    Hey all! I just went to a wedding last weekend... it was a lot of firsts - my first Jewish wedding, my first Filipino wedding yielding a lot of new traditions. The bride and groom did a great job of organizing the cermony and program and they didn't skimp on much. i wanted to share my most recent blog post http://crosscountrywed.blogspot.com/2009/10/rabbi-priest-and-pilot-walk-into.html for any of you who are balancing your own interfaith ceremony.

    Wow, that's a great post, and a super interesting wedding ceremony!  Thanks for sharing it!  I love seeing ceremonies that are truly interfaith, and really incorporate the two beliefs of the various religions, as well as the Fillipino traditions!

    great post.  Our wedding will also be interfaith and multicultural, (I'm Russian Jewish and he's Italian Catholic), so it's interesting to see how other couples balance the situation.

    I'm Catholic and my FI is Othodox. We tried really hard to be able to have a ceremony in both religions, but the Orthodox wouldn't budge. :'( We're starting with the Catholic wedding and we might have the Orthodox wedding at a later date.

    @GaBGal - were they able to actually recieve the sacrament of marriage in the Catholic church and have the marriage recognized in the Jewish faith? It sounds like it and that is awesome. kudos to the priest and rabbi for coming together!

    @Jacqi...I'm Orthodox and FI is Catholic.  However, he's very 'lapsed,' and has no interest in a Catholic wedding, so that made things a little easier.

    I'm also Canadian (Scottish-German) and he's Korean.  Instead of having a multicultural wedding, we decided to have a traditional Korean wedding (which no one in Korea actually does anymore!) in Seoul where we live, and a very mainline Canadian wedding near my hometown.  I love multicultural/multifaith weddings, but in our situation it seemed much easier to do two very traditional weddings separately (the Orthodox wedding will be the THIRD!! wedding...and it will be held in Seoul...but possibly served in Greek, English, and Korean^^...so I guess that's going to be the multilingual wedding!!)
