I have a friend who's getting married next year. He is a protestant and the woman is a catholic church goer. their initial wedding plan is to get married with a christian rite. but the parents are having their own opinions... the bride's family of course wants a catholic church wedding! Now my friend is torn! of course she wants a perfect wedding with everyone getting along... but how can this be possible now that everyone's confusing everything!! And no one seems to want to give way.... especially the parents... if it was you.. what will you do? go for your religion's wedding rites.. or give way to your soon to be husband/wife's choice?

Well that is the problem when there is an interfaith marriages that happens. There will be conflicts that happens with it. Especially when both families would insist on what they want to the wedding. I think this can only be resolved with the couple being the one who will decide for them. Anyway this is their wedding and they should be the one to be followed in here, I guess the families of both parties must be there to support only the couple and not dictate on what to do with them. As for the couple they should also show that their wishes will be respected in there. Although they are to give in to their wishes but I think the couple's decision will still be followed.

If it´s just the parents, I´d decide what to do with my husband to be and do probably a wedding with a christinan rite that does not "belong" to any church in particular. If both fiances are not able to have one opinion in this, theyd better not get married. Marriage means being able to seek a way nt to hurt the other.

If that was me, both our parents can stay home that day. She is the one getting married. It is their day and decision to make. Why parents and relatives always need to be difficult, only they would know. TATA.

I agree with you. relatives can really be of no use when it comes to decisions such as this. but you do have a point. i told my friend to talk with her groom to be. they are the ones who need to decide what they want... so i am not sure if they have sorted it out... thank you saphrina for your thoughts.
