    I feel like I've posted a bajillion things lately... week long summer break before summer classes gave me too much time to think wedding!

    Our ceremony will be Jewish/Christian, and the going rates for a rabbi are in the $1-2k range from what I've heard, while a pastor might be 10% of that. How would you feel if there was such a disparate gap between the fees? Think the pastor would feel jipped if he found out?

    There's no reason for him to find out.  Plus he shouldn't feel jipped as he is being paid the price he requested.

     

    ps.  where are you located?  we had such a hard time finding a decently priced rabbi.

    That's the thing... the rabbis in our area request a specific fee and the pastors don't... it's just whatever you feel like giving... but usually ranges from $100-300. We just spoke to a rabbi tonight and he said that he understands we're poor college students and will work with us on the fees. Maybe we'll just outright pay a reduced rate or maybe pay some now and more later when we're better established.... he didn't give us specifics yet since we're not sure about date or location.
