Marrying a different religion?

Question

How does a wiccan and jewish get married? I mean how does the ceremony go? I dont know if we should go with a jewish ceremony or a wiccan ceremony if we go with a wiccan ceremony how does that happen?

Answer 1

Do anything you want. Since you are tossing your supposed beliefs out the window by marrying someone who practices an opposite faith what does it matter anyway? Neither of you is really following your own faith.

And as far as "letting your kids decide" Doesn't your religion require that you train up your child with the faith of Israel? Kids need to be educated and guided. With all due respect, your position is a cop-out.

Answer 2

u would have to ask your jewish priest!

Answer 3

I'm Assembly of God and hubby's Baptist...we've found that it's very hard to unite the two religions.  Our beliefs are different, and in order not to butt heads, we don't bring up our beliefs at all.  In your case, Hon, you've got some serious issues before you even say I do.  Before long, children will be in the mix...how will you raise them?

I think I'd do some serious thinking and talking to figure out the answers to these questions before saying I do and bringing kids into the mix.

God's blessings on you and yours...Always!

Answer 4

My ex is Baptist and I am Catholic, or was I should say I am now just Christan.  It did not work out.  We had way to different beliefs

Answer 6

more important, have you discussed the religion of the future children??

Answer 7

The ceremony goes how the couple decides it will go.  Marriages are not dictated by religion unless the people involved insist that it does.  Heck, a Jew and Wiccan can go down to the courthouse and get married.

Personally, as a Wiccan marrying a Lutheran, I got married in a Unitarian Universalist church.  It appeared generally Christian traditional (church-like building, minister, vows, etc), but no mention of any deities were made.  My husband and I feel that marriage is ultimately about us, not our gods, and that our respective gods will know what's going on regardless whether we mention them by name.
