Factors To Consider In A Jewish Christian Interfaith Wedding

By Kenneth Howard


Love has no boundaries, and one cannot avoid someone just because he or she is of a different faith. Some of these religions have made it mandatory to have a wedding as a rite of passage. In such cases, one should be very keen in the decisions made to avoid offending friends and relatives from both faiths. Below are some aspects to take note when organizing a Jewish Christian interfaith wedding.

Take into consideration all the rituals from both sides to find the most suitable ones. Certainly, you cannot miss one or two rituals practiced from one of the belief to be unaccepted in the other. In such cases, you need to carefully examine both sides rituals before you agree on those to include in your ceremony. Such include kissing the bride in public, wedding buns and blessing of the wedding ring.

Acknowledge potential sensitive problems that can offend either of the parties. Whether you prefer a priest or a rabbi, you should raise their concern over sensitive words that might render some of the attendants uncomfortable. Words like Jesus can be substituted with Lord since Jewish do not believe in Him. Quoting the Old Testament is reasonable enough to avoid creating discomfort with Jewish attendants.

Secure enough amount to cater for the occasion. This kind of nuptials is expected to be affordable enough since there is avoidance of most activities. Even so, this does not guarantee that it should be dull hence. It will require a reasonable amount as well. Your relatives and friends can assist in your funding as you add on your amount. Have a wedding committee to plan the bridal as you engage in other activities.

Hire a professional planner to handle some tasks. Some of the required activities are quite hard to undertake especially in a limited duration. In that case, a professional bridal planner can help out, but you have to be very keen in your considerations to avoid ending up with the wrong personnel. Give them a couple of activities to handle preferably those which you cannot manage to handle effectively.

Choose a suitable location to handle your ceremony. There are tons of other places where one can hold an interfaith bridal apart from the respective worship places. This makes your wedding acceptable by both parties and avoiding favoring one of the sides. Check on crucial aspects like its affordability and its location to ensure that it goes within their budget and every guest makes a point to attend.

Check on the decors you make a preference to. A nuptial without decoration is considered to be dull and unattractive to attend. For this case, one needs to decide on decorations that are within the dictates of both faiths to make everyone comfortable with your selection. Confirm about this from relevant experts who are involved in interfaith bridals.

Consider your adaptation in the society. You need to ascertain that you adapt in both beliefs accordingly. Acquaint with family members from either side and try to acquaint with some of the common traditions from their devotion. It is recommendable to have both of you attend Christian and Jewish services as much as you want to maintain your religions.
