I would say it is a joint decision. Usually if you have a pastor/priest/clergy you both attend the same church. If not, then I think you need to sit together and decide where you will get married. My FI and I are doing a non-denomenational civil ceremony, but my parents, for example, were from different christian demoninations and because my father is not very religious they agreed to marry in my mom's church.

@lori2012: My parents had two officiants because my dad is jewish and my mom is christian. It meant a big deal to their parents to have both religions represented.

@lori2012: No, it's a decision that the couple should make. Even provided you share the same religion, I don't see why that decision should automatically fall to the Bride.
