Tips on how to combine Jewish and Christian wedding traditions. Thousands of interfaith couples struggle each year to create a meaningful and inclusive wedding ceremony that both respects and includes two sets of traditions and two families. This book contains the ingredients for a successful and meaningful interfaith wedding ceremony. This book will help interfaith couples to: decide what kind of wedding they want, learn about Jewish and Christian wedding traditions and choose which ones are meaningful to them, get inspiration and support from the ceremonies and reflections of other interfaith couples, review sample readings, musical selections, and vows, and plan and write a ceremony that expresses both partners' beliefs and values. An interfaith wedding ceremony can include two sets of traditions and reach out to both sets of parents. It can be a beautiful and meaningful event that participants and guests remember for a long, long time. And it can start out a marriage on a solid, well-built foundation. This book is the only national compendium of sample interfaith wedding ceremonies. As couples and officiants prepare for an interfaith wedding, they will refer to this resource again and again.
