I am just wondering if two people came from different religion and both parties wants to wed where both bride and groom wants an inter-religion wedding is it possible. It is possible that there will be two ministers for the wedding one from another religion and the other from the other? I know this will need a compromise but it is possible? who of you here where able to have this kind of wedding? Please share.

You can, although I've never been to one. I actually think it's kind of a bad idea. If the couple are both strongly religious in different religions, then how will their children be raised? It also seems kind of contradictory.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. happy mylotting!!! I know as they marry one of them should give in and transfer religion. the reason why inter-religion wedding will take place since they just want to honor the parents. but i understand one should really give in to make the relationship a success and so that the children will be born in the same faith.

Yes, I've been to them. They're nice and usually honor both people's traditions. I would be totally open to having a duel faith wedding if I was marrying a person who was not a Christian which I am also open to doing. Personally, I don't think God cares (or at least my version of God doesn't) which house of worship (if any house of worship at all) you get married in. Love is love. The shape of the house is the shape of the house. I'll get married in a temple, a mosque, a church. I don't care. That's such a small matter in the universe (in my opinion anyway).

I did not hear that wedding with two religions at the same time. I heard many times that people in different religion who got married will have ceremony in both faith but not at the same day. Well, It might be possible to do that but I never heard of somebody doing it in one setting. What I often heard was that, they will be solemnized by the pastor if the other one is a protestant then scheduled for another ceremony for the priest. But for me? in order to avoid complications, both parties who will get married must be in the same faith so that there will be no more problem.

I know lots of people that come from two different religions and got married. They only had one priest. I don't know if he was a neutral priest or of one religion, but it is possible. Many people do it many different ways.
