    Hi bees!  My fiance is Christian and my family is Hindu.  We are are planning on one fusion ceremony.  My bridesmaids are wearing saries and I'm wearing a cream lengha.  We will have a unity candle and I'd like to somehow incorporate the saptapdi "the seven holy steps" and the jai mala into the mix. 

    For those of you who had or are planning a hindu/Christain fusion ceremony, do you have an outline of your program?  I'd love to get an idea of how to structure the blending of the two.  Would LOVE to see a copy of your wedding program for ideas.

    Thanks!

    Hello!

    My fiance is Hindu and I am Christian... while we are both really spiritual more than religious so thought one ceremony combining both of our traditions would be more fitting for us, as our life together will be a blend of the two as well.

    We are in the process of finding a non-denominational officiant as well as a Hindu Pandit, and wanted to try to outline how we see the ceremony going.  How are(or did) you end up combining the two? Any help would be appreciated!

    Many thanks,

    Amy

    @AmyCheree: Many of the brides I work have done some creative fusion Style programs.  I'd be happy to share some of the various formats I have come across.  Email me: aayancreations@gmail.com.

    You can try to (1) have the ceremony in a non-religious venue to accommodate both cultures (2) have 2 officiants or an 1 interfaith officiant who will speak to both cultures, and/or (3) combine the rituals. For instance,  exchange vows and rings instead of garlands.
