Is it okay if both couple that have different beliefs will get married in two different churches? For example --- first, they will get married in Catholic church. After Catholic church, they will get married in Protestant church. Is it okay if both couple that have different beliefs will get married in two different Churches? And then, if they borne a baby, they will baptize him in Catholic church and also in Protestant church. If the child grow up, he will decide to himself of which two religion he must fit in. Do you think that it will work out for the two couple that have different beliefs?
Love does not based on religion, am I correct? Either you have different religions, you still love each other, so is this okay if they both married in different churches?

Yes, my cousin and his wife got married in twice. Once in a Catholic Church, by a priest in New York's Long Island, and the second time was in Montana in my cousin's wife's backyard. The reason they did this was because the family could not attend both of the weddings.
Now my brother and his girlfriend would have done this as well, if my brother were still alive. My brother's girlfriend was Jewish, and my brother was Catholic. They would have to work it out in a way where the families could attend both weddings.

Oh yeah, people do it all of the time. It's nothing new. People in my family do it a lot. Many of my cousins come from different backgrounds and religions, and they get married in their church and their spouse's church. It's not that big of a deal.

My husband and I are of two different religions and we got married. If two people love each other then religion does not matter. When my husband and I have kid we will raise our children in both religions and when they are old enough they can decide what religion they want to believe in. My husband and I had a lovely outdoor ceremony and a small reception. The minister who married my husband and I kept the ceremony short and sweet without going overly religious. Actually my husband and I wrote our own vows and beore we were pronounced man and wife my husband and I spoke about how we knew our marriage would be successful because of all the love and support we have from the family.

Oh. That is wonderful, but some other countries like here in the Philippines, couples that are different religions are not allowed to get married unless your partner become Catholic if for example, you are a Catholic. My mother said this to me or may be, she just said this to me because this is what she knew for our religion even if it is not true.

If they truly love one another, then they will find a way to make it work. And if they want to get married in two different churches, so the marriage is recogized than "wonderfu" it just goes to show you that marriage should be based on love andnot religion, and anything is possible where love lives.

Oh yes. I agree with you even if there some people in the society still considered religion before getting married. I believed that love is the most important thing in the whole world and love is not based on religion.

I think it is perfectly acceptable for two people with different religious beliefs to get married. I don't feel that it is necessarry to marry in each church. the couple should choose one church to be wed in. their marriage should then be recognized by the other church.@IntrovertShy (2780)

So, how is the set-up? If two people with different religious beliefs can be married, how will they get married?
