priest, or one Interfaith Minister.)
- What do you want your ceremony to say? Do your homework.
- Do you wish to add cultural parts to your ceremony as part of your heritage?
- Are you planning to have children? How would you bring them up? In which religion? Both religions?
- Speak upask questions of each other, of us, and of all those involved with your special day.
- Understand that there are few prohibitions against Interfaith marriages in the major religions of the world.
- Interfaith couples bring greater intention to their marriages than most couples who share the same beliefs.
- Remember that your wedding day should be the most fun you have together as a couple! Until that moment!
